PROJECT PROPOSAL & OUTLINE
BRAND IDENTITY : DCo EMPLOYEE WELLNESS
OVERVIEW & GOALS
Willa,
When last we met, we spoke of two main projects in an effort to educate the general employee population of Durham County Government about the Employee Wellness benefits available to them through DCo:
1. Branding Identity for the Employee Wellness Initiative as a whole, and the subsets of that initiative. As I understand it the following will be included in the brand identity:
-
DCo Employee Wellness (main umbrella)
-
Fitness Centers,
-
Choose to Move,
-
Wellness Clinic
-
Smoking Cessation
These initiatives will be branded, taking into account and reflective of the general branding for Durham County Government, utilizing color values and fonts that have been approved by brand standards previously set forth by the Public Information and Communications Office.
The second thing we spoke of was how to introduce these brands to the County's general employee population.
2. Launching Employee Wellness on the new employee intranet, MyDCo and featuring the marketing campaign on the new NYCU platform on MyDCo.
Starting with the brand identity build first will make launching that new identity and it's component's on the new DCo employee platform much smoother. This proposal will only deal with the branding of Employee Wellness and its subsets. The launching and collaborative build of the Employee Wellness sector of the intranet platform is already covered by my contract through the County Manager's office and will not be of addtional cost to you.
The following is an outline of the proposed work with timeline and cost estimate. We will start work once you are satisfied with the terms. A deposit of 25% down is requested, with the remaining balance due with each milestone completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions and when you would like to have a followup meeting to confirm and or change any of these terms.
Thanks so much!
