Description

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) are seeking to appoint a step-change, not an incremental update, in how the organisation engages digitally. The Mayor has expressed admiration for approaches that combine:

• Clear, simple, emotionally resonant storytelling
• Direct-to-camera authenticity and leadership clarity
• High-impact messaging and rapid response capability

The agency must demonstrate understanding of these styles and propose how equivalent impact can be achieved within a UK Combined Authority context.
