The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) runs a short marketing campaign each year to promote the Department’s conservation cost-share programs. The summer campaign encourages farmers and landowners in Iowa to enroll in the state’s cost share program and add conservation practices, like cover crops, to their fields to improve the health of their soil and protect water quality in Iowa and downstream. This year, the campaign will also include a nutrient management component in the fall. The campaign will run in two phases beginning July 6 and continuing through August 12, then resuming November 5 and running through December 11.
The campaign should include a mix of digital advertising and radio spots targeting the following counties:
Audubon, Boone, Buena Vista, Calhoun, Carroll, Clay, Dallas, Dickinson, Emmet, Green, Guthrie, Hamilton, Hancock, Humboldt, Kossuth, Palo Alto, Pocahontas, Polk, Sac, Webster, Winnebago and Wright.
IDALS is looking for a qualified marketing partner to develop a paid media schedule, including radio spots and digital advertising, to promote both of these conservation programs.
