The Foreign Trade Association of German Retailers (AVE), in close partnership with a Ghanaian industry association and with support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), is implementing a project to strengthen the institutional capacity and international positioning of the garment and apparel sector in Ghana.
Within this framework, AVE invites qualified consultants to apply for the position of Public Relations and Online Marketing Consultant.
Background
The Ghanaian industry association represents apparel and textile manufacturing companies with the objective of enhancing competitiveness, market access, and sustainable growth. As expectations around transparency, sustainability, compliance, and professional communication continue to rise, the association seeks to strengthen its public relations and online presence across a broad range of non political stakeholders, including international buyers, member companies, development partners, private sector actors, media, and the general public.
The assignment builds on insights from a recent study tour to Germany and aims to translate lessons learned into a coherent, stakeholder oriented communication and digital marketing approach. Political advocacy and government relations are addressed separately under the project and are not part of this assignment.
Objective of the Assignment

- Develop a clear and coherent public relations and online marketing strategy addressing relevant stakeholder groups.
- Integrate lessons learned from the Germany study tour and adapt suitable best practices in communication, branding, and sustainability messaging.
- Strengthen the association’s online presence and messaging across relevant digital channels.
- Ensure coherence with other communication related project activities while avoiding duplication.
- Provide practical guidance to support implementation and long term use of the strategy by the association’s secretariat.
Expected Deliverables
- A brief inception note outlining the proposed approach and work plan.
- An analysis of the current communication and online presence, including key insights from the Germany study tour.
- A practical public relations and online marketing strategy addressing the relevant stakeholder groups.
- A concise implementation roadmap with basic monitoring elements.
