 Request for Expression of Interest: Video Editor Consultancy Service (English and/or Bahasa Indonesian)

 

Background

Athena Global Alliance is a decade old, niche consulting firm in impact investing, with a current focus in emerging market financial services. Athena is administering a program in Indonesia to support lending to small and growing businesses, with a focus on women-owned/women-led businesses, called BIDUK.  More information about Athena Global Alliance is available here: www.athenaglobalalliance.com and our lead program, BIDUK, here: https://ixc.dfat.gov.au/projects/frontier-brokers/ .

 

Scope of Work

As part of continuous improvements to our communications strategy and external visibility, Athena requires the support of a video editor to develop short videos to be posted on social media and websites in an effort to increase the visibility of the BIDUK project. 

 

Content for the videos will be developed through a series of interviews between project staff, partners, and funding agencies conducted via Zoom or similar platforms. These interviews will focus on topical areas relevant to the BIDUK project and may include topics such as gender lens investing, financial products, eco-system and partnerships.  The BIDUK team will arrange the interviews and record the content online. 

 

The consultancy service is required to edit this content into a series of videos based upon a theme and style aligned with Athena’s corporate communications guidelines.  The theme and style will be agreed in advance with the BIDUK project team. Videos will be edited and prepared for publication via social media periodically (every 6 weeks on average) from late 2020 to mid 2021.
