The SEEP Network is seeking a consultant for a two-phase activity. During the first phase, the consultant will guide our team through a half-day exploratory session focused on
developing/transitioning our learning products to multimedia formats such as explainer videos, infographics, digital case stories and other formats. Upon satisfactory completion of phase one,
the consultant will work directly with a program team to evolve an existing learning output to a new multimedia product.
Background
SEEP produces numerous learning products in the form of technical reports, case studies, state of practice documents, standards and toolkits. Most of these materials are PDF documents and/or
presentations available via download from our website and resource libraries. We are exploring ways to evolve the presentation, key messages and highlights of our learning products through
engaging and visually compelling multimedia such as explainer videos, infographics, microblogs, learning galleries, digital case studies, story maps, digital storytelling, branching scenarios
and other interactive formats and learning platforms. It should be noted that we are not looking to evolve our websites, resource libraries or social media, though these platforms could be
used to present new media.

multimedia design process from conceptualization through final output
