Request for Proposal: Brand & Communications Consultant

Title: Brand and Communications Consultant

Project Duration: 2 Months

Issued by: Impact Investors Foundation (IIF)

Submission Deadline: Monday, October 20, 2025

Engagement Start Date: Monday, 27, 2025

Are you a seasoned communications and branding expert passionate about driving social impact through strategic storytelling and brand stewardship? The Impact Investors Foundation (IIF), a leading non-profit dedicated to mobilising private capital for social good across Nigeria and Africa, is seeking a dynamic Brand and Communications Consultant for a pivotal 2-month engagement starting October 27, 2025.

Who We Are
Since our inception in 2019 as a multi-sector collaborative, IIF has championed impact investing by fostering collaboration among investors, policymakers, and ecosystem players. We have launched transformative initiatives, including Nigeria’s National Advisory Board for Impact Investing (NABII), and led critical sector dialogues shaping the future of development finance across the continent. Yet, our brand’s reach and visibility do not fully reflect our strategic influence and pioneering impact.

Why This Role Matters
In today’s competitive and fast-evolving impact ecosystem, a unified, compelling brand presence is more important than ever. We need a visionary consultant to develop and bring to life a comprehensive Communications and Brand Strategy that will elevate IIF’s profile, articulate our unique value, and engage diverse stakeholders, from policymakers and investors to entrepreneurs and the media. Your work will be integral to strengthening our institutional identity, enhancing stakeholder confidence, and accelerating ecosystem growth.

What You Will Deliver
Your consultancy will include a thorough audit of our current communications, strategic stakeholder engagements, and the creation of an integrated brand and messaging framework. This will cover digital and media strategies, proactive advocacy communications, and a data-driven content calendar. You will also build internal capacity through training and develop governance tools to institutionalize consistent branding and messaging practices. Ultimately, you will craft a 12-month actionable implementation and monitoring plan aligned with IIF’s mission and growth targets.

Who Should Apply
We are looking for individuals or firms with 7–10 years of demonstrable experience in strategic communications, brand management, and stakeholder engagement—especially within non-profit, development finance, or impact investing spaces. Expertise in digital marketing analytics, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and crisis communication will be highly advantageous. Familiarity with Nigeria’s impact ecosystem and a commitment to local content inclusion are essential.
