About SRI. SRI is a nonprofit organization committed to strengthening the economic, cultural, and civic vitality of downtown Sunbury. Through partnerships, volunteerism, and community-driven initiatives, SRI works to create a vibrant and inclusive city center that serves residents, businesses, and visitors.

About ThinkSunbury. ThinkSunbury is SRI's community-wide branding and engagement initiative and serves as the marketing arm promoting Sunbury's local businesses, events, and community assets through ThinkSunbury.com and the ThinkSunbury Business Association. More than a slogan, ThinkSunbury is a mindset and a movement that invites residents, businesses, organizations, and visitors to see Sunbury through a lens of possibility, from its historic downtown and riverfront parks to its artists, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.

The need. Current outreach relies mainly on text and image social media posts, which platform algorithms increasingly deprioritize. As a result, ThinkSunbury's messaging largely reaches existing followers. SRI is seeking a partner to expand that reach to new residents, visitors, and business owners in the region through modern digital marketing and short-form video. Funding.

This project is funded by a USDA Rural Development Rural Business Development Grant (RBDG). The selected contractor must comply with the federal requirements.
