The U.S. Secret Service, which took a PR beating after a couple was widely seen as crashing an exclusive White House event, issued an RFP in mid-December for help with its internal and external communications, reports odwyerpr.com. The report added that the RFP was released on Dec. 17 (proposals were due Dec. 23) under orders from the Office of the Director of the Secret Service, Mark Sullivan. The Service is part of the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security.
Sullivan has ordered a “communication review and strategy development” effort throughout the service, which is partly complete.
The odwyerpr.com report said that Tareq and Michaela Salahi drew widespread negative attention on the Service and the White House when they attended a White House state dinner in late November without an invitation. Three members of the Service have been placed on administrative leave by Sullivan
