IMPORTANT NOTE: Beginning with the FY23 Co-Op Program, any Virginia partner who would like to participate in the Google and/or Social Media Co-Op Programs, and who has not participated in the programs in years past, will need to go through a new vendor registration process, in order for the Mediahub team (previously The Martin Agency) to set you up in their financial system. At this time, the new registration process only applies to partners new to either program. The steps are outlined in the FY23 applications, but also included here.
Any existing Co-Op partners (have participated in either program in years past) will need to complete and provide the FY23 application to the Mediahub team.
