The Brief

The brief was simply to get people to realize that there are actual jobs to get in the Swedish armed forces. Jobs like no other. Therefore we developed an installation to prove just this by presenting a 'jobtest' like no other. The installation took place at Swedens offical recruitment offices; arbetsförmedlingen.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

The unemployment rates in Sweden are rising. Few people know that the Swedish Armed Forces can offer you a real job, almost immediately, if you have the right skills, that is. That´s why we built machines that tested these relevant skills and placed them in the official Swedish unemployment-offices; Arbetsformedlingen. For once, playing a game of skills could land you a joboffer on the spot.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

The campaign is still ongoing, but to this day over 5650 applicants applied for a job as a direct result of our overall campaign promoting this. That means that we already reached the goals for 2014, which by all means, is a huge success in itself.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Unemployment offices aren´t usually the most entertaining places you can set your foot in. The opposite, actually. To place a colourful installment that gives you both entertainment and a challenge in an office like that creates a natural pull when it comes to get people interested in trying it out.
