The Campaign

We saw an opportunity to make the Swedish Armed Forces relevant to the public in general and the young target audience in particular while preparing recruits for the physical demands faced when joining our organization. Also the Swedish Armed Forces can not stand aside and watch as the public health declines. So we started FMTK (Swedish Armed Forces Sports Club) and launched our old strength-stamina-mobility-no gear-whatever the situation-whenever the time- philosophy, in a new way. To get people moving, the workout has got to be easily accessible, simple and back to basics and to optimize the reach in our target audience we decided to launch our philosophy in a new way, trough a mobile app. The FMTK-app became the essence of the campaign but also the natural hub for long-term communication. All you needed was your own body and some willpower. And the FMTK app.

Creative Execution

The strategy was to develop an ecosystem rather then a single product. The FMTK app was the centre core and a website, podcast and social media sprung out from it. To reach long term commitment and a flexible product that attracts our target audience, a scalable app was the only way to go. The FMTK app became the essence of the Swedish Armed Forces training philosophy. The process started with a pilot followed by research and insights that led to the concept .The concept was tested and when the results came back we designed a product with great focus on the user experience. We then implemented the code on all three mayor mobile platforms and launched a Beta to 50000 employees, to get helpful feedback and the chance to release a truly useful app. The public launch was a success and exceeded our expectations by 594%.
