    Highlights

    How we developed a multi-faceted, integrated campaign to produce 10,000 applications from an improved diverse audience.

    • 1
      #GenerationPossible: Capturing the spirit of change embodied by Greta Thunberg, our concept drew on the opportunity young people have to make an impact on the world with Vodafone.
    • 2
      Effective Social Media Engagement and Campus Events: We used an innovative social platform to post, track and analyse a campaign across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
    • 3
      Improved Employer Image and Recognition: The campaign led to a 27-place increase in Vodafone’s Times Top 100 Graduate Employers ranking.

    Challenge

    Vodafone have a history of innovation that gives entry-level talent access to cutting-edge projects, including world-leading 5G and the Internet of Things. But they were struggling with a perception that meant they needed to:

    • 1
      Recruit 150 graduates and 100 interns/industrial placement students into nine business areas including digital, technology, HR and finance.
    • 2
      Combat negative perceptions and increase awareness of their status as a leading tech company.
    • 3
      Focus on attracting female talent to apply for an exciting range of innovative, tech-forward programmes.

    How we collaborated

    • 1
      Our Creative Team conceived of and crafted the innovative #GenerationPossible campaign and created a bold new brand identity. This was a vibrant mixture of bespoke photography, topic specific film content and a range of media assets to be used across our chosen platforms.
    • 2
      Our Assessment Team organised and managed the 41 on-campus events to facilitate direct interaction between students and Vodafone employees. These seamlessly run events enhanced not only direct interaction with the brand but shifted and raised awareness.
    • 3
      Our Media Team developed an effective strategy that accurately targeted audiences with incredible success: 1.5m Facebook impressions, 6.8m LinkedIn impressions, and an 89.3% increase in Instagram impressions.

    02

    A large number of high-engagement events across campuses with the highest female-to-male ratios for tech degrees

    03

    Beautiful, bespoke photography that more accurately reflected the target audience. These assets were also used in all our digital assets and careers page creative

    04

    A six-month long campaign that not only saw an increase in impressions across a range of media platforms but a more profound impact on the organisation as a place to work.
