Finding the ‘why’ for Irish Defence Forces.
The Irish Defence Forces is an incredible organisation with opportunities at every level for all types of skills and talents.
But as is often the case, they were having a hard time communicating this abundance of possibility.
I started by conducting a deep-dive into the reasons why those who work in the Defence Forces joined in the first place. Armed with this data, I created a campaign based on authentic experiences that encouraged people to join, with a subsequent 80% uplift in new joiner enquiries.
16 pieces of radio and podcast creative and the social film was written, produced and delivered by me, working alongside a small and mighty team of my chosen few talented souls.
The Film
Repurposing existing archive footage into a new campaign with a killer edit and script to match, set off with spinetingling VO deliveries across the board from Dónall Ó Héalai and Breffni Holohan.
The audio.
8 scripts in English. 8 in Irish. 4 for radio. 4 for podcasts.
An admin dream it may not have been, but a creative delight it most certainly was.
