Project Details

Recruitment Marketing.

West Point’s Department of Admissions needed a new strategy to recruit qualified 17-24 year-old Gen Z cadet candidates through traditional and digital marketing campaigns targeting them and their influencers. So, we provided (and continue to provide) data-driven strategy, analytics/research, creative content, graphic design, social media, photo/video, experiential, web-design, print collateral, and media buying. We partnered with other large defense accounts and we built high-touch relationships with the 10 regional commanders and outreach officers for targeted regional, state, city, geo-targeting with region specific content. Now consumers have continuity between all interfaces, and we integrate ourselves in a personalized and organic way, demystifying our nation’s oldest academy and giving a look behind the curtain.  Our region-specific campaigns include the U.S. Northeast, Southeast, Great Lakes, Southwest, far West and OCONUS (Outside the Continental United States).
