ARMY MARKETING

CAMPAIGN:

“WHAT’S YOUR

WARRIOR?”Army Enterprise Marketing

“What’s Your Warrior?” is a new campaign that focuses on the breadth and depth of roles the U.S. Army offers. This campaign showcases how these diverse skill sets and tal-ents come together to form the most powerful team on Earth.

“What’s Your War-rior?” is an evolution of the Army’s most recent mar-keting campaign, Warriors Wanted, and is designed to directly appeal to youth audiences by emphasizing the Army’s vast array of tal-ent requirements.

This campaign com-municates that there are many ways to be a warrior and, through Army service, Soldiers can contribute to something greater than themselves while improv-ing who they will become.

This campaign dis-tinguishes the Army’s recruitment efforts by accentuating that teams are exponentially stron-ger when diverse talents join forces. To overcome the misperceptions that have been created by popular media and mov-ies, the Army will contin-ue to communicate and inform its mission to pros-pects and their influencers through TV commercials, digital, paid search, bill-boards, and social media ads. Moreover, the Army will market innovative efforts to appeal to pros-pect audience between the ages of 17-24; use dig-ital and social media to engage with prospects and influences and drive them to GoArmy.com; and max-imize return on investment by marketing in a strategi-cally integrated manner.
