The Brief

Invite technical students from the Polytechnic for a career talk about jobs in the Navy.

Creative Execution

Technically-minded prospects were intrigued to solve the message.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

Despite the previous use of expensive premiums, the response rate from past direct mails was 0.5%. To break out of the mould, we sent a fold out poster with a distorted message and paper tools to decode the message.

Results

This resulted in a 410% increase in the response rate compared to the Navy's last direct mail invite cost twice as much to produce.
