The Brief

The brief was to find 140 medical students worthy of a Defence Force University Sponsorship. In order to find the best we created MEDICALLY DIAGNOSABLE ADVERTISING: That turned the advertising into the entrance exam.

Creative Execution

Getting the medical students to respond to real issues gave them a direct and in-depth insight into the amazing day-to-day lives of the role they would fill: Medical Officer. Recruitment advertising is all about finding the best, this campaign narrowed down the candidates for us, and then recruited them on-the-spot for their sponsorship.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

MOBILE MEDIC allowed students to use a range of diagnostic techniques to identify and treat real medical conditions using their smart-phones. Students graduated from patient to patient, in an effort to be rewarded with a Defence University Sponsorship. Visual and audio augmentation immersed them in the role of Medical Officer, letting them use X-ray, CT scanning, angiogram, stethoscope, ECG, ultrasound and much more, on real Defence Force scenarios. Students entered their details and received their results. Mobile Medic found and directly recruited the most highly skilled medical students in the country. Putting our Defence Force, and the citizens they work alongside, in safer hands.
