JTL came to our digital and creative agency for a campaign that would highlight their commitment to the net zero initiative and showcase that by becoming an electrician, apprentices can work in a vital trade that will heavily contribute to the UK’s net zero targets.

The messaging needed to underpin JTL’s goals of recruiting more learners to take on an apprenticeship, encouraging sign-ups through the website during a key time in the academic year around exam results.

Our Approach

For this education marketing campaign, research conducted showed that there is a want from younger individuals to have more meaningful involvement in environmental policies, however, they often feel overwhelmed by the information available to them. Within this campaign, it was important to encourage learners to embark on their apprenticeship, helping them understand that they have the potential to contribute positively to the future.

Your Future, Our Planet

The final concept which was used focused on the opportunity available to learners to play a part in changing their future and the planet’s environment, and was named “Your Future, Our Planet”. It embraced the desire amongst the target audience to be involved in creating a cleaner planet whilst enjoying the benefit of green skills that will establish them in a valuable and sustainable career.

We used imagery that is reflective of the target audience, supported by graphic elements signifying the tools of the trade. The messaging in this creative campaign was inspiring and informative whilst easy to digest and also gave a nod to their previous campaign “A Trade is Always With You”.
