National Student Advertising Competition

This project focused on creating an integrated strategic campaign for the job site Indeed. The  campaign focused on making Indeed the first job site Get Z thinks of and considers when they are starting their job hunt. The project began last semester with extensive research that included surveys and focus groups. From the research, we concluded that Gen Z wanted an authentic, and simple user experience from a job site. There we created the "No Bullsh*t campaign. This campaign involved Out of Home (OOH) advertising, a new user experience design, and a social media campaign all with the same message: Indeed cuts through the Bullsh*t.
