Defence Force urges new recruits to ‘Fly Army’
Defence Force Recruiting has launched a new outdoor campaign for the Australian Army to promote the role of the army pilot.
Running through June, the ‘Fly Army’ campaign aims to recognise and promote the role of a pilot in the army as opposed to the air force.
Created by GPY&R Melbourne, the executions feature dramatic photography of helicopters in action and animals photoshopped into the helicopters’ kicked up dust.
The campaign was shot by Andreas Smetana who previously shot ads for Sydney Dogs & Cats Home with retouching by Electric Art.
wow, those are awesome.
Team done good.
Nice work.
Stunning photography – big ups for that. However as an Army Wife and working in Advertising i know that this isn’t at all what its like being a pilot with the army. The vast majority of the time you are doing peace keeping or small operations. I understand a good way to encourage men to join is the “big boys toys” sell however this is just not what the army is really like. Also there are so many issues with the fleet at the moment (black hawks having major issues) and contracts (due to budget cuts) are either on hold or not moving forward… sell the adventure but be realistic. LOVE THE skill behind the images though.
That is amazing work.
LOL @ Amy wanting a recruitment campaign to give an even handed assessment of the job. “Yeah so you get to fly helicopters but I must tell you there are so many issues with the fleet at the moment ….”
Somebody’s been reading a lot of X-men comics. The resemblemce is uncanny… (Still some great work tho’)
Brilliant! Perfectly targeted at 18-25 year old males.
A truly beautifully executed series of ads based on an idea at least ten years old.
Excellent work! Encapsulates the true feel of being a member of the defense force. Grim, isolated, harsh, yet powerful.
BAD ASS
Amy, if they showed what the army was really like in the advertisements it’d be XBOX, pictures of the gym, non-techs and the booza hah!
