2 OBJECTIVE SINCE 2009 THE ARMY HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING A STEADY DECREASE IN APPLICATION NUMBERS FOR REGULAR ARMY OFFICER ROLES, RESULTING IN REDUCING NUMBERS MOVING ONTO THE OFFICER COMMISSIONING COURSE. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED NUMBERS, THE ARMY WANTED TO GENERATE 3,876 ARMY OFFICER APPLICATIONS DURING RECRUITING YEAR. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO BE A GRADUATE IN ORDER TO BECOME AN ARMY OFFICER, THE ARMY TOOK THE DECISION TO GO AHEAD WITH ITS FIRST OFFICER-SPECIFIC RECRUITMENT DRIVE IN EIGHT YEARS AND TO TARGET IT DIRECTLY AT GRADUATES.

3 THE IDEA We went onto campus with fully-branded exhibition trailers that enabled us to showcase the reality of being an Army Officer in a way that generated excitement, really engaged with students and started conversations.

4 These interactive truck roadshows included Samsung Gear VR experiences where students could jump from a plane with Paras, drive a Challenger 2 tank or take part in an urban combat exercise. There were also Blippar posters with interactive content, a digital role finder where students could swipe and tap their way through all 30 Army Officer roles to find out more about each of them, and an interactive touch screen that showcased life at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

6 Students could test their leadership skills by taking on the lead role in an interactive film, which demonstrated some of the techniques that are taught at the Army Officer Selection Board. This Interlude film let them step into the story, make choices that affect the narrative at key points and feel the emotions that were a consequence of their decisions in real time.

Using the Oculus DK2 VR headset together with a WizDish an omnidirectional locomotion platform players stepped into the centre of a briefing being given by a Sandhurst Physical Training Instructor.

9 RFID dog tags were issued to students when they arrived and registered at each event. These gave us the ability to track how each student interacted with the various activities, as well as a marketing database (capable of being segmented by gender, year of study, degree subject and university) for use in follow-up CRM activities and as a means to track ROI.
