Engineering needed to be promoted beyond its traditional audience to tackle skills shortages and attract future innovators and entrepreneurs. The key challenge: connecting meaningfully with 13–18-year-olds on the channels they use most.
The #ThisIsEngineering brand and creative platform was launched to reshape perceptions. This high-profile, digitally-led campaign was designed to inspire the next generation by showcasing the astonishing range of fields engineers work in. Each campaign has featured 30-second to 2-minute films, with cut-downs tailored for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter.
