7 DAYS IN THE NAVY IN 30 SECS
A new exciting direction in Navy advertising was launched today with the new
recruiting advertisement ‘7 Days in the Navy’.
The new campaign aims to promote a career in the Royal Australian Navy
through true-to-life shoots captured onboard HMAS Anzac over one week.
Minister for Defence Science and Personnel, the Hon. Warren Snowdon, MP,
launched the new ads onboard HMAS Ballarat today.
“This exciting new campaign will address the misconception that a life in the
Navy is a lonely existence,” Mr Snowdon said.
“The ad is fast-paced and takes the viewer behind the scenes into the world of
the Navy; letting them see what it is really like onboard one of our ships.
“Navy offers more than just great training and jobs, it offers a lifestyle, and this
ad reveals the multitude of experiences including the day-to-day tasks, travel
and sporting activities a Navy life holds.
“Viewers may be surprised to see what a week in the Navy involves, and this
is perhaps one of the reasons the ad is so striking.”
The new campaign commenced on Monday 18 January and will continue to
air on television until 1 February.
‘7 days in the Navy’ is a radical change in style and direction for Defence
Force recruiting and Navy advertising.
