National Police Federation - It's Tough, But...
In close collaboration with our client, the National Police Federation, we produced the creative assets for the multi-award winning recruitment campaign "It's Tough, But..."
The primary goal of the campaign was recruiting new Members, but the campaign also had a very clear secondary goal of educating the public about the unique experience of RCMP officers, thus improving public sentiment. Research determined the need to be honest, authentic, and even “gritty” to effectively reach our audience.
The unique tagline was developed by while editing the primary product of the campaign, a 90-second video (later edited to include 60-second and 30-second versions). Additionally, we created a unique visual identity for the campaign, where the message “It’s Tough, But…” was splashed in bold across scenes of high-energy police activity, with the subtle secondary message “Worth It” buried discretely into the surroundings. Alongside this, we created several videos, a microsite, and digital ads. The campaign can be viewed at:

The videos ran across the web, social media, digital news, and select cinemas.
