The Army of the future still needs you.
Army of the future advert encourages potential recruits to consider what the future British Army will look like by focusing on its position as one of the world’s most technologically advanced organisations, with a diverse workforce.
The campaign platform was created by the advertising agency Accenture Song has created a new campaign platform called ‘Nothing Can Do What a Soldier Can Do’, in its ongoing work supporting The British Army recruitment.
Directed by MJZ’s Nicolai Fuglsig, the hero film shows an imagined, dystopian future, where a robotic soldier scouts the terrain of a conflict zone. Made of over 4,000 individual CGI elements and 2,000 sound design samples, it paints an impressive picture. But it can’t replace the value of a solider, and this is where the spot ends – showing the true face of the Army’s future: you.
