Employer branding you can touch.

As more and more of the employer brand mix moves online, people are placing more and more value on physically engaging with real people and getting a feel for your brand.

Recruitment events are not just a nice-to-have part of the overall marketing strategy. In crowded markets, like graduate recruitment, where a number of organisations that the candidate knows little about are all offering a similar kind of opportunity, meeting people who make you feel comfortable, intrigued or excited is usually the clincher. So on-campus events or experiential marketing can make a major difference to brand recognition, hiring and retention. We can help book careers fairs and events, through to identifying the perfect location on campus to reach your core audience with a 'big on campus idea', we'll deal with the universities, manage risk assessments and all health and safety procedures, and we'll come up with an amazing idea to fully engage with students that delivers a lasting impression - see our Thales Helicopter, FSA ball pool or QinetiQ inflatable igloo/cube. All sourced and branded by aia. Experential marketing helps reach not just final year students but students at all stages of university life - which is great way to build your brand on campus and begin the process of creating a talent pipeline.
