How we helped New Jersey recruit and retain teachers through a bilingual, nine-channel campaign.

Too few people enter the teaching profession. Too many experienced educators walk away. The New Jersey Department of Education needed a campaign that could attract new candidates and remind current teachers why they chose this path.

Too few coming in. Too many walking away.

Too few people enter the teaching profession. Too many experienced educators walk away. The New Jersey Department of Education needed a campaign that could attract new candidates and remind current teachers why they chose this path — in English and Spanish, across a nine-month flight.

02 · The Insight

Every teacher remembers that one teacher.

Every teacher remembers the teacher who changed their life.
That emotional truth became the campaign's foundation. And because educators don't live in one channel, the media plan couldn't either.
03 · The Solution

A living system, not a fixed plan.

"Teach. Inspire. New Jersey." ran across nine channels. We treated the media plan as a living system, refreshing creative throughout the flight and moving budget by audience and language based on real-time data.
