OilCareers.com required a campaign to generate significant footfall on its website and create visibility of the brand during the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston. The market place is a virtuous circle, so with a small booth, limited budget and extremely crowded event, the campaign had to align with OilCareers.com’s longer-term strategy, to position it at the heart of oil and gas jobs –providing candidates and recruiters with everything required to find a perfect match.
Capturing the zeitgeist of modern US culture, the campaign asked visitors to the conference to rate their job satisfaction by taking a drink in a coloured cup:
• Red – I really love my job
• Amber – Excite me and I will consider it
• Green – I could be just what you are looking for
The campaign was a hit with visitors and received interest from local and international media. Such was the physically viral nature of the campaign; cups have been spotted in two international airports. Its success has seen OilCareers.com implement traffic lights across its worldwide exhibition schedule.
