Jobstreet won Best Marketing Campaign 2016
JobStreet.com was awarded the Best Marketing Campaign accolade at The Global Recruiter Asia Pacific Awards 2016. The win was for its #icanbebetter campaign, which was designed to remind all to think about their roles and pursuits outside of their jobs.
The key objective of the campaign is to empower individuals to improve their lives through better careers. It sends out the message that a job is never just a job. The chain effect of our happiness at work affects us and those around us. We are all either parents, sons or daughters, siblings and friends to someone. #icanbebetter is a belief we hope everyone will have in themselves. It is the beginning of a change. To be better at work, to be better to ourselves, to be better to everyone else surrounding us.
The campaign was rolled out in 5 countries-namely Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam, using an integrated marcom approach triggering candidates to reflect, believe, and feel enabled. It implores all to think about their personal job motivation such as family and friends, travelling and passions. It also drives home the message that a good job is not always the one with the highest salaries, but the one that allows an employee to pursue his/her lifelong dreams.
Commenting on the campaign, one of the judges said: "Great concept! Lifestyle balance resonates with the young generation. The success of the campaign shows that job candidates are yearning to "be better" but need the inspiration & enabler to follow-through. The marketing campaign provided the mechanism to making that career move a reality."
"We are honoured to receive such great recognition for our social empowerment campaign. Beingthe leading online employment marketplace, one of our missions is to empower people to be better by improving lives through better careers, regardless of the career stages they are at. At JobStreet.com, we are committed to constant innovation to effectively facilitate the matching and communication of job opportunities between jobseekers and employers," said Ms Geraldine Wong, Chief Marketing Officer of SEEK Asia, the parent company of JobStreet.com and jobsDB.
