Road Rebellion “Pave Your Own Way” Integrated Campaign

About the Campaign

The “Pave Your Own Way” campaign and Road Rebellion brand were created to educate people on what a career in road construction truly has to offer and to encourage more people to apply for jobs in this industry. The challenge was reaching an audience despite low unemployment rates, lack of knowledge about benefits in the industry, and the ever-increasing push towards 4-year educational institutions.

The target audiences were those graduating from high school deciding between college and a career, to people early or midway into a career seeking better opportunities. This demographic spends most of their time online, so that became the primary way to reach them.

Campaign elements included: Landing page featuring types of jobs in the industry, Digital Display and SEM ads, and Facebook and Instagram posts.
