A campaign built for eye rolls, bad ads, and burnt out job seekers

This one was personal. Because let’s be honest — job ads are broken.

Ethel didn’t want to sound like every other recruitment agency (thank god). So we built a campaign that called out the clichés, rewrote the rules, and actually said the quiet part out loud. Every line was designed to cut through the fluff and speak directly to the job seeker/hiring manager.

From strategy to creative, this was about showing that you can be clever and clear — and that honesty? It converts.

  • 📈 3x LOWER CPL

    We built a lead engine that didn’t just attract clicks — it brought in qualified candidates ready to move. Fewer duds. More “when can you start?

  • 📥 +212% LEADS

    After launch, form submissions more than doubled — and these weren’t tyre-kickers. We tracked conversions through to actual placements

  • 📈 +78% CONV. RATE

    By overhauling the landing page strategy and refining ad targeting, more clicks turned into real conversations. Fewer drop-offs. More hires.

HIRING DOESN’T HAVE TO SOUND LIKE EVERY OTHER JOB AD.

This one wasn’t about being loud — it was about being clear. We helped Ethel call out the clichés, ditch the corporate nonsense, and say what candidates actually want to hear. The kind of campaign that makes people stop scrolling, laugh a little, and actually click “apply.”
