The idea was to challenge the narrative and stigmas of the construction industry. Through the use of dynamic on-the-job images and close-up photography, we highlighted real people so the audience could see themselves in the messaging and be able to imagine what their future could be.

Our digital-first approach was designed to amplify Build California’s virtual experiences and create robust social media activations that included Instagram takeovers, social media giveaways, as well as branded virtual classes and camps for their e-cademy.

In working closely with the Build California team, we were able to attract Generation Z and younger audiences to the building trades by focusing on career outcomes, community contribution opportunities, and industry transparency. With this campaign, we reached a broader audience with results that skyrocketed and continues to improve since the launch date.
