The brief

NorthArc Energy was struggling to attract engineering talent in a highly competitive market — their employer brand was invisible on social media and their job ads were performing below industry benchmarks on LinkedIn and Indeed. Vacancies were taking an average of 94 days to fill.

What we did

M3CA developed a full employer brand platform for NorthArc: a brand positioning centred on 'the people who power the future', expressed through a hero campaign film, 18 employee story videos, and a photography library of 220 workplace images. The campaign ran across LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube with a targeted paid strategy built on custom audience segments. M3CA provided monthly analytics reviews with iterative creative optimisation throughout the 12-week live campaign period.
