Employer Branding Initiatives of the US Army

<< Previous

“America has a vast experience with public relations and catchy phrases, but one of its best must be the “Uncle Sam wants you” recruitment slogan. So, America knows how to convince young men that it's either profitable, fun, or simply the “right thing to do” to join the army, but some of its more unorthodox methods seem to be more successful than the classic ones.”¹

- Florian Totu, games editor at Softpedia.com², in November 2009.

“I don't think our story is being told fully. We have over 150 military careers. We have great educational programs. We are a very high-tech Army and... we've gone out and talked to people and they don't realize that. And we're really proud to show those other aspects of the Army that aren't being covered.”3 - Edward Walters, Chief Marketing Officer, US Army, in September 2008. Building a Great Employer Brand?
