Challenge

How do you make a telecoms giant appeal to the next generation of software engineers?

Vodafone needed a real boost in junior applicants for its software engineering roles and graduate programme. But there was a problem: young tech talent didn’t see Vodafone as a destination employer.

It was time to change that. Vodafone brought us in to help shift perceptions for a digitally native audience who want to see authentic purpose, people, and proof – not polished pitches.

SOCIAL CONTENT

Approach

Shifting the narrative with real stories (in places that matter)

We focused our efforts on the place where Gen Z spends most of its time: TikTok. And, to shed light on life at Vodafone, we put influencer marketing front and centre. Why? Research confirmed that authentic creators could drive more influence than brand-led content.

Up stepped Tasha Abigail. The perfect voice to tell Vodafone’s story. Identified for her strong following and credibility in tech, her content could reframe Vodafone – inside and out.

Our team created a three-wave content strategy (all of which was shot at the telecoms giant’s London office). Everything from ‘day-in-the-life’ vlogs to interviews with real engineers helped pull the curtain back on life at Vodafone. And with a feed already full of tech lifestyle content, Tasha’s voice made the content feel natural rather than promotional.

IMPACT

  • 32,000 views and 89 hours of play time showed a sustained audience interest.
  • 27% of comments directly referenced the Vodafone graduate programme, careers, internships and roles.
  • 9.55% engagement rate outperformed the creator’s usual content.
  • Organic interest in junior positions grew, showing the message had landed in the right way with the right audience.
