HELP!

I am getting into the commercial business with my new job. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The commericals are to recruit people to become math and science teachers and I need a catchy hook phrase for the commericals and print ads.


Any ideas on a phrase we can use? I'm drawing a blank and thought maybe some of the creative types can help me out.

Thanks!

Do the two need to be addressed together in the slogan, or separate ones for each subject?

Off the top of my head after reading your post I thought of "It all adds up to knowledge" incorporating both since science is derived from the latin word for knowledge...but I'll need to put on my thinking cap to see if anything else pops up.

yep it is a STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) recruitment effort... so we would want it to relate to those teaching areas...

Where are these jobs located? And are you trying to recruit people from out of the market?

Also, what age are the students?

And anything notable in the benefits offered?

I'll try to work on something, but the more information I have to work with, the easier it will be.

Also, you may want to have some conversations with current teachers. Ask them questions like "Why did you take this job?", "What do you love about working here?", and "What would you say to someone considering a job here?". Listen to their responses and a lot of times they will say something thats perfect for you to use.

During my years in marketing, clients (and their employees) have often provided me with their positioning statement during conversations such as this (even though its something they weren't utilizing until I brought it to their attention)

Also, what age are the students? we are looking for career changers so over 30

And anything notable in the benefits offered? tuition reimubrsement and signing bonus. also many schools give your more money to teach ina STEM field

So are recruiting for them to go to school for this? You're actually talking to the unqualified now and telling them how to take the steps for a new career?
