Accenture Song has created a campaign platform called “Nothing Can Do What a Soldier Can Do” in its ongoing work supporting The British Army recruitment. The new line is being introduced in this 60-second hero film directed by Nicolai Fuglsig of MJZ.
This "The Army of the Future" spot shows an imagined, dystopian future where a robotic soldier scouts the terrain of a conflict zone. Made of over 4,000 individual CGI elements and 2,000 sound design samples, it paints an impressive picture. But it can’t replace the value of a solider, and this is where the spot ends--identifying the true face of the Army’s future: you.
Nik Studzinski, chief creative officer at Accenture Song, said that this new campaign “highlights another strongly held belief in the British Army; that while they are one of the most technologically advanced in the world with incredible kit and impressive hardware--nothing will ever replace their single, most important asset. The soldier.”
