easyJet's newest campaign transforms traditional one-dimensional recruitment billboards into a dynamic, interactive display, captivating passersby with the chance to chat with real top talent from its workforce. Created to get young women to consider a career as a pilot, easyJet's billboard in London features not only a scannable QR code but also real-life easyJet Captain Sarah Acklerley.
According to a new survey by the airline, 47% of young girls said they believe a pilot is a job for a man and 41% report never seeing a female pilot. What's more, 57% of polled participants believed that a university degree is required to become a pilot. Beyond its myth-debunking billboard, easyJet is inspiring the next generation of female pilots with school visits and Summer Flight School.
