Summary
Over the years, the Australian Defence Force has maintained peace and prosperity in the region by employing young Australians with the aptitude and drive to serve our country. But some roles are harder to recruit for than others – like the Navy’s Cryptologic Linguist role. Our challenge? Turn the Cryptologic Linguist role into a job that people couldn’t resist applying for and ensure the safety of the region in the process. How? Pit humans against A.I. in our advertising.
