Radio Campaign

Defence Force Recruiting – Cryptologic Linguist

The Royal Australian Navy launched these radio spots as part of a campaign promoting Cryptologic Linguists whose primary role is to translate languages. While Artificial Intelligence plays an important role in the modern workforce, it doesn’t always get it right when it comes to language translations. The campaign takes those mistakes and highlights them. Using sophisticated A.I., the advertising takes real mistranslated lyrics, movie quotes and phrases and uses them to highlight the importance of humans in these roles.
