The Be Constructive web site and advertising campaign was launched to advertise and promote working in the trade sector is a viable career choice as there has been a highlighted skills shortage of trade workers around Australia. The national marketing campaign which includes TV, radio, print campaigns, call centres and a website was needed to get the message across that you can "build your future on a trade". SM2 was approached to handle the development of a strategic website that would be used as a resource for current or interested trade workers with directs from the TV and radio campaign. It is also used as a knowledge base for the call centre staff to research and answer call centre queries. The Be Constructive campaign utilised many different agencies to tie together a national marketing campaign. To ensure strong brand consistency and the correct message was delivered, SM2 worked closely with other agencies, such as video editors, photographers, call centre script writers and advertising firms.
