There are perhaps no goals more vital to the average department than first responder recruitment and retention. Nationwide, we’ve seen a tremendous shortage of first responder applicants, as departments are struggling to resonate with younger generations through the use of digital media. In the same sense, thousands of departments lack the necessary resources, time, and funding to assemble an adequate retention strategy.
Building a culture that incentivizes and recognizes its members is increasingly important, yet the true challenge is properly showcasing this culture to the next generation of firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and so on. 9-ONE-1 Marketing combines decades of firefighting experience with decades of digital marketing prowess. We’re a specialized agency that partners with emergency service organizations to enhance their recruitment efforts and ultimately find qualified candidates to fill their uniforms.

Proven Tactics, New Means of Delivery:
Many departments have an old-school mentality. Perhaps it’s tied to the rich history and tradition of your organization. At 9-ONE-1, we never want to abandon these customs or traditions, we just want to package and deliver them in a way that resonates with the digital age. We mix age-old marketing solutions with a strong knowledge of the digital media landscape to create a comprehensive marketing campaign. Utilizing traditional advertising verticals like posters, signage, brochures, and tents while implementing social media campaigns, SEO, and website rebuilds results in an all-inclusive first responder recruitment plan.

What recruitment looks like today is certainly different than it did 20 years ago. To stand out amongst millions of online distractions, you’ll need a focused marketing plan that can really resonate. From a digital perspective, our expert team will identify the areas in which your target demographics are interacting.
