The Royal Naval Writers’ Association is officially the oldest military association in the world, having been founded in 1887 as a Club and Benevolent Association for members of the profession. As with the profession itself, eligibility for membership is highly restrictive and the Association is only open to serving and ex-serving members of the Writer Branch within the Royal Navy, and as such it is also one of the most exclusive organisations in the world.
Slightly Different have been proud to work with the RNWA since 2005, and we are pleased to say that we have just been commissioned to redevelop the RNWA website with the aim that this will be a primary recruitment driver for people considering entry into the Writer specialisation.
The new website will feature a number of highly innovative approaches to appeal to people considering joining the Armed Forces of today including a blog, social media integration, members area, and an advanced mobile application, but the site will also cater for veterans of the Service.
Jeremy Hurst, the MD of Slightly Different said “We’re very proud to be associated with this website. I have been a full member of the Association for almost 25 years, and as an ex-serviceman this gives my agency a unique insight into creating a website for the military which other agencies with more traditional civilian backgrounds just cannot understand. We are therefore looking forward to replacing the existing RNWA site with something that will make the rest of the Armed Forces sit up and take notice.”
The new site is scheduled to launch in Winter 2010.
