I summon you to comradeship in the Red Cross' - Woodrow Wilson" poster
The pattern
This still is filed under Recruiting duty offer.
Define
Join us, framed as who you become, not as a job listing.
Mechanism
Identity offer. The role is a self. Benefits are secondary to the person you will be after you say yes.
Verdict
We are recruiting into a hard, proud, or transforming role: service, craft, a company with a real culture.
Why it works
It uses authority (a direct quote from the President) and patriotic ideals (the flag, the Capitol) to elevate joining the Red Cross from volunteer work to a national duty.
Steal this when
You have an endorsement from a high authority figure and want to frame participation in your program as an elite or noble calling.
