Case Study
Summary
Changing behaviour is no small feat. When that behaviour happens to be drink driving and your target audience happens to be the most change-resistant risk-takers in the state, then you really have your work cut out for you.
With the launch of Transport for NSW’s ‘Terry Godmother’ campaign, not only did we see a dramatic 14% decrease in reported drink driving, and the lowest number of drink driving fatalities on-record, we also got there without saying anything new.
By amplifying an audience’s own instincts rather than attacking them, this case proved that sometimes, the messenger really is the best message.
