Execution
The creative solution was to add the real costs of drunk driving to customer’s bar tabs. The goal was to get people’s attention right before they left the bar and persuade them to think about alternate transportation. A second goal was to spread awareness about the dangers of drunk driving. We filmed everything during those nights in the hopes that we could utilise the Internet to attract hundreds of thousands of views.
Outcome
People asked to take the bar tabs with them to show their friends. Then the message took off. In just one month, it became a Trending Topic on Twitter, gained 200,000 views on YouTube and was mentioned in hundreds of blogs. The case video was discussed so extensively that it became one of YouTube’s most discussed videos in both Brazil and Spain. With 503,000 mentions on Google, Bar Aurora and Boteco Ferraz received tons of attention. As for talking to drunk drivers, on the nights of this action there was an 80% increase in consumers hailing cabs from these locations.
