Continue with blunt messages

Media impact

Implicate the public

Capacity to surprise again

How:

• By impacting and shocking people again.

• Directly appealing to each of us: “You could be one of them”

• Make the figures known directly, with the intensity and seriousness that the problem requires.

Make people think:

”What a tough but real message from the DGT!”

"Top holiday spots" tries to surprise the viewer with a tone and format that is completely different, similar to what is used in some travel programmes. The destinations of these holidays could be unexpected. The campaign is set out as a platform for content on a website with 18 pieces in an episode style of these unusual holiday destinations. The idea is to get viewers to reflect with a provocative headline: "there are some places you never thought you'd go, and you could go there over this holiday. Are you coming? And we're not exactly referring to the beach.

Appeal directly to people: Make them see in the most impactful way that they could be one of the victims of traffic statistics at Easter. When you are going to go on a journey you think you are going to have a good time, rest, visit places , etc, but dying surely isn’t part of your plans, however it’s possible if you don’t obey the rules.

Reveal something that is obvious that we never think about:

When it comes to a trip, we think about everything that we’re going to do, what we’re going to visit and enjoy, but we never think that we could die.

Anticipating the number of deaths and injuries so that they work as an alert, giving people a nudge with the aim of reducing them.

The aim was to reach the maximum number of people, to make an impact and not to leave anyone indifferent.

The way: with a very current, widespread code, episodes on online platforms (Netflix,HBO, etc).

The Key: grab the attention of the biggest number of people with a code and an apparently friendly media, that we will use to our advantage to communicate our powerful message and the terrible data.

• Timeline: Taking advantage of the media buzz that the DGT press conferences cause, which traditionally take place before Easter to present the operation that will take

Most importantly the number of deaths has fallen by 13% in respect to the same period last year, with an increase of 3.3% in traffic and what’s more with bad weather.
