Why is this work relevant for Print & Publishing?

In Colombia, print media (newspapers and magazines) reach a wide audience as they are distributed for free along transportation routes and high-traffic areas. That's why we chose to run our campaign in this medium to increase impressions and strategically deliver our message to more people while they're on the move.

Please provide any cultural context that would help the Jury understand any cultural, national or regional nuances applicable to this work.

In Colombia, according to the National Transit Authority, 19 people die in traffic accidents due to driver distractions every 24 hours. That's why we decided to launch a clear and direct campaign during the Road Safety Month, targeting one of the main distractions: mobile phones. The goal was to raise awareness and change a deeply ingrained behavior among drivers who continue to use their phones while driving, despite it being prohibited and carrying corresponding monetary fines.
