The Brief

Despite years of government scare tactics, inexperience, speed and the ever-increasing distraction of smartphones mean that 1 in 3 young Australian drivers crash within their first year of driving, and 2 die on our roads every week. Our objective was to encourage young drives to drive safely in a new way by using Samsung's strongest connection point to the young- the smartphone. To do this we developed S-Drive, a program that encourages and rewards safe driving. At its heart is an app that monitors driving behaviour, giving out points for every safe kilometre travelled, which can be redeemed for rewards.

Creative Execution

The ambient installations were an eye catching approach at getting our message out to young drivers, set up at their Universities, at the beach and by a popular café strip. Each installation had signage beside it that was embedded with NFC technology that allowed people to use the very cause of the problem, their smartphones, to tap and download the S-Drive app on the spot. The ambient installations played a key role in signing up 4500 participants within the first week and in turn helping transform one of the biggest distractions on the road into a life saving tool.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

Newcastle is an Australian city with the highest youth accident rates in the country. On average 41 mobile phone related car incidents are recorded each day. To help raise awareness of a new Safe driving initiative by Samsung called S-Drive, we created ambient Text Crash installations to remind to young drivers of the dangers of texting and driving. The objective of these installations was to drive recruitment to the S-Drive program and promote road safety in a new way.
