S-Drive to be factory installed on all Samsung Galaxy phones S-Drive now to roll out internationally with expressions of interest from 55 countries.
Based off our insight, the media team made it clear that traditional advertising wouldn't reach our target. S-Drive features a unique smartphone app that monitors driving behaviour, giving out points for every safe kilometre travelled, which can be redeemed for rewards. It is activated by NFC technology built into a customized phone cradle. By encouraging and rewarding safe driving rather than using shock tactics, we were able to engage a young audience who are resistant to lectures and government warnings. Targeted at a city with one of the worst youth accident rates in the country, we recruited drivers using phone messages and NFC sign ups, print, posters, outdoor, ambient, radio, YouTube videos, PR, and live activations at universities and surf festivals all directing people to sdrive.com.au to learn more about road safety and sign up for S-Drive. People were also encouraged to form Drive Teams with friends via Facebook or their phone
Our insight came from the fact that despite years of government scare tactics, inexperience, speed and the ever-increasing distraction of smartphones mean that 1 in 3 young Australian drivers still crash within their first year of driving, and 2 die on our roads every week. The objective of this campaign was to reach out to all young drivers in a new way and help reduce the number of road accidents for this demographic. As one of the largest manufacturers of smartphones, Samsung is in a perfect position to influence behaviour using smartphones themselves, beginning a new dialogue around road safety and, in the process, turning one of the biggest distractions on the road into a life saving tool. And so S-Drive was born a program that encourages and rewards safe driving with the smartphone at its core. In this way the media became part of our message.
