Execution

Five New Zealanders are lost on our roads every week. Their families don’t just lose a loved one. They lose a future. Using the science of forensic age progression, Weta digital created five portraits of five road victims as they would look today. New Zealand’s most-watched current affairs show covered the launch on prime time television, detailing the process and stories behind the portraits, as well as the heart breaking moments when the families saw their loved ones again. The story created a significant national response. Within 24 hours, it was picked up by NZs highest rated breakfast TV show, and largest online news portal. This unpaid media – which also included an article in New Zealand’s highest circulating Women’s magazine – complimented the press outdoor and online components of the campaign. In just 5 days, with marketing budget of less than $50,000, we reached every New Zealander 1.4 times showing a return on investment of 24:1.
