Title: Drunk Driving Prevention


1
Drunk Driving Prevention Robin Mayer Kathy Crosby
2
Issue
  • Since 1983, the Drunk Driving Prevention campaign
    has received over 1 billion in donated media
  • Friends Dont Let Friends Drive Drunk became the
    mantra that changed the social norm
  • 68 of Americans exposed to the advertising have
    tried to prevent someone from driving drunk
  • From 1982 until 1999, the percentage of alcohol
    related fatalities steadily declined from 57 to
    38

3
Issue
  • In 2000 alcohol-related deaths increased,
    especially among moderately impaired young males,
    age 18-34

4
Issue
  • With young men being responsible for 60 of all
    alcohol-related crashes, a peer-to-peer
    intervener message was re-evaluated
  • A new plan to talk directly to the impaired
    drinker was developed

5
Campaign Objectives
  • Reframe what it means to be a drunk driver around
    the commonly-used term buzzed
  • Create the norm that driving buzzed" is
    dangerous
  • Inspire new avenues of dialogue for interveners
  • Motivate drivers to stop driving buzzed

6
Political Landscape - Sue
  • Any message that potentially interferes with the
    sale of a consumer product is problematic
  • The message is anti-drinking and driving, not
    anti-consumption
  • There is a very strong alcohol lobby with a
    vested interest in this issue
  • Alcohol manufactures, distributors, retailers,
    hospitality industry
  • Traffic safety advocates

7
Strategic Considerations - Sue
  • There is real ambiguity about being considered
    legally impaired at .08 blood alcohol content
  • How many drinks in how much time over the legal
    limit?
  • Its difficult to show visual impairment cues
    without crossing the line into falling-down
    drunk imagery
  • Alcohol itself is not the problem drinking too
    much and then driving is the issue
  • No one product or type of alcohol can be
    singled-out

8
Campaign Strategy
  • Target Audience
  • Young men, 18-34, who drink and drive, dont mean
    any harm, and dont consider themselves to be
    hazards on the road
  • Core Insight
  • Anti-drunk driving messages have been ineffective
    in changing their behavior because, in their
    minds, the messages are directed at drunk
    drivers not them
  • Because they arent drunk drivers, they have
    found ways to deflect well-meaning interveners

9
Campaign Strategy
  • Current Mindset Drunk Drivers Are Terrible
    People
  • Young men are quick to condemn drunk drivers but
    they view themselves as skilled drinking drivers
    and think nothing of getting behind the wheel
  • Im not drunkIm just buzzed
  • Im fine and can handle itIm not a drunk
    driver
  • Desired Mindset Its Dangerous To Drive Buzzed
  • There is no confusion about buzzed young men
    know what it is
  • Youve had just a few but dont think your
    drunk, yet youre potentially a danger on the
    road

10
Campaign Strategy
  • Key Message
  • Buzzed driving IS drunk driving
  • Reason Why
  • You dont realize that from the moment you begin
    drinking, your judgment becomes impaired
  • Its easy to tell when youve had way too many to
    drive, but even one drink can significantly slow
    reaction time and have serious consequences

    18-35
  • Among those who saw the PSAs, 22 said they
    spoke with loved ones about the message
  • Among those who saw the ads, 80 said they will

    the organization
