Yes, this spot from Paris agency La Chose is tres French–but its message is clear enough.
Created for drunk driving advocacy group Victimes et Citoyens, the spot recounts an all-too-familiar narrative with the help of an audio track and some dramatic use of the zoom lens.
The firm’s PR team also came up with unusual ways to promote it.
In addition to mailing 300 copies of the vinyl record itself to journalists (URL engraved on its cover), they’ve set up a contest asking Instagrammers to document their “well-hidden car key[s]” and enter to win a Spotify account. Par example:
Agency founder Pascale Gregoire writes:
“It’s always the same old song when we come to this topic. Instead of shocking the concerned audience, our wish was to deliver an adapted message which would be shared and understood.”
Très intéressant.
