WELLINGTON, Tuesday: The Wellington HQ of Aussie agency The Glue Society directed a new integrated campaign, devised by Sydney’s The Core Agency for a major new road safety drive in South Australia.
The Glue Society’s man on the job was Pete Baker – who recently set up the collective’s Wellington office. The advertiser is QBE Insurance, who aims to reducing the state’s road toll – the highest per capita in Australia.
The Core Agency developed an integrated suite of work aiming to tell the importance of road safety through a child’s voice. The creative idea was to place South Australian children at the heart of the campaign.
To bring the idea to life, The Core Agency reached out to a class of Adelaide school children, to not just appear in the creative, but also help make it. The video ad they created was then revealed to their parents at a special event at their school.
Within the creative, the children share their treasured moments captured in family photographs.
These photos then become a visual metaphor for cars – crashing into trees, lamp posts, and each other. Shot in super slow-motion, the visual is intended to show how much devastation a vehicle impact can have, in particular on the families involved.
