Volvo Cars
September 2nd

Feeling safe in a day of uncertainty

Campaign for a slower first day of school. Volvo's symbol of safety was a simple message: drive carefully on 2 September, even if it means arriving at work later. It ran for 17 days and involved 70 companies from all over the Czech Republic. Including rival KIA.

The aim was
publicity

Volvo's positioning is clear. The brand is established in the family car segment. As an international lovebrand, it is seen and heard. As a symbol of safety, it speaks to drivers from a position of authority. When it needed to come up with a brand awareness campaign, we decided to let the fellow passengers - the children - do the talking.

The topic was accident rates

According to statistics, September is a risky month in terms of accidents. The most serious ones occur on Mondays between 7 and 8am. The situation is not helped by nervous parents taking their children to school while rushing to work. We thought: what if they could arrive later? Let's appeal not only to the drivers, but also to the companies that contribute to their stress.

As we
proceeded

  1. We filmed a spot with children on the topic of driving in a car, prepared VOLVOmluvenky with them and a radio spot that always ran from 7am to 9am, i.e. at risk time.
  2. We launched
    a website www.2zari.cz.
  3. We have prepared a 360° communication linking to the website. On social media we grouped it under the hashtag #pocitbezpecivdennejistoty.
  4. On behalf of Volvo, we reached out to leading Czech companies to apologize to their employees for arriving late on September 2nd.
