Philosophy | Automobile clubs and insurance companies regularly advertise services, which are only valid in a damage events, whereas the German Automobilclub AvD (Automobilclub von Deutschland) focuses on prevention. The campaign features the corpus delicti without using conventional dramas or any strong moralizing undertone. |
Problem | In 2004 almost 6,000 people died in car accidents in road traffic in Germany. Chief cause are, besides excessive speed and inadequate distance, driving under the influence of alcohol. |
Result | The campaign was just aired in March 05, so no results are available. However, it got tremendous echo in the German press. |
