Chennai Traffic Police

Yamaraj, Drink and Get Driven

Agency: McCann

Description

By and large, Indians are a God-fearing and superstitious lot. Zara, a popular Tapas Bar in Chennai, in association with Chennai Traffic Police decided to address drunken driving (responsible for 70% of road fatalities in India), by leveraging this mindset. Yama, the God of Death from Hindu mythology was used to drive home the message, quietly arriving in the patron's car when the valet brought it back. Seeing the God of Death as a wake-up call, most patrons who experienced the live stunt opted to use the drivers-for-hire service.

This professional campaign titled 'Yamaraj, Drink and Get Driven' was published in India in December, 2012. It was created for the brand: Chennai Traffic Police, by ad agency: McCann. This Ambient medium campaign is related to the Alcoholic Drinks industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted about 11 years ago.
