Speed Campaign

For many men ages 20–49, speeding isn’t about getting somewhere faster—it’s about the thrill. They see it as “winning,” which made traditional messages about injury or death fall flat.

built around a simple truth: speeding is a game you can’t win. We combined the look of blockbuster racing video games with live-action footage, complete with a picture-in-picture narrator giving a play-by-play. Each spot was customized with real local roads and highlighted consequences that mattered to this audience—lost time, money, and control.
