The Brief

Ahead of the campaign launch, we conducted a survey examining public attitudes to water safety. It stated that nearly half of Swedish men think it’s OK to drink alcohol in connection to a summer swim. One of ten Swedes have been out swimming or bathing thoroughly drunk at least once during the last two years, and one of five admit to doing so after consuming ”a little bit” of alcohol. The natural goal for the campaign was therefore to save lives. We also had awareness goals: • Raise awareness in traditional and social media: 100 articles • Video views: 100,000

Campaign Success

We launched the campaign a week prior to midsummer, a holiday closely connected to both drinking and swimming. On a microsite we presented the film along with facts and statistics for individuals, businesses and NGO's to find information about the issue. National and international media, opinion leaders and potential partners received information about the campaign. Social media was used as a tool to spread the film both organically and through sponsored ads. Beer and wine producers put the Don’t Drink & Dive label on their bottles - restaurants joined too and more stakeholders followed. The campaign ran for two weeks but it was prolonged organically by shares and media picking up the campaign all over the world.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

Output/Awareness: The topic became of global interest. Over 300 articles in more than 25 countries covered the story, resulting in a total reach of 250 million. Knowledge/Consideration: During midsummer week, it was one of Sweden’s most viewed videos, with over 1.1 million views to date. People all over the country pledged not to drink and dive through a successful Thunderclap. Action/Business Impact: In a follow-up survey after the finish of the campaign, 1 in 5 Swedes stated they’d seen or heard about DD&D and among the people who had seen the film it is more common to state that no alcohol is ok to consume before a summer swim (53 %).The general secretary of the Swedish Life Saving Society declared that the initiative could save lives. It most probably did. During the campaign period the number of drowned men decreased by 39 %.
