The Campaign
People die every day in traffic accidents caused by listening to music in both headphones. According to a study from Maryland University Massachusetts, the number has tripled in the last six years, a fact acknowledged also by Romanian Police. Radio 21 introduced GO MONO, a technology that enables listening to music on the streets in only one headphone.
Creative Execution
Radio 21 decided to become the first radio to GO MONO with a one speaker broadcast in prime time: the morning show & GO MONO jingles. For 4 hours we kept our listeners safe. Through this innovative radio technology, radio morning shows could be listened to in only one-ear, and, also, it was created the first song that can only be listened to in one headphone: that is reggae in the left headphone and electro in the right headphone.
GO MONO was supported by top Romanian and international artists that dared fans to listen to their songs in just one headphone. X-factor winner created the first song that can only be listened to MONO. GO MONO messages went viral in social media. We went MONO in print and in outdoor.
31 artists went MONO in Romania. Romanian Police reacted and joined the campaign. The campaign reached 3.5 million people and Radio 21 audience went up.
