Write a short summary of what happens in the ambient or digital execution or campaign.

With the help of digital map services, we pinpointed locations all over Finland that have utilised repurposed tires as tire swings, boat fenders, art pieces and other applications. Our message was simple: worn tires should be used anywhere else but on the road. We placed small tags informing bypassers about the facts of tire condition around the specific area and the safety risks they present. The chosen locations were in cities with SnapSkan devices placed close by. All placements were urban locations with high levels of traffic that provided a great way to stand out from the mass organically and catch the audience’s attention.

Cultural/Context information for the jury

With four distinct seasons in Finland, it is essential that drivers take care that their tires are in proper shape for all weather conditions. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and multiple accidents happen every year with unsafe tires playing a key role. Research shows that many accidents could be prevented if the tires involved would be in a more suitable condition for the erratic Finnish weather and varying road conditions. We decided to show drivers a safe way to use worn tyres with existing recycling methods, such as classic tyre swings, boat fenders, art pieces and many other applications abundant across Finland.
