Write a short summary of what happens in the radio or audio execution or campaign.

Road Tales are location-based audiobooks that transform ordinary highways into magical tales. Volkswagen partnered with the CPNB (Dutch books authority) to develop 4 children’s stories. Each story is unique, as road objects like windmills, bridges and lakes become story elements. Parents can play the interactive stories through the car’s sound system and then put the phone away. The main goal of the app is to make children curious about looking outside again as they ride in the car, but also to give parents a good alternative for the use of screens. We worked with several illustrators and award-winning children’s book writers to make the experience feel both innovative ánd handcrafted. This way, we made sure the app felt more like magic than just a smart tech system: qualitative children's books, rather than just an ad campaign. And that's crucial if you want to grab kids’ undivided attention.
