NSW drivers to ‘think twice’ in new campaign ahead of October long weekend via O&M, Sydney
NSW drivers are being urged to ‘think twice’ about breaking road rules or face double the consequences over the October long weekend, in a new integrated campaign developed by Ogilvy & Mather Sydney.
Aimed at reinforcing the consequence of double demerits over peak driving periods, the campaign’s creative idea dramatises the concept of ‘think twice’ by showing the driver being stopped and questioned by two identical policemen. This gives visual impact and emphasis to the core message of ‘double the consequences’.
Says Nathan Quailey, general manager, Ogilvy & Mather Sydney: “This campaign is all about reminding people about what will happen if they do the wrong thing on the road.
“It gives NSW drivers a strong and immediate reason to think twice about dangerous driving like speeding and not wearing a seatbelt.”
The campaign was developed by Ogilvy & Mather Sydney for Transport for NSW. Launching on 28th September, the campaign will be visible across NSW through metro and regional TV, radio and digital display banners. Additionally, TV and radio commercials have been produced in Arabic, Cantonese, Vietnamese and Mandarin for airing on non-English media stations.

Great looking car.
Compelling, important message squandered on a cheap, self-indulgent gag.
Bill Hicks was right.
If you’re going to have twin cops, you should at least choose hot ones.
Sorry but JWT is KILLING it with the One Punch Ad…
Nice simple idea, well done girls.

Double dipping demerits for Ogilvy agency producers and Ogilvy’s in-house production company 120 Productions. An idea that suffers from pure revenue raising, by the agency – not the cops.
Simple and memorable
this is clearly the creative team’s fantasy of 1 hot cop duplicating himself, but i quite like it.
from i creative perspective obviously…
@ Slugged Twice. The agency producers have no choice…..they are just the poor suckers that have to face the clients.
shouldn’t there have been two cop cars as well?
