Molson Responsible Use

Most Canadians would agree that drinking and driving is pretty stupid. Yet large numbers of us continue to do it. Molson asked TAXI to develop a campaign that would challenge this behaviour. The classic formula for responsible-use advertising appeals to our social conscience. These ads typically show the devastation that drunk drivers inflict on the innocent. But TAXI recommended a very different approach. Instead of showing the accident aftermath, our creative idea uses dark humour, showing people planning ahead for the consequences of drinking and driving.
