Why do young people binge drink? right of passage it s a part of growing up positive effects of alcohol seen as essential to a good night out drinking is ritualistic & part of belonging to a social group
What works and what doesn t tipping point between Male audience good & bad drunk and how this can ruin a night is a recognised truth (phase 1) concept of behaving in a way that they would never do sober strikes a chord (phase 2) x health risks of drinking not immediate to young people & are therefore rejected x criminal consequences not accepted as their problem, leads audience to switch off
Campaign strategy There is no problem It s not about me Don t tell me what to do A conversation which individuals don t want to have Break down the wall through Irrefutable conversations Would you do it sober? Female triggers Vulnerability and Shame Male triggers Aggression and Violence
Creative approach Reflecting own behaviour back to target audience Question and point out recognised truths, not lecture Tailored messages for men and women
Female personal safety messages We moved the print and radio on to focus specifically on female vulnerability when drunk New ads focus on the last mile home (from a drunken night out) Two new press ads New radio advert

We also turned the viral into a cinema advert as it was such a great asset and well received.
Cinema Following on from the success of the viral, decision taken to turn it into a 40 second cinema advert We bought 3.1 million admissions. Reasons we chose cinema were: Cinema has a high impact and captive audience It is a social environment which fits well with the viral content idea behind the campaign was to generate conversations and cinema is a media well suited to doing this. We feel the viral content has impact in the cinema. Cinema allows for efficient targeting

Communication to change behaviour Campaign Objective KPI Desired outcome Awareness, recall, media effectiveness measures Challenge acceptance and tolerance of drunken behaviour Highlight negative consequences of excessive drinking Shift social norms I don t have to get drunk to have a good night out I don t like socialising with people who get drunk and ruin night for others Acknowledgement of risks Too much drinking can lead to violence Too much drinking can lead to vulnerability Drunken behaviour becomes socially unacceptable More people enjoy drinking without getting drunk More people avoid risky drunken situations Peer groups encouraging safer drinking Motivate audience to reconsider their drinking behaviour Claimed behaviour More likely to consider drinking differently Makes me reconsider amount I drink on a night out Less irresponsible drinking Less alcohol-related crime, disorder and ASB (ultimate)
Evaluation of campaign Overall, the reach of the advertising was 96%, (Reach is the percentage of respondents who claim to have seen or heard at least one media.) 82% spontaneously aware of having seen or heard advertising about drinking and the effects of drinking too much in the last few months When prompted with the TV, 92% of respondents said they had seen it The main messages respondents took from the advertising were similar to those seen at the previous waves: Don t drink too much / drink responsibly, Know your limits / how much you can handle mentions of what too much alcohol can lead to. For the viral ad, the message of You do things when you are drunk that you would not do when you re sober came through strongly. For the radio and press ads there were also high mentions of Think about what you are doing/about your actions/take care of yourself.
