Last but not least: buckle up

«Drivers who don't wear seat belts are usually young, immature, and inexperienced,» Leo Burnett Norway reasoned. "The movie 'Fast & Furious' is the perfect way to reach this target audience.".

The agency chose a special approach for its seatbelt campaign so as not to "confront young people in educational adult language" for once. It equipped all the seats in a movie theater with seat belts. During the opening credits of the movie "Fast & Furious", a red warning signal flashes and the audience is asked to fasten their seat belts. The movie will not start before then. The message, for once not in pedagogical adult language: you will only get what you want if you do what you are told.
