New Mexico Agency RK Venture Asks, “What’s The Worst That Can Happen?” In Latest Driver Safety Campaign for NM Department of Transportation
Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) July 15, 2015 -- Albuquerque advertising agency RK Venture has created a hard-hitting public awareness campaign for the New Mexico Department of Transportation, urging drivers to use common sense when taking to the streets in their vehicles this summer. Titled “What’s The Worst That Can Happen?," the campaign consists of three spots directed by acclaimed visual effects artist Sean Broughton, each a graphic depiction of what results when drivers shirk the responsibility that comes with getting behind the wheel. Launched via a press conference with New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, the highway safety campaign is running statewide in English and Spanish through September, as part of the state’s 100 Days and Nights of Summer enforcement program.
“We wanted the ‘What’s The Worst That Can Happen?’ campaign to reflect the reality of just how deadly impaired and distracted driving is,” said Richard Kuhn, executive director of RK Venture. “We’ve worked with Sean Broughton on several award-winning projects, and knew that his expertise with visual effects, not to mention that fact that he has collaborated with Stanley Kubrick, Spike Lee and other renowned filmmakers, would result in spots that would startle with their realism, and thus, instigate behavioral changes among drivers. We, and more importantly our client, couldn’t be more pleased with what Sean delivered.”
