The result? A campaign designed to save lives.

Challenge

How can we reach high-risk drivers & curb speeding fatalities?

To combat the rise in speeding-related fatalities in the US, KORTX and a government agency turned to innovative traffic safety marketing techniques to engage high-risk male drivers aged 18-44.

The objective was to reach and engage this demographic in regions with the most significant speeding issues, ensuring resources were directed where they would have the most impact.

Strategy

Data-driven traffic safety marketing where it matters most.

KORTX developed a targeted approach that went beyond the conventional practice of delivering ads to the largest states. Instead, KORTX Intelligence was leveraged to identify states with the highest incidence of speeding-related fatalities per capita, allowing for a campaign that prioritized impact over sheer reach.

This initiative required a creative approach to design traffic safety campaigns that resonated with a younger, high-risk demographic.

Key components included:

  • KORTX Intelligence for Audience Targeting: Utilizing KORTX Intelligence, the campaign pinpointed states with a high propensity for speeding incidents, enabling precise outreach to high-risk areas and maximizing resource allocation.
  • Dynamic Creative for Localized Messaging: The campaign used dynamic display and interactive video ads tailored to both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences across multiple regions. This localized messaging approach increased relevance and engagement, aligning the campaign with specific regional risks and language needs.

Success

Localized strategy delivers standout campaign performance

The campaign achieved impressive results, highlighting the effectiveness of KORTX’s targeted and innovative approach:
  • Enhanced Audience Engagement: Targeted outreach in high-risk areas led to engagement rates that surpassed industry benchmarks, ensuring the message resonated with high-risk drivers.
  • Effective Market Penetration: High video completion and click-through rates reflected the campaign's ability to capture attention in both English- and Spanish-speaking markets, maximizing the reach and relevance of the messaging.
  • Comprehensive Audience Insights: Leveraging dynamically optimized creative within the regional strategy approach, KORTX gained valuable insights into audience segmentation among males aged 18-44 in each location. This provided further insight into how the messaging resonated across key interests, including Pop Culture, Music, Gaming, and Sports.
