Frankie
Thumbnail Creative Image This poster/print advertisement shows a man dressed as Frankenstein undergoing a sobriety test after being pulled over. The copy makes reference to the Frankenstein lore in stating that going to jail for a drunk driving offense is scarier than being chased by an angry mob. Placement of this creative would be most appropriate in restaurants, bars, retail establishments that sell alcohol and publications targeting adult males.

Monsters
Thumbnail Creative Image This poster/print advertisement shows a jell cell filled with stereotypical Halloween/Horror movie villains (Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula and the Werewolf). The copy and visual allude to drunk drivers being monsters which can be perceived as both a figurative and literal reference when coupled with the picture. Placement of this creative would be most appropriate in restaurants, bars, retail establishments that sell alcohol and publications targeting adult males.
Scariest Costume
Thumbnail Creative Image This poster/print advertisement shows a man, following a drunk driving conviction, wearing an orange vest and picking up trash on the side of the road. The verbiage on his vest reads “I am a drunk driver” and the headline states, “The scariest Halloween costume ever”. Placement of this creative would be most appropriate in restaurants, bars, retail establishments that sell alcohol and publications targeting adult males.

Social Norming

Pumpkin Coaster
Thumbnail Creative Image These coasters have been designed to make potential impaired drivers aware that they may have had too many drinks and feature a ring in the middle on which drinks are to be set. The copy tells viewers that if they are having trouble putting their drinks within the circle, they may be too impaired to drive. Distribution of these items is best suited for restaurants and bars, but could also be give-aways at retail establishments selling alcohol for home-based Halloween parties.
