Challenge
Regarding the nature of it’s products, this brand has had a continual look to the desert geographical area. On the other hand, due to the moral promise to the social responsibility topic, it has been looking forward to amplify it’s brand’s position in this medium. The challenge for this brand was to find an advertising activity in the field of social responsibility.
Solution
Badkoobeh Advertising Agency focused on the considerable records of road accidents involving vehicles and desert animals like camels. Due to the lack of sufficient light in desert’s night, crashes involving drivers and desert animals, camel in particular, is a recurring phenomenon in desert areas. An issue that has a worrying pace and has reached a critical state. On this basis, the idea of glow in the dark warning ribbons in order to protect camels was conceived in Badkoobeh Advertising Agency. These ribbons are tied to the camels’ necks or ankles and warns the drivers using its’ glow in the dark.
Activities
After this idea was approved by Kavir Tire, producing and sending the glow in the dark ribbons to park rangers of the area was put in the work schedule. The park rangers tie these ribbons to camels’ necks and ankles according to this program.
In a symbolic act, Kavir Tire revealed this activity on the Clean Earth’s Day in the National Environment Preservation Organization.
