Brief Explanation
People are generally immune to public safety messages. So how can Yasa, an NGO for road safety, and touch, Lebanon’s leading mobile operator, effectively send a serious message such as “DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE” to an unconcerned audience?
By creating entertaining content based on the scientific fact: “MULTITASKING IS A MYTH”. We produced A LIVE GAME SHOW called TEXT IF YOU CAN and developed 8 episodes that proved when you text, you can’t focus on anything else. 8 celebrities from different fields where invited to text and do what they do best…If they stopped either task…they lost. Using gaming lingo we compared the dangers of the roads with 3 lives…of course, they all failed. And at the end of every episode, each celebrity related back their failure to the dangers of texting and driving in a personal message to their fans.
The following episode features Popular Lebanese News Anchor: Esperence Ghanem
