Our solution

Our Solution

We introduced Mono, a government brand aimed at establishing a new social norm - Go Mono. Mono means one, doing one thing: driving or biking instead of using your phone. Our campaign turned distracted driving into a collective responsibility, showing that everyone can make a difference by not messaging someone whom you know is on the road.
