Nick Ball directed via production house Finch this anti-drunk driving PSA for the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) out of agency Clemenger BBDO Wellington.
Told through a montage of reckless memories, the PSA reminds you of what you miss out on if you drink and drive. Titled “The Legend,” the spot targets a demographic Down Under known as the provincial male whose diversions include motorbiking, mud wrestling and banger racing. If he drinks and drives, he stands the chance of no longer being active in those pursuits.
