ALMOST A FIFTH OF DRIVERS HAVE DRIVEN THE MORNING AFTER A NIGHT OF FESTIVITIES PERNOD RICARD UK MARKETING CAMPAIGN WILL WARN AGAINST DRINK DRIVING IN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION Although half of drivers (54%) try to avoid drink driving by agreeing a designated driver before an event, almost a fifth (19%) have driven the morning after a night of heavy drinking, even when they think they could have been over the limit, according to an Automobile Association (AA) survey*.
To help provide guidance for drivers about these dangers, this year’s Christmas anti-drink driving campaign from Pernod Ricard UK and the AA will be fronted by a brand from the premium spirit company’s portfolio for the first time ever; Jameson Irish Whiskey. The decision was made in order to effectively target the Jameson brand’s young adult audience, by delivering the serious nature of the message in a visually engaging way.
