New Zealand Fire Service June 2016

Made from Remains

The brief: We're constantly bombarded with reports of house fires, yet New Zealanders still weren't installing or checking to see if their smoke alarms were actually working. 

​

The idea: We mixed ash from local house fires into the ink of newspapers across NZ, to bring to life the dangers of not having a working smoke alarm in an emotional way.

​

We then retargeted Kiwis online with messages to check or buy smoke alarms (through a partnership with retailer The Warehouse). Many retailers completely sold out of smoke alarms.
