In 2015, we launched the W8_2send campaign with Vodacom in South-Africa to discourage texting while driving. The wide-reaching campaign uses mobile communications, social media, radio ads, and billboards. Also, drivers wear W8_2send bands on their thumbs as a visible reminder to not text and drive.
