Speeding tickets & children’s drawings
Everyone who gets a speeding ticket in the city of Antwerp receives a fine. And a real children's drawing, asking the offender to please lower speed in the city center.
The pupils of the schools in Antwerp made these drawings during the lessons road safety.
An original and personal note to get offenders back on track.

How trashcans become hot spots again
Sensitizing teenagers is a hard thing to do. Certainly when it's about throwing garbage in bins.
That's when we created special wifi poles and put them right next to garbage bins. They were strategically put all over Belgium in the neighbourhood of schools where a lot of youngsters just hang out.
Everyone close to the bins could enjoy free wifi. We also designed a multiplayer mobile game to engage them even more.
A fun and smart way to put garbage bins back in the center of attention.

A lost & found campaign against littering
Last year we launched a campaign to make littering history. This year we dramatized the proposition even more by stating that there is no such thing as litter, only lost items.
