Call Lanz for the BFU: Varnish needs enough distance
For the BFU, Ruf Lanz uses a (nail) paint analogy to visualize the benefit of having enough distance on the road.
The Swiss Federal Accident Prevention Bureau (BFU) conducts research and provides advice to reduce the number of serious accidents in Switzerland. It has had a public mandate for this task since 1938.
One of the BFU's core competencies is raising awareness for greater safety on the road. The latest appearance is a reminder to maintain sufficient distance in road traffic. Because this is crucial to avoid collisions and not to hit the vehicle in front.
The creatives at Ruf Lanz have found an analogy for this. Freshly painted toenails with the typical spacer between the toes bring the message pointedly to the point: varnish needs enough distance.
In the byline, there is an additional reminder of the "two-second rule of thumb", which is already learned in driving school. It states that the distance to the vehicle in front should be at least two seconds.
The eye-catching motif is currently being played out on various social media channels.
