The campaign's brief is to reduce illegal drug driving by targeting an audience of predominantly young men aged between 17 and 24 years old, and make them aware that the Scottish police now has the means to test for drug driving through a Field Impairment Test.

The campaign was directed by Mark Brozel through Rogue Films. It was written by Pete Bastiman and art directed by Steve Mawhinney.

Media planning and buying is through Feather Brooksbank.

Richard Marsham, a communications director at Faulds, said: "The style of the ad reflects a programme genre that a young male audience can relate to, and the research has shown that it is a credible way to communicate the message without appearing too patronising or authoritarian."
