Changing People's Behaviour for Better

[fa icon="calendar"] 17-Aug-2012 11:19:00 / by Iliyana Stareva

I often come across brilliantly creative ideas and today I decided to share with you another great campaign that managed to change people’s behavior in a fun, new and unexpected way.

The Fun Theory, an initiative of Volkswagen, performed an impressive experiment to find out if people would choose the stairs over the escalator if there were a fun way of doing so. They succeeded. And they made people laugh.

What’s astonishing is that even after 3 years people are still talking about the campaign (I saw it in a tweet last week) and are commenting daily on YouTube, where it has ca. 18 million views. This only proves what an impact it has.

Enjoy the video! 

 

Why do I love it?

  • It’s clever and innovative.
  • It’s simple because people love music.
  • It’s exciting and engaging.
  • It’s effective as it has an impact on people’s behavior.
  • It's worth it. 
  • It’s fun and cool.
