Highways England

Bikertek

Motorcyclists face a 63-times higher risk of being killed or seriously injured on the roads than car drivers. Highways England tasked us with creating and experience that encouraged motorcyclists to recognise the consequences of reckless riding. Making them consider their actions, causing them to ride with a safer mind-set. However, after years of patronising safety campaigns and being told to ‘kill your speed’, the message was falling on deaf ears. We needed an experience that offered motorcyclists more than an insightful reflection of driving dangerously. We needed them to see, feel and touch the reality of the danger.

 Partnering with Adam&EveDDB, we shocked bikers into cutting their speed with a pop-up motorcycle parts shop with a difference. Braving fun-filled gatherings, we lured riders into our shop. As they explored the parts, we revealed the truth. These weren’t for your bike. These were for the biker. To repair broken bones from motorcycle accidents.

BikerTek was named ‘Bravest Campaign’ at the Campaign Experience Awards, and was also recognised as best in class in the ‘Experiences for Good’ and ‘Outstanding Creative Idea’ categories. It was also awarded 2x Bronze Pencils at The One Show and shortlisted at Cannes Lions.
