It reads “In the management of ADHD, reveal his potential”.…

    Personally, I think this campaign nailed it when it comes down to advertising the situation of drunk driving and was very successful. Mothers Against Drunk Driving used a different approach towards the topic than most other advertisements do which I believe is one of the reasons this ad is so effective. It not only tells about the harms of drunk driving, but it physically shows the situation that could change your life around if you are involved in it. The advertisements use of pathos makes it emotional for not only those who actually partake in drunk driving, but even the people who are just using the road. It uses a very logical fact to engage the audience of the time frame it takes to be struck by a drunk driver.…
