Better Roads
Driving Home the Message
Pumping Up Voters
In Nebraska, the gas tax funds road maintenance and upkeep, ensuring a safe driving experience for everyone. Should a ballot initiative attempt to remove it, Better Roads Nebraska – a social media advocacy effort by Associated General Contractors (AGC) Nebraska Chapter – wanted a campaign that could educate and mobilize voters if needed.
AGC asked KidGlov for a campaign that would reach as many Nebraska drivers as possible, within a small budget, to educate them on the value of the gas tax. The answer was clear: social media was the ideal educational tool for the campaign, owing to its low-cost, high efficiency ability to target local voters.
