Zak Emerson’s latest Road Safety campaign is a chilling and powerful portrayal of the consequences of drink driving. Awarded a well-deserved 5 stars by David Reviews, the film - created by Butter and Forsman & Bodenfors Dublin - delivers a sobering reminder of the dangers of peer pressure behind the wheel.

Big cheers to our good friends Dave Newbold, Paul Hancock and Chris Ringsell whose Women’s Aid script has been shortlisted for a Cannes Lion!! We’re buzzing with pride here at Merman to have worked on such a meaningful and important project alongside House 337 and Passion Pictures. It wouldn’t have been achievable without such powerful storytelling at its core.
