Engine off every stop
Our campaign adverts featured on billboards, buses and petrol/diesel station pumps across London, on radio and online with the aim to encourage drivers to switch off when pulled over.

The issue
Engine Off Every Stop shows drivers that switching off your engine when pulled over is the easiest way to protect public health and make an immediate improvement to local air quality. We believe that if drivers were aware of the pollution created by idling and the dangers of that pollution, they would switch off.
The solution
We focussed on reaching as many drivers as possible across London through adverts featured on billboards, buses and petrol station pumps across London, on radio and online. The campaign images focus on making the invisible visible and highlighting the health impacts associated with air pollution.
The campaign ran for two bursts, in January 2025 and again in November 2025.
