Started by Melbourne Metro as a Public Safety Announcement, Dumb Ways To Die has generated over 150 million views and won over 20 awards. It is claimed that the campaign helped in 20% reduction in the railway accidents. The campaign is being used by various countries and has now turned into a video game. The campaign was created by McCann Melbourne 5 years ago and still remains one of the most viral ad campaigns.
