How We Started?
For this reason, it was decided to launch the “Conscious Farmer – Safe Agriculture Movement” with the aim of raising awareness among farmers and all tractor users about safe driving and creating a safe environment for all.
When Turkish Tractor officials contacted us to discuss the idea, we were excited not only to create content but also to contribute to social awareness and add value to the lives of our farmers. Our initial idea was to raise awareness among farmers through informative content on a digital education platform. Before that, however, we needed to launch an attention-grabbing campaign to make farmers aware of this need.
What We Did ?
To capture the attention of the target audience, the most successful film examples available were airline safety videos. When we examined the safety videos of various airlines around the world, it became clear how we would reflect the use of tractors and important points. The only difference between these videos shown after boarding an airplane and the videos we would prepare was that our videos had to be viewed before boarding a tractor. Therefore, before airing these videos, the project strategy and communication plan had to be carefully prepared.
We began the strategy development process by defining the production and operational elements. After clarifying the project duration and budget, the project plan was created based on the daily routine and seasonal needs of the farmers and translated into a schedule. For example, it was clear that farmers would not be interested in or able to participate in training during times when they were already very busy, such as during harvest and seeding. On the other hand, training near the summer months, when accidents increase, would produce quick results, at least in terms of preventing accidents in the current year.

Result
The first step of our Conscious Farmer – Safe Agriculture Movement, which began with the slogan “Accidents are not our destiny,” was a digital contest we organized on social media that ran for 9 weeks. In total, more than 11,500 people participated in this contest. Considering that 90% of the participants were tractor owners and 93% were licensed tractor users, we confirmed that we could reach the target audience through these channels. When 55% of the participants expressed a desire to undergo driver safety training, we took action and the second phase of the project began.
After talking to the target group about the language used in the informative videos, we received very interesting data: Farmers felt that the narrator should be a child. Following the motto “The kid does it!” they believed that a film with cute children would attract attention. This perception became a reality and led us to success. After we prepared the films with adult and young actors, they were aired on agriculture-oriented television channels and social media. As a result, more than 20,000 farmers participated in Conscious Farmer – Safe Agriculture Training through digital channels and in the field. According to 2018 data from TUIK, accident, and fatality rates were found to have significantly decreased in the regions where the training was conducted. We would be glad if we were able to make a contribution!
Finally, in 2018, we worked hard to prepare for the “Most Successful Koç Employees” competition among Koç Group companies, and our efforts paid off here as well. The Conscious Farmer – Safe Agriculture Movement took first place in the “Environment and Community Value Creators” category, proving its success not only in practice but also within the Koç Group.
