Research notes
Knoxville, TN independent ad agency; included because it is the credited NHTSA traffic-safety agency. Credits checked 2026-10-22 against fetched pages: O'Dwyer's 2013 (Wayback), Tombras news page, iSpot, USAspending award records (API; recipient 'Charles Tombras Advertising, Inc.'). Corrected 2026-10-22: the separate 'Tsunami' entry was folded into Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over (iSpot shows it is a Drive Sober spot); Click It or Ticket topic changed to traffic-safety. Smaller NHTSA task orders also cover a speed social-norming campaign (2013-2018), distracted-driving demonstrations (2010-2013) and youth alcohol access projects.
