A social media public service announcement, just like any other PSA needs at least these things:

1) A key message

2) An authority on the message

3) A cause and effect

Toronto Traffic Services posted this PSA on YouTube that features WineLibrary.com owner and social media advocate Gary Veynerchuk. A video like this could be recorded and posted with a smartphone in minutes. Then it can be posted and shared.
