Schweppes’ new campaign for its mineral water range involves a ‘Fancy Food Fight’ that sees three-hatted chef Martin Benn, of Sydney’s Sepia restaurant, help create Australia’s first ever fine-dining food fight.

Schweppes group marketing manager, Ben Goss says, “Our ads have always had a sense of grown-up fun, but this year we wanted to create an event where people could experience it for themselves.”

In the lead up to the food fight, a series of online teasers were released showing Martin Benn and his team experimenting and testing various dishes as they worked to create a menu designed specifically to be thrown. Other than tasting great and matching with the Mineral Water flavours, the dishes were also judged on their range, accuracy, fire rate and ‘splat-ability’.

Evan Roberts, GPY&R Melbourne creative director, commented on the campaign “It was important for us to not only create an event that people would enjoy, but also produce a piece of film that was a notch above the usual documentary style. Hats off to Will O’Rourke and Glue, they’ve really raised the bar with this one.”
