Fresh Up | Thirst is Creepy | New Zealand

Frucor, an Australasian beverage company based in New Zealand, pairs thirst with creepiness in an awkward 'Thirst is creepy' campaign for fruit juice brand Fresh Up.

People are not prepared to put up with parched lips and cotton mouth any more. The ‘Masseuse’ commercial is the first in the up-coming series by agency Colenso BBDO Auckland. The entire campaign is tied together with an equally tense atmosphere, but guarantees a laugh coupled with slight goosebumps in the end.

Fresh Up illustrates the first signs of thirst, with one of the earliest symptoms being the ‘creepy mouth’. People can visit the Facebook page for ‘Thirst is creepy’ to be a fan, share their own thirsty looks and keep up-to-date on the progress of the campaign.
