Mother Energy Drink | Motherland | Australia

Coca-Cola has created a world without parental controls for its energy drink brand Mother in Australia.

Advertising agency Smart Sydney is behind this testosterone-filled commercial with over the top fire explosions. Targeting young males in Australia, the commercial has created a dangerous amusement park for big boys only.

Production company The Colony Sydney and director David Gaddie have brought on sizzling barbeques, shot guns and explosives. Shot partly in an old rail yard in Sydney and the Coney Island theme park in America, the brand probes people to ‘act before they think’.

Mother is an energy drink brand in the Australian and New Zealand markets since 2006.
