Saatchi&Saatchi Sydney releases CAPI man into civilisation

Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney reveal the extreme lengths CAPI go to find the best ingredients for their 100% natural sparkling soft drinks. From Borneo to the Andes, no origin is too far-flung or hostile – which inspired Saatchi’s “Hard to make. Easy to drink.”campaign.

Directed by Steve Ayson, Saatchi & Saatchi set off on a CAPI like quest to find a character as random and unique as the CAPI ingredients. Eventually “CAPI man” was discovered somewhere in the jungles of South America.

Getting the character right was a lot of fun. He had to be the right balance of authenticity and idiocy. The guy we found brought a unique sense of both to the table.

The enigmatic jungle man is the star of the campaign, appearing in four commercials and interrupting unsuspecting hipsters to tell them just how dangerous producing a 100% natural drink can be.

The creative took risks and pushed boundaries and I’m blown away with the final product.
