Episode 1
Description
AFTER ITS FIRST STEP ON MARS, SCHWEPPES MEETS THE MARTIAN CIVILIZATION.
The brand unveils two new episodes of the saga dedicated to the two new drinks Schweppes Agrumes and Schweppes Ginger Beer
In the second episode, Ava meets the Martians civilisation and introduces them to Schweppes Agrumes during the traditional exchange of offerings.
While the Martian ambassador brings to Ava what is the most precious on Mars, a drop of the "Gold of Mars", Ava offers him her most previous beverage: a bottle of Schweppes Agrumes, a subtle mix of four citrus flavors.
The third episode of the series dives us into the warmth of an intimate moment between our protagonists, their first date—as a reflection of the intensity of a Schweppes Ginger Beer with spicy flavors.
Through these films, Schweppes reminds us that even on Mars the best moments in life are meant to be savored—just as we savor the refreshing taste of a Schweppes Agrumes and the intensity of a Schweppes Ginger Beer.
A realisation still signed by filmmaker Susanna White and produced by Ridley Scott Associates, with an artistic direction led by Gladiator I & II DOP John Mathieson, Star Wars set designer Will Htay and Oscar-winner Janty Yates for the costumes (The Martian), contributing to the creation of an entire breathtaking Martian universe.
Schweppes is investing in both online and offline media : TV, video on demand, and cinema. Launch dates: March 23rd for Masterbrand, April 13th for Indian Tonic, April 15st for Schweppes Agrumes, 23rd June for Ginger Beer.
