Solo shows how modern men get their thirst in new ‘Solo Men’ campaign via TBWA\Melbourne
Iconic Australian soft drink brand SOLO has launched its first brand campaign in two years. The campaign developed by TBWA\Melbourne and Carat, showcases how modern men get their thirst.
The much-loved Australian brand became famous for its 70s and 80s advertising where the now iconic SOLO Man tackled extreme activities in order to work up a sweat. Today’s work, ‘A Thirst Worthy Effort’, offers a new take on what it means to be a SOLO Man in 2018 – with men doing things like arc-welding costumes for a school play and constructing Swedish furniture.
Says Lisa Saunders, general manager of marketing, Schweppes: “Modern masculinity takes many shapes and forms, and our new SOLO Man exemplifies exactly that.”
The campaign, which features outdoor, print, and AV for online and social, will run for six weeks.

“AV for online and social”
Nice. I like the insight, and the execution is just the right kind of funny. Where the credits at?
I’d have been a lot happier if they’d bought back the originals.Great reworking of the old soundtrack but doesn’t work with the poncy images.
awesome reinvention of a classic – love it – could have had a bit more ‘spillage’ as he skulls dribbling down the chin.
Insight: Guys are now shit.
Re-branded for the cuck generation
Product is in perennial, mass decline. This will not save it.
Girly-Man.
What a travesty.
Completely misunderstands the heritage of the brand.
Portray a man a incompetent. Pushing the modern man agenda. Marketers now scared of genuine masculinity. Pathetic.
are you serious? this has got to be a piss take,
