Jack Link’s is positioning itself as the more natural way to snack in a campaign via Special and Hatched. 

“Lions wade through desert heat for hours just to get their incisors into some wildebeest. Imagine what they’d do for 100% grass-fed beef,” said Special creative director, Joe Ranallo. 

This is the brand’s first fully integrated campaign since launching in Australia and New Zealand 20 years ago, launching across TV, BVOD, Radio, OOH and Social. 

“Bears look cuddly. But what most people don’t realise is that, given the chance, they would betray you and your family for 50g of high protein, grass-fed beef,” said Special creative director Will Winter-Irving. 

No animals were harmed in the making of this campaign. 

“If tigers had disposable income, they would clean us out. Sadly, they don’t, so we’re sharing Jack Link's with a new generation of humans instead,” said Jack Link’s APAC marketing director, Dan Bitti. 

“People are seeking better snack choices, and the message is simple: Jack Link’s beef jerky is delicious, and naturally high in protein, made with 100% grass-fed beef. We’re delivering that message in the bold, unmistakable Jack Link’s way to stand out and drive real interest in the category."
