In early 2018, the AMP Boston Media strategy, buying and planning team was tasked with planning and executing Spindrift’s first national, multimillion dollar campaign with the goal of increasing overall recognition of the brand. In a sea of clear “natural flavors”, Spindrift is the first and only sparkling water in America to be made with real squeezed fruit. I mean, when was the last time you saw a clear raspberry?! On top of that, the fruit used in Spindrift is sourced from local farms and made in small batches so it’s a drink that you can truly feel good about. Flavors include Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange Mango, Strawberry, Blackberry, Raspberry Lime, Cucumber as well as two newer flavors, Cranberry Raspberry and Half & Half. Yum!   The goal of the campaign was to target both male and female sparkling water drinkers and educate them on Spindrift’s real ingredient difference. The media strategy approach was rooted in strong preliminary audience research, determining the best mix of digital and traditional channels to reach this target. The media team did a deep dive into not only the audience’s media habits but also their attitudes toward things like grocery shopping, health and wellness, and overall lifestyle choices. Giving the Spindrift consumer a personality helped us envision where they were on a day to day basis and how they consume media, resulting in a strong, strategically rooted media plan designed to drive business results.   The campaign is a multi-channel approach, which launched first w ith search, social and programmatic display in May and then expanded to Print, OOH and Digital Content partnerships in June and July. The campaign will run for the remainder of 2018, with the majority of the spend condensed in the summer months. OOH units are focused on five key markets – Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Chicago. The creative, led by Mistress Agency out of LA, highlights the simplicity of the ingredients in Spindrift and the tag line “yup, that’s it”. Recently, Kristen Bell was tapped to promote Spindrift through a series of videos that are currently being promoted through programmatic, YouTube, paid social and our direct content partnerships. When Kristen is a superfan of the brand, you know it must be good!  Check out the following coverage to learn more about the campaign:   https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/322201/spindrift-launches-first-national-ad-campaign.html   http://www.thedrum.com/news/2018/07/11/superfan-kristen-bell-touts-spindrift-sparkling-waters-first-national-campaign   https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/spindrift-sparkling-water-taps-kristen-bell-to-launch-first-national-campaign-300678950.html   https://marketingindustrynews.com/2018/07/11/superfan-kristen-bell-touts-spindrift-sparkling-waters-in-first-national-campaign/   Happy reading and grab yourself a delicious Spindrift – real squeezed fruit and sparkling water, yup that’s it!
