Hydration products, including beverages and supplements, are synonymous with sports but Liquid I.V. is investing multi-millions in marketing with the aim of getting consumers to see its products as everyday essentials. The Fuel Your Play campaign is not targeted at athletes but the everyday individual who would benefit from enhanced hydration. Once mixed with water, Liquid I.V. products boost hydration and provide other benefits.
With its new marketing initiative, the brand sets itself apart from others that create hydration products expressly with a focus on active individuals. Stacey Andrade, VP of marketing at Liquid I.V. told Adweek, "Now, more than ever, there’s been this return to playful activities and hobbies that all require hydration." Since play and hydration is for everyone, the health and wellness brand is getting this message out to everyone with influencer marketing, out-of-home ads, sampling opportunities and playful activations.
