Set to debut at the end of February, Lucozade Sport Blue Force, Lucozade Energy Blue Burst, and Lucozade Alert Blue Rush will expand the existing Lucozade range to appeal to fans of the functional beverage.
This launch, known as Blucozade, represents a milestone as it brings together Lucozade's diverse offerings across function, flavor, and format in a singular campaign. By introducing new beverages that cater to varying consumer preferences and needs, Lucozade aims to strengthen its position in the market and enhance brand recognition.
"Uniting our Sport, Energy and Alert brands together for the first time ever is a huge step change in the way we market Lucozade, with even more to come this year. With its three different flavour profiles, we know Blucozade will appeal to different shoppers and have a big contribution to the continued success of the Lucozade brand," said Elise Seibold, marketing director at Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I.
