The Robinsons Wicked drinks are headed to the UK market thanks to the brand's partnership with Universal Pictures that will provide consumers with a way to get excited for the upcoming release of the musical movie. The partnership will see the Double Concentrate range updated with two new flavors including Amazafying Citrus Twist and Outstandiful Berry that are inspired by the Elphaba and Glinda characters, respectively. The brand is also launching an on-pack promotion that will give consumers a chance to win some exclusive Wicked merchandise and the chance at a grand prize trip to New York.
Commercial Director at Britvic Ben Parker commented on the Robinsons Wicked drinks saying, "We know shoppers are increasingly on the hunt for bold new flavours to try and treat their families during key moments throughout the year, so partnering with Universal Pictures on the hotly anticipated Wicked film is the perfect way to shine a light on the segment ahead of key occasions such as Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas. Both the flavours and the on-pack promotion will ensure retailers are offering something for everyone. The campaign is set to appeal to our core Robinsons shoppers, alongside wider audiences through fans of the popular theatre show."
