PROCESS RATIONALE
Sparkling water is the fastest growing beverage category. Despite an increase in consumers across all demographics, much of the content produced by the major brands aims for Gen Z-Millennial women, alienating many other potential consumers. Schweppes' aim is to appeal to a wider swath of consumers, primarily men, utilizing a sophisticated message and product expertise.
AUDIENCE
Established Millennials
KEY MESSAGE
Refined since 1783.
