Britvic is launching a £3m Summer Campaign, ‘Sunshine Makes It Taste Better’ for the Ice Tea brand, Lipton, to help retailers capitalise on vital summer soft drink sales – a period when the category thrives.
The multi-platform campaign includes a new TV creative which will drive brand awareness and help keep the tasty and refreshing product front-of-mind for customers.
The Lipton portfolio is low in calories and falls below the sugar levy, with no artificial colours or preservatives, making it the perfect product for embracing the rising health trend amongst consumers.
Phil Sanders, GB At Home Commercial Director, at Britvic, says: “Given that every £7 in £10 spent on Ice Tea is spent on Lipton Ice Tea , we are confident we can command this space. The campaign is a celebration of the summertime, and encourages the nation to spend quality time with the perfect soft drinks partner, Lipton Ice Tea. “82% value comes through smaller, single serve formats (under 500ml) , making this a key part of the portfolio to get right, we advise grocery retailers to broaden their soft drinks offering and display this format front of store, making it easier for shoppers on-the-go. With five million ice tea shoppers in the UK and penetration at 10% , it’s a strong category to be a part of right now and we’re confident this will only continue.”
Lipton’s ‘Sunshine Makes It Taste Better’ campaign will run for a period of seven weeks, including five weeks on TV. The campaign will be supported by OOH, digital & social, sampling and in-outlet activity. The flavours available in the Lipton core range include Peach, Lemon, Mango and Raspberry.
