Evian mineral water was discovered near Lake Geneva in France in 1789. It has been bottled since the late 1800s and sold internationally since the early 1900s. Evian is owned by Danone and sells over 1.5 billion bottles annually in over 140 countries. The brand focuses on advertising its health benefits and original source through various campaigns, media, promotions, sponsorships, and ambassadors to reinforce its message as an everyday or occasion water.
