Consumer State of Affairs
      Total daily intake of calories from beverages
      has increased 94% to approximately 222
      calories per day. The majority of Americans
      donʼt consume enough vitamins. Our diets
      are calorie rich and nutrient poor.

Category observations
     Low consumer awareness of vitamin erosion and
     potency loss in some EWBs
     Hydration and refreshment are primary influencers
     and motivators, same as tot. beverage
     Zero calories = diet; over-shadows vitamins
     VitaminWater franchise has created personas for
     vitamins, dumbing down health benefits
     Usage is lower, where will volume be earned?
Category implication
     Enhanced Water Beverages are becoming
     the cliche “zero” drink. Consumers are
     training themselves to feel better about
     their “healthier products” beverage choices
     instead of simply living healthier lives.

Consumer profile
     Adults ages 25-34 (Millennials) are thirsty for healthier
     lifestyles and mindsets. They see the potential in thinking of
     possibilities; creating solutions to problems that prohibit the
     everyday freedoms they seek for, and from, a healthier social
     and physical environment.
     Health and nutrition are the foundation of wellness. Millennial
     EWB drinkers want conscious beverages that offer good
     consequences through sustainable, active experiences.
Consumer insight
    Millennials need active, nourishing
    energy to turn on their world.
Consumer insight
    Whatʼs on on the inside? Millennial EWB drinkers seek
    to turn their bodies on to experience more fulfillment
    and enjoyment. Turning oneʼs body on is to wind it up,
    activate it, engage it, excite it, prime it, loosen it...itʼs
    idling and ready to go.
    Being on is to taste the moment. A positive, refreshing
    and balanced emotional space, with no beginning or
    end, where winning is not the primary benefit or motive.

                                       outreach
Radio Considerations
        Focus on best formats for our target and look for potential single
        owner group packages to drive efficiency

        Engineer turn-key added value promotions to put product in
        consumers hands

        Use station remote/street teams to distribute collateral in major
        neighborhoods and at events that cater to the On Demand audience
        (i.e. road races, health & wellness events)

        Gain entrance to major community events through station
        partnerships (i.e. Boston Marathon)

             Demand distribution and retail centers, city sports fields,
             gyms and heath/wellness centers to reach the right
             target, in the right place, at the right time

             Use large format, high impact out-of-home placements
             to showcase visual representation of the brand
Digital Considerations

streaming radio (i.e. Pandora)
