"The Super Bowl is a proven venue for SodaStream to deliver our beverage revolution message to over 100 million viewers, empowering consumers to enjoy a smarter, "better-for-you" alternative to packaged soda," said Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of SodaStream. "The soda industry is dated and ripe for disruption. Our strong growth demonstrates that SodaStream is blazing the trail to a future where it will be mainstream for people to easily make fresh, delicious soda at home, no longer needing to lug bottles and cans of soda that can be unhealthy, often go flat, and generate billions of tons of garbage."
SodaStream allows consumers to create a broad range of carbonated drinks including classic sodas like cola, orange, lemon-lime and root beer, as well as seltzer, fruity and natural fizzy drinks, zero calorie flavored waters, and even energy drinks and cocktail mixers – all in an environmentally responsible way by virtually eliminating the need for single-use plastic bottles and aluminum cans. More than 100 different flavors are available, including favorites from iconic partner brands including Kool-Aid®, Country Time® and Crystal Light® from Kraft, as well as Ocean Spray® and others.
"SodaStream has opened a world of beverage freedom, choice and control, and consumers can now explore a boundless set of options to customize their favorite carbonated drinks," said Gerard Meyer, President of SodaStream USA. He continued, "Last year our Super Bowl investment strengthened our retail relationships and raised our brand profile, yielding higher consumer awareness and resulting in excellent sales growth. This year we will again create an unforgettable viewer experience and an integrated marketing campaign across all media channels and point-of-sale activations in order to amplify the investment for maximum impact."
SodaStream worked with The Cross Agency, the media Agency of Record for SodaStream USA, to secure this prestigious spot during the Super Bowl broadcast. "Our team values our partnership with SodaStream and we are delighted to have worked hard to achieve this pinnacle of primetime exposure on their behalf for a second consecutive year," said Todd Taylor, President of The Cross Agency.
Super Bowl XLVIII will air nationally on FOX on February 2, 2014 from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The SodaStream ad is scheduled to appear during the fourth quarter of the game.
