Monster Energy Mango Loco Earns Nielsen's BASES Top 25 Breakthrough Innovation Award

CORONA, Calif., Oct. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Monster Energy earned BASES Top 25 Breakthrough Innovation honors for the launch of Juice Monster Mango Loco. The award is given to brands and products that succeeded in making meaningful connections with consumers, an impressive feat within an increasingly crowded marketplace. Beyond BASES requirements for products that reflect strong, distinct qualities such as mass potential, longevity, brand incrementality, category distinction or appeal toward a specific consumer target, this year's list includes all six of Nielsen BASES' activation profiles.

"Monster Energy is proud to be recognized as one of BASES' top CPG innovators leading the beverage industry," said Monster Energy's CMO Dan McHugh. "Mango Loco is one of many innovations in our Monster Energy family. With our unique energy blend and diverse consumer base, we are always offering new ways for consumers to enjoy Monster."

Launched in October of 2019, Mango Loco is reminiscent of "Dia De Los Muertos" – a Mexican holiday celebrating heritage and family with marigolds, mysticism, memories, and food & drink to entice the departed to join the festivities with the living. Celebrating this special occasion, Monster Energy's Mango Loco keeps the party going with its heavenly blend of tropical flavors.

Mango Loco is part of Monster Energy's elevated Juice line made with real juice and Monster's unique energy blend for a vibrant energy boost packed with flavor. The Juice Monster portfolio includes an array of elevated juice blends including Pacific Punch, Pipeline Punch and more unique blends coming soon.

Mango Loco is available at convenience and grocery stores nationwide. To learn more about the Juice Monster portfolio and all of Monster Energy's product offerings, visit monsterenergy.com.
