Zero Excuses for New POWERADE ZERO Campaign
05-02-2013
5 February 2013 - Recognising one of the major barriers to exercise, POWERADE ZERO has launched a new campaign for 2013: 'Zero Sugar. Zero Excuses'; to inspire Aussies to stay true to their fitness goals.
The campaign will target active Australians, with channel specific motivators to overcome the urge to make excuses not to workout.
"From hitting the snooze button on the alarm to swapping out the gym for after-work drinks, we are all guilty of making excuses not to workout," said Alex Pettigrew, POWERADE Marketing Manager. "Zero Sugar, Zero Excuses, is all about empowering Aussies to stay committed to their fitness goals and keep their eyes on the prize."
The campaign will be rolled out through multiple campaign touch points including out-of-home (OOH), digital, mobile and social media. Executions will build on the insight that all Australians face a motivational challenge overcoming barriers to exercise such as:
- 'Hot? Cold? The weather's not an excuse' - Weather related mobile 'excuse' pop ups will feature smartphone calendar integration to allow users to cement a date to get fit
- 'Rise above the snooze button' - Time of day related placements at points-of-sweat in gyms and on-the-go locations including bus shelters, bus mega wraps and convenience stores
Zero Sugar, Zero Excuses is the first push for POWERADE ZERO since its introduction locally in April 2012.
"In less than 12 months, POWERADE ZERO has captured 3.4%i volume share of grocery in the sports drink category and has already captured over 5%ii of overall POWERADE Sales.
The success of POWERADE ZERO highlights the strong demand from Australian consumers to have a sugar-free sports drink option when they work out" continued Pettigrew.
