Erdinger Alkoholfrei launches promo to support sporting rituals campaign

Erdinger Alkoholfrei launches promo to support sporting rituals campaign

The Erdinger Alkoholfrei campaign focuses on the rituals that people observe before and after sport, with consumer activation supported by a neck-collar promotion to enable retailers to drive sales during the promotional period. The launch of the campaign follows the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on 14th May, for which ERDINGER Alkoholfrei was a proud sponsor, with the promotional bottles going into trade next month.

“The Erdinger Alkoholfrei team noticed that whenever you do something regularly you get into certain habits, which we see even more so at the active tour events that we support," said Peter Gowans, Erdinger UK Country Manager. "Preparation for leisure or competitive sport takes on additional importance, as getting things right can put you in the best frame of mind or even give you a competitive edge. But whilst there are many rituals before sport – kissing a lucky charm, putting kit on in a particular order, listening to favourite music and so on – there really is only one ritual after sport.


“Thousands of professional and amateur athletes reach for a drink of Erdinger Alkoholfrei, the sporty thirst quencher, after they complete their competition event or training programme. Erdinger Alkoholfrei’s isotonic properties help to replace lost fluids quickly and it also contains valuable nutrients including the essential vitamins folic acid (B9) and B12, which help reduce tiredness and contribute to the normal function of the immune system.”

Originally launched in Germany, "Your Ritual After Sport" has struck a chord with professional athletes and enthusiastic leisure sports participants alike. It profiles the many rituals people have before taking part in sport and celebrates post exercise relaxation with an ERDINGER Alkoholfrei, your ritual after sport.

“As a healthy and active lifestyle becomes more commonplace the habits that people acquire in their leisure time and sporting activity are increasingly integrated into their everyday life,” said Gowans, “and drinking a refreshing Erdinger Alkoholfrei is transferring to many wider occasions with purchase to drink at home. This has contributed to Erdinger Alkoholfrei becoming the #1 single-bottle non-alcoholic beverage.

“With Erdinger Alkoholfrei recognised as ‘your ritual after sport’ we are now asking consumers to think about their rituals before sport and share their images with us on social media. The neck collars will be displayed on 500ml bottles of Erdinger Alkoholfrei due to go into trade at the end of June to raise awareness of the campaign and help drive rate of sale by encouraging drinkers to get involved. Customers simply scan a QR code on the collars which links to the entry mechanics offering the chance to win a selection of sporting equipment including Ribble Gravel bikes, Garmin watches and sport sunglasses.”

Jameson teams up with Admiral, for a tracksuit modelled by Kyle Jameson

Irish Whiskey brand Jameson has been the English Football League's (EFL) main spirits sponsor for two seasons and is deeply entrenched in all aspects of the league, including player sponsorships. It has now signed up with Admiral to celebrate both brands' association with the beautiful game. They have worked closely together to create a full retro-inspired tracksuit in Jameson’s signature green, featuring key elements from Admiral’s world-famous designs for team performance wear, to create a slouchy royal green trackie ready prepped for pubs, presents, party games and freezing cold five-a-sides this Christmas.

Jameson shares a history rich with the beautiful game, so teaming up with an iconic heritage brand like Admiral felt like a natural fit, with the results speaking for themselves,” said Josh McCarthy, Brand Director for Pernod Ricard UK. “A classic tracksuit, from two classic brands, to look sharp after the match when buying your mates a round of Jameson, Ginger and Lime. Nostalgia is everywhere at the moment and growing up in Leicester, there was no shortage of Admiral tops in the park and at the local football clubs.”
