Old Jamaica brings The Sunshine Vibe this summer

Old Jamaica brings The Sunshine Vibe this summer

Old Jamaica is bringing the Sunshine Vibe and carnival spirit to TV screens this week following a £1.5 million pound investment in a brand-new campaign "Get The Sunshine Vibe".

The campaign kicks off this weekend on Channel 4, culminating in the August Bank Holiday, and also takes in the All4 platform, E4, 4OD, Film4 and More4, as well as social and digital activity. The campaign celebrates bringing the feel-good attitude and carnival vibe of Jamaica to streets and towns all over the UK.


Refresco UK, the bottler and distributor of the brand, has invested in Old Jamaica’s biggest-ever consumer campaign to further strengthen its position as the UK’s No. 1 Ginger Beer, and is supporting the attention-grabbing ad with a raft of shopper, trade and experiential activations.

The feel-good campaign celebrates and features four original and unique characters – Sunshine Man, Sunshine Gran, Sunshine Dan and Sunshine Leeann.

“We’re excited to be bringing The Sunshine Vibe to the UK this summer with our really memorable campaign and we can’t wait to see people’s wider reaction to it," said Old Jamaica’s Terri Cooper.

“Expect to see us popping up during shows like Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch and A Place In The Sun, plus bringing some extra feel-good to E4 breaks during The Big Bang Theory and Gogglebox. We forecast the ad will be seen over 28 million times by an audience of 10m UK adults.

Joe Major, head of marketing at Old Jamaica (Refresco) said: “Old Jamaica is a iconic brand and it was imperative that we produced a campaign that really captured the fact that is a taste experience like no other – it is one of those brands that you never forget once you’ve tried it."

Red Bull introduces new zero calorie drink

Red Bull introduces new zero calorie drink

This winter, Red Bull is broadening its no sugar offer with the global launch of Red Bull Zero, delivering Zero sugar and Zero calories, with the popular flavour of Red Bull Original Energy Drink, the leading single serve soft drink in the market.

Health is now a key concern for shoppers, with 75 per cent considering health when they choose a soft drink [Appinio, July 2024], however, taste continues to be the number 1 driver of purchase [Kantar, July 2023] highlighting the need for a sufficient offering of great tasting no sugar and zero alternatives alongside full sugar soft drinks.

Red Bull Sugarfree caters to this need, providing a no sugar offering but with a distinct flavour that has built up a loyal shopper base. Red Bull Zero aims to fill a gap in the current line-up, for a liquid closer to the taste of Original Red Bull Energy Drink. It meets demand by delivering the same energy boost and taste, but without the sugar, targeting incremental category occasions.

With health such a key consideration for soft drink consumers, Red Bull said it is important to cater to this need within the Energy category. Offering more no sugar options is key to building incrementality for the category with more users, consuming energy drinks more often, and across more occasions. Red Bull has been key to driving this growth, with a portfolio that offers choice, growing shoppers and frequency of its no sugar products year on year and Red Bull Zero aims to drive this further.

The new can also compliments the Red Bull Energy Drink line-up, featuring the brands’ two most distinctive and recognisable assets – the core blue and silver rhombus design and the bull brand logo, along with a ‘New Taste’ flash.
