Relentless expands Zero Sugar range with Watermelon variant

Relentless expands Zero Sugar range with Watermelon variant

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) has expanded its Relentless Zero Sugar range to maintain momentum behind the brand with its latest flavour launch, Watermelon.

The new, refreshingly fruity, zero sugar flavour is designed to fuel additional growth of the Relentless brand, which is worth nearly £52 million – up 12.9 per cent in value and 43.7 per cent in volume over the past year.


It builds on the successful launch of the Relentless Zero Sugar Raspberry and Peach flavours last summer, which have already added more than £5.3m to the energy drinks category in less than a year.

Rolling out now, Relentless Zero Sugar Watermelon comes in an eye-catching white, black, pink and vibrant green can design with the recognisable Relentless ‘R’ motif in the centre, coming in plain and price-marked 500ml packs for shoppers to enjoy on-the-go.

The new variant will also help retailers tap into the growth of the wider energy drinks sector – now worth £1.71 billion and enjoying 13.6 per cent value growth and 7.8 per cent volume growth in GB over the last year. This is, in part, being driven by the increased popularity of sugar-free energy drinks which are now worth £305m, up 26.1 per cent in value and 22.9 per cent in volume in the last 12 months, with Relentless’ sister brand Monster taking the No.1 sugar free energy drink spot with Monster Ultra.

“The Energy drinks segment has established itself as one of the key value and volume growth drivers within soft drinks, adding more than £205m to the category over the last year,” Pippa Collins, associate director of commercial development at CCEP GB, said.

“This is largely due to the segment becoming more mainstream over the last decade, appealing to more consumers on more occasions and this is thanks to the arrival of new flavours, functionality and zero sugar options like the Relentless Zero Sugar range. Innovation continues to be incredibly important to the segment, delivering almost a quarter of energy drinks growth and we’re confident that this new Relentless Zero Sugar Watermelon variant will contribute to this moving forward so would recommend that retailers get stocked up.”

Retailers can drive excitement in-store with POS materials and digital downloads, available from My.CCEP.com.

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.”
