Rockstar energises no-sugar range with Blueberry flavour

Rockstar energises no-sugar range with Blueberry flavour

Rockstar Energy is launching a new addition to its no sugar range with Blueberry – a popular flavour with Rockstar’s signature energy boost.

The in-demand variant will be rolling out in a PMP format from mid-March across convenience and wholesale. It will broaden the brand’s appeal by offering a further no-sugar option, and the blueberry flavour is designed to appeal to even more shoppers – with a subtle taste to recruit older consumers to the category, while retaining Rockstar’s core 18-35 fan base. Berry Stimulants are now worth £67.6m a year and growing at 85% YoY, tapping into this trend, this latest addition will help retailers increase sales further.


No-sugar stimulants are growing twice as fast as standard variants. No Sugar Blueberry caters to evolving consumer preferences and the clear demand for no sugar energy drinks.

"No Sugar Blueberry allows retailers to strengthen their energy range and capture the attention of even more shoppers in-store,” said Ben Parker, Britvic’s Retail Commercial Director. “Providing a flavoursome, non-sugar choice is key to making the most of the category, which shows no signs of slowing down. Also available in a price-marked can, No Sugar Blueberry not only delivers an interesting and in-demand flavour, but also offers shoppers great value.”

The launch will be supported by out-of-home media, sampling, in-store activations, and a strategic combination of PR and influencer initiatives.

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
