When hydration tastes this good and feels this fun, it stops being a chore and becomes part of your routine<br \/>\nnaturally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Created with Mythology, the campaign ad, which also runs in a :60 version, airs via streaming, CTV, digital video and social. The campaign extends with podcasts and audio<br \/>\nexecutions, as well as influencer, out-of-home, experiential and retail marketing efforts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The OOH also includes aerial advertising promoting the brand\u2019s new 19.2-oz cans,<br \/>\nwith such lines as \u201cCaught You Looking At Our Can.\u201d Digital executions include an ad that reads \u201cWILF (Water I&#8217;d Like to Finish).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The brand has also formed<br \/>\npartnerships with the Peacock show \u201cLove Island,\u201d \u00a0as well as tapped such personalities as rapper Yung Gravy and influencer Ari Kytsya for promotions.
