DALLAS, TX (July 16, 2015) – SodaStream International Ltd. (NASDAQ: SODA), the leading global manufacturer and distributor of sparkling water makers, has tapped Dallas-based agency Commerce House for a TV campaign aimed at repositioning the in-home carbonator. The agency will create a strategic campaign for the ongoing repositioning of the company from soda maker to sparkling water system – which began last year with a new tagline (“Water made exciting”) and out-of-home advertising on the theme, “Be a Sparkling Water Maker.” The new advertising campaign will begin in test later this summer.
“SodaStream is our kind of partner,” said Mark Denesuk, founder of Commerce House. “The brand is at the forefront of two defining movements – health and wellness and consumer empowerment. They’re creating a synthesis that’s fresh. We know how to make that matter to consumers.”
SodaStream is addressing the dilemma of sugary and artificially flavored beverages, and the rise of the do-it-yourself consumer, by focusing on sparkling water made to order by consumers themselves.
“We’re focusing on empowerment – made by you, not for you,” said Daniel Birnbaum, Chief Executive Officer of SodaStream. “Our mission is to revolutionize the beverage industry by giving consumers healthier, more fun, sparkling water options. By bringing the emotion of our brand to life in video, Commerce House will help us define and own the most important territory in the beverage category.”
SodaStream was attracted to Commerce House for its work in building brands at the forefront of categories, industries and cultural trends. Of particular interest was the agency’s repositioning of Zico coconut water, now a Coca-Colabrand, as the natural sports drink.
“Commerce House brings us beverage experience with a fresh perspective,” Birnbaum added. “They’ve developed inspiring, brilliant creative that captures our DNA, what we offer consumers, and cultural trends. They’ve already provided great insight and will be instrumental as a strategic partner.”
