Boost Drinks and Leeds United FC expand partnership

Functional drinks brand Boost Drinks has expanded its partnership with Leeds United marking the brand’s third consecutive year as an Official Partner of the football club.

The partnership marks an exciting moment for Boost Drinks and Leeds United FC, as it will see two local Yorkshire brands, who both pride themselves in ambition and hard work join forces once again. Aligning on a similar set of values, both brands are striving, challenger brands undergoing significant growth and success. Leeds United holds a historically rich position in English football, with a passionate global fanbase of 164 million Leeds fans, whilst Boost Drinks (founded in Leeds in 2001), is the third largest selling energy stimulation brand within independent retail. In addition to its diverse selection of energy drinks in a wide range of flavours and formats, Boost Drinks also holds the second-largest selling range of isotonic sports drinks, is the fastest growing ready-to-drink iced coffee brand and owns the third-largest selling flavoured protein shakes.

The agreement between the two energetic brands will continue to drive an all-round highly engaging consumer experience from digital led stadium branding to social media activations. As a Gold Tier Partner, Boost Drinks will have increased stadium branding extending across the West Stand, Player Tunnel and three external banners. Not only will this enhanced stadium presence deliver Boost Drinks great exposure amongst the passionate fans and players in the stadium, but it will also be captured on live TV, reaching millions of consumers globally.

What’s more is that as an official e-Premier league partner, Boost Drinks will be the shirt sponsor for all club playoffs and grand finals organised by the Premier League. This will allow Boost Drinks to expand its reach further, targeting the gaming audience as the brand taps into this digital space. There’s no doubt in saying that all these initiatives are bound to stimulate an incredibly exciting and optimistic experience for the fans.

Fans will also be offered opportunities to indulge in the Boost range with product sampling on game days and Boost fridges located in four of the official Leeds United retail stores, Boost Energy, Boost Iced Coffee and Boost Sport will also be available at the stadium on match days – an initiative from last year’s partnership which was highly desired.

“We’re delighted to amplify our partnership with Leeds United FC ready for the 22/23 season,” said Adrian Hipkiss, Marketing, and International Business Director at Boost Drinks said: Last season’s partnership was incredibly successful, we have driven brilliant launches, activations, and experiences. As two passionate and ambitious brands, the close alignment of our values has enabled us to work hand in hand, to build a fantastic relationship with one another. It’s been a pleasure witnessing the Boost brand go from strength-to-strength, and we are confident that our work with the club will help elevate our brand health further.”

Paul Bell, Executive Director of Leeds United, added: “We are delighted to grow and extend our partnership with Boost Drinks. Over the past three years we have worked closely with the brand to help create some fantastic digital content and to help raise awareness of the Boost brand globally through the Premier League platform that we are able to provide our partners. We look forward to working with the team at Boost”
