“Rubicon RAW has had a phenomenal launch, quickly establishing itself as an important part of the category,” said Adrian Troy, Marketing Director at Barr Soft Drinks.

“60 per cent of the brand’s sales have been incremental by recruiting new and lapsed energy consumers and current consumers are also buying Rubicon RAW more frequently than other brands in the market.

“The promotions will be supported by digital advertising and instore activation to engage a broad range of consumers and continue driving shoppers to fixture to increase category sales.”

The energy market is changing, and consumer needs have changed. Energy is no longer the reserve of the traditional young gamers. Innovation has seen the consumer base shift. That’s why Rubicon RAW has been so successful, it meets their needs by delivering on taste. Made with 20 per cent real fruit juice with caffeine from green coffee beans and B-vitamins it provides a big energy hit that is full of flavour.
