C4 Energy® Tuesday announces its fruitiest flavor drop yet, in partnership with SKITTLES® brand, as part of its line of candy-inspired energy drinks.
Coming off a record year with the successful launch of its STARBURST® candy collaboration, C4 Energy®, one of the fastest-growing energy drink brands in the United States, created by Nutrabolt, a global leader in active nutrition and better-for-you performance beverages, launches its second collaboration with Mars Wrigley, this time with the SKITTLES® brand. Both brands are inviting fans to sip the rainbow with explosive energy and fruity flavor, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
In this highly anticipated collaboration, the two brands have teamed up to create the perfect sip designed to taste like a handful of SKITTLES® candy, flawlessly executing bold, fruity flavor that delivers high-performance energy via quality tested, clinically studied ingredients. The C4 Energy® mission of maximizing human performance, combined with the SKITTLES® brand ethos of disrupting the predictable, brings fans a mouth-watering new way to free themselves from the ordinary through peak physical expression.
“We continue our highly successful collaboration with Mars Wrigley and the iconic SKITTLES® brand to bring our joint fan base a brand-new candy-inspired flavor sure to energize their taste buds and add a whole lot of fruity flavor to their start of year,” said Rajaa Grar, Chief Digital and Marketing Officer at Nutrabolt. “With each sip designed to taste like a handful of SKITTLES® candy, fans will be able to ignite their fire as they seek to unlock their full performance, all with zero-sugar, zero-artificial color drink for uncompromised taste.”
To further energize the partnership launch, C4 Energy® has challenged several ultra-fresh, disruptive content creators with taking inspiration from the C4 Energy® x SKITTLES® flavor launch to deliver creative content to their fans that are an unexpected interruption to their day. The brand ambassadors, such as Ron “Boss” Everline, Nutrabolt’s Chief Fitness and Business Ambassador and trainer to the stars, such as Kevin Hart; Suzette James, top contestant on Fox’s Joe Millionaire; Thor Bradley, TikTok’s favorite lumberjack; and Jason Diaz, the impossibly dreamy viral Internet star, to name just a few, will each launch custom video content featuring the new product launch and designed to disrupt the ordinary.
The collaboration between the confectionary giant and the household energy drink brand will also come to life through bold and uncharted content across the C4 Energy® and SKITTLES® brands’ digital worlds. The new vision pulls inspiration from the nostalgia engine of iconic SKITTLES® candy TV spots and amplifies it with C4® Energy’s performance-driven mentality. Superhuman C4 Energy® ambassadors are set in hyperbolic color universes, resulting in vibrant, kinetic, and irreverent content, designed to inspire fans to sip the rainbow and achieve peak physical expression in any form they choose. Fans are also encouraged to follow the C4 Energy® social accounts for stop-by-stop updates to the return of the C4 Energy® Mobile Candy Shop, as it makes coast-to-coast journeys, sampling to thousands of lucky C4 Energy® and SKITTLES® candy fans across the nation.
“Our continued partnership with Mars Wrigley has given us the opportunity to once again engage consumers and retailers alike with a disruptive experience of two of their favorite brands,” said John Herman, Chief Commercial Officer at Nutrabolt. “Coming out of the record launch of the C4 Energy® x STARBURST® candy collaboration in 2021, we look forward to continuing the explosive momentum of our partnership and successfully delivering an unparalleled zero-sugar flavor experience with uncompromised taste.”
The SKITTLES® candy flavors will be sold in 16 oz cans and can be found at C4Energy.com, Amazon, and over 45,000 doors within key retailers such as H-E-B, Albertsons, Safeway, Publix, Kroger, Wawa, Speedway, 7-Eleven, QuikTrip, and the Vitamin Shoppe, and gyms across the country.
