Dive Brief:
- Coca-Cola has launched a bottled water brand in China called Ice Dew "Chun Yue," or Pure Joy.
- The socially conscious brand sets aside funds to develop safe sources of drinking water for schoolchildren in rural provinces such as Yunnan and Sichuan.
- The brand is priced slightly higher than rival bottled-water brands, and is targeted at millennials, who are seen as interested in supporting social causes with their brand choices.
Dive Insight:
The only thing better than this brand and its mission is its tagline -- "Drink Good, Do Good, Feel Good" -- which is about the clearest description of the entire socially conscious movement we could imagine. The TV ad running in China is pretty wonderful too.
This is the first socially responsible brand that Coke has produced. If it takes off, perhaps the company will look to expand the brand to the States, even worldwide.
