Vitaminwater has partnered with Megan Rapinoe, the U.S. women’s soccer star, as pat of a campaign to that embolden consumers to “be a tryathlete.” The company encourages consumers to share a “fearless commitment to never settle in their pursuit of the next big thing” like many of the participants in the upcoming Olympic games.
Through the Vitaminwater 2016 #beatryathletecontest, Vitaminwater will reward consumers who live to try new activities and experiences. Fans are invited to showcase their inner tryathlete by documenting these experiences to vie for a series of prizes that includes an all-expenses-paid trip for four in February to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the host city of the Olympic Games in 2016.
“Vitaminwater has always had an adventurous side, daring consumers to ask: what if?” said Celina Li, Vitaminwater Group Director at The Coca-Cola Company. “Throughout the Vitaminwater #beatryathlete contest, we’ll be alongside consumers as they ask themselves that question and take the opportunity to see and enjoy new adventures in life.”
Leading by example as the brand’s official U.S. Olympic athlete and campaign spokesperson will be Megan Rapinoe, a London 2012 gold medal-winning soccer player for the U.S. Women’s National Team and self-professed tryathlete.
“I’m excited to partner with Vitaminwater on the #beatryathlete contest because I’m definitely a ‘try’ person,” said Rapinoe. “I love to try new things and always challenge myself to enjoy new experiences, places and anything outside the norm.”
