Founded in 1995, Pro Motion creates immersive, meaningful brand experiences that cut through digital noise, fostering genuine connections and lasting impressions.
Dr Pepper Snapple Group wanted to create trial and awareness for the Sun Drop brand and the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” media campaign through sampling and education in several markets during the crucial summer months.
Solution
Pro Motion developed a fun, energetic and buzz worthy sampling program that provided consistent, trained and professional Brand Ambassadors, turnkey activation and management for the Sun Drop brand.
Street Teams targeted select guerilla and sponsored events with high attendance of the brands’ target demographic for ice cold sampling.
Brand Ambassadors activated retail sampling at convenience stores combined with a buy-one-get-one special to encourage immediate onsite sales.
The colorful branded van, tent and inflatable, along with street teams that “owned” the campaign’s creative (see photo), provided additional excitement and chatter.
The Sun Drop teams challenged consumers to “Drop it like it’s hot!”
Results
Brand Ambassadors visited more than 200 locations.
An average of over 1,100 cold product samples per handed out each event day with over 80,000 samples distributed.
Sales skyrocked in the sampling markets with Sun Drop sales increasing in the St. Louis market 368% alone.
