Canopy Growth announced the continued expansion of its cannabis beverage portfolio and a brand campaign that drives awareness of its wide range of cannabis beverages just in time for the summer season. Boasting the category’s fastest growing brands,1 Canopy Growth continues to show its leadership in beverages and ongoing commitment to meeting customer demand.
The Company showcases its diverse portfolio of cannabis beverages in its new Just Hits Different brand campaign which offers adult consumers a new way to enjoy familiar experiences, and a different type of drink to consume during special summer occasions like long weekends. The campaign comes to life across digital and social channels and aims to drive traffic, create awareness, and convert sales in store.
The campaign also features an interactive and educational flavour sampling program, the biggest the category has ever seen. Consumers can visit one of more than 1,400 Canadian cannabis retail locations to try a non-active flavour sample of products like Tweed Fizz Mango, Tweed Iced Tea Lemon, Deep Space Limon Splashdown, and Quatreau Passionfruit & Guava. The pop-up sampling events give consumers an opportunity to learn about the products, engage with brand ambassadors, and experience the flavours before adding them to their shopping cart.
When consumers arrive in store, they will see a bigger-than-ever range of flavour-forward cannabis beverages from brands like Tweed, a 5 mg THC segment leader, and Deep Space, a high potency 10mg THC brand known for its bold, nostalgic flavours with a unique twist. Familiar favourites from Quatreau and Ace Valley, plus new offerings from Vert, round out the summer line-up, giving consumers a wide variety of options.
To make room for its new offerings and increased distribution, 785 fridges have been added in retail locations across the country, quadrupling their fridge footprint and further emphasizing the breadth and depth of their beverage portfolio.
“Our insights tell us that taste and seasonality play a key role in consumer choice, which is why we’re excited to offer a range of new and familiar flavours for the summer,” said Tara Rozalowsky, Vice President, Brand Marketing at Canopy Growth. “Our sampling events give consumers a chance to try our great-tasting beverage flavours, so when they’re ready to add a beverage to their basket and experience cannabis in a whole new way, they know what our brands have to offer.”
In addition to the recently announced Deep Space Orange Orbit and The Grape Unknown and range of Tweed Fizz and cannabis iced tea beverages, consumers will be able to enjoy three new beverage offerings debuting this summer:
