No Ugly wellness tonics are a range of functional health drinks, scientifically formulated in New Zealand, that help you "get back to gorgeous".
Innocean Australia, in its second campaign for the company, is asking people to drink the ingredients, not just the brand, for the No Ugly Hydrate variant.
Frontgredients is a provocative campaign that challenges the major players of sports hydration drinks by inviting Aussies to pay more attention to the ingredients they are putting into their bodies - rather than the drinks’ marketing.
To launch the campaign, special double-sided ingredients labels were created, turning the amounts of nutrients, B vitamins, electrolytes, and low sugar into the branding on the No Ugly Hydrate bottles.
Ryan Bernal, Country Manager at No Ugly: “No Ugly Hydrate has been scientifically formulated to be packed with electrolytes like magnesium, potassium, sodium and, unlike most sports drinks, B vitamins, which help convert what you eat into glucose - which gives you energy. All with only 2.8g of natural sugars to boot. No ‘free’ or ‘added’ sugars here. We can’t compete with the giants of sports drinks in terms of dollars, but we certainly compete with them when it comes to the actual drink. That’s the beauty of the ‘Frontgredients’ campaign.”
Out-of-home executions challenge Gatorade, the no.1 sports drink in Australia, to “show us your backside” and reveal what they’re really made of.
This activity is accompanied by a social competition encouraging people to turn competitors’ bottles around on shelves to show the ingredients behind their branding, for a chance to win crates of No Ugly Hydrate.
V. Wassim Kanaan, Senior Art Director at Innocean: “Whether you’re a professional sportsperson, weekend warrior, or even a non-athlete, many sports beverages widely being consumed are often just another sugary drink.
"We don’t have the same brand awareness as the Gatorades of the world. So, to make people think about what they are putting into their bodies, we doubled down on our ingredients label and turned that into our No Ugly branding.”
The campaign launched November 22 and social activity went live on November 30.
