SodaStream, the world’s leading sparkling water brand, has announced a full 360° brand repositioning, going live today. Following its digital transformation and consumer centric strategy launched three years ago, the company is tapping into its consumers’ growing interest in design, innovation and mixology, and emphasising user-experience.
As the trend of making fresh sparkling water at home continues to grow, and as consumers seek more approachable premium products, especially in the food and beverage sector, SodaStream is introducing a full top-to-bottom redesign of the company’s symbol, colour palette and websites, and is introducing a new tier of elevated products.
At the heart of the new positioning is the brand’s call to Push for Better, inspired by the action one takes when pushing the SodaStream sparkling water maker button.
“Push for Better” is brought to life in the brand’s new visual identity, leading to a “ripple effect” of positive change, inspired by the power of a simple push of a button and the stream of change that it sets in motion – for both consumers and the planet.
The new visual language includes a fresh new iconic symbol consisting of two interlocking water droplets arranged in a yin and yang formation, depicting balance and harmony and resembling the planet. The design forms the signature letter “S”, symbolising SodaStream.
Representative of the company’s dedication to do better for the planet, SodaStream’s new colour palette is inspired by nature, with new primary colours Fresh Blue, Deep Blue, and Sand symbolic of the purity and freshness of water, and the brightness of sand.
SodaStream is also revealing “SodaStream Collection”, a new premium product tier that represents its advanced and designed product range. “SodaStream Collection” offers elevated experiences through superior innovation, quality, and design.
The Collection range will consist of SodaStream’s new sparkling water makers – the Art and the Duo – and will also include future innovations designed by globally renowned designers.
SodaStream’s new visual identity is now live throughout the company’s digital touchpoints including its direct to consumer websites, social media channels, and additional platforms. Starting in 2023, the newly designed packaging will gradually roll out to all 47 markets globally in which the company operates.
Eyal Shohat, CEO of SodaStream said: “Our new ‘Push for Better’ strategy and its accompanying brand assets are the next chapter in SodaStream’s journey to change the way the world drinks and revolutionise the global beverage industry.
“As the experts of sparkling beverages creation, we are excited to provide our consumers with the perfect sparkling water experiences, with an upgraded lifestyle. By using SodaStream, our consumers have the opportunity to do something that’s better for them and better for the planet.”
SodaStream Australia managing director Laura Wilson added: “With so many Aussies now enjoying at-home sparkling water as part of their everyday lives, we’re thrilled to unveil this new phase of SodaStream ahead of the Australian summer.
“Our new ‘Push For Better’ message highlights the positive impact we can all have on our health, and on the planet, simply by making small but significant changes in our lives.”
SodaStream has collaborated with Pearl Fisher, a creative design and branding agency based in London, to create and implement the brand’s new visual identity as well as Eitan Cohen, creative advisor to SodaStream.
“We are very proud of our partnership with SodaStream. It’s been a great process, from identifying SodaStream’s opportunity to evolving and optimising the brand’s key assets – to ensuring every aspect of the new design vision and brand experience activates its trailblazing attitude and stream of change mentality,” said Eitan Cohen and David Jenkinson, design and experience partners at Pearl Fischer.
“This is an exciting next chapter for Sodastream and we’re looking forward to seeing this bold, impactful, and empowering new design hit the shelves.”
