PepsiCo
With 80 mg of caffeine, Rockstar Unplugged contains an innovative blend of ingredients that provide an extra burst of energy when you need it. The new sugar-free, calorie-free beverage combines hemp seed oil, B vitamins, spearmint, and lemon balm with a dose of caffeine. It is available in three sugar-free flavors - Blueberry, Passionfruit, and Raspberry Cucumber.
Rockstar Unplugged features a new campaign – Turn Up Your Mood – and new can design with colorful "groove shape" illustrations symbolizing aura, music, and energy. These shapes swirl and expand from the iconic Rockstar star across the 12oz slim cans. Mood and music are visually communicated in every aspect of the campaign.
"With Rockstar Unplugged, we continue the brand's heritage in driving culture while delivering innovation to the category," said Fabiola Torres, PepsiCo General Manager and Chief Marketing Officer of the Energy Category. "Ninety-one percent of our consumers told us they wanted a beverage that lifts their mood. Rockstar Unplugged delivers the ingredients consumers have been asking for, creating an opportunity for us to transform the category and introduce new consumers to our energy portfolio."
Rockstar Energy's new partnership with MTV will spotlight the Rockstar Unplugged product and launch a first-of-its-kind 3-part music series with the groundbreaking music franchise – MTV Unplugged – that shares its name. Kicking off the music series in Los Angeles, Rockstar and MTV Unplugged will then go on the road, with two additional concerts in 2022. Fans will need to visit turnupyourmood.com to enter for a chance to win a trip to this one-of-a-kind musical experience.
"MTV's legacy is grounded in speaking to young people with content and experiences that matter to them," said Jason White, CMO, MTV Entertainment Group. "This partnership with Rockstar Unplugged enables us to extend the iconic MTV Unplugged franchise to a new generation of music fans as a reimagined concert series that can drive entertainment forward."
