Tropicana has launched a new masterbrand campaign, featuring a stunning CGI tropical world. The marketing initiative is dubbed 'Give Life Some Juice' and it signals a creative shift for the more than 75-year-old juice company.
Tropicana's 'Give Life Some Juice' initiative immerses viewers in a hyperrealistic CGI tropical world where animated animals interact with the company's full portfolio of fruit juice products. The centerpiece is a 60-second anthem film titled 'Up,' which features a sluggish sloth hanging from an orange tree who, after drinking Tropicana orange juice, becomes energetically rejuvenated and moves through a lush rainforest with newfound confidence.
The 'Give Life Some Juice' campaign extends across connected television, digital video, and social media platforms.
