GORGIE, a rapidly expanding better-for-you energy drink brand, has launched a new strategic investor campaign featuring social media personality Alix Earle and music legend Jon Bon Jovi. Both celebrities are New Jersey natives who have joined the company as investors and collaborators to help shape its next growth phase while bringing their respective cultural influence and entrepreneurial insight to the brand's evolving identity.
Each can of GORGIE contains 150 milligrams of green tea caffeine alongside Biotin, B Vitamins, and L-Theanine.
The strategic investor campaign rolls out across digital, social, retail, and earned media channels. The initiative showcases how the drink powers diverse lifestyles, from Earle's fast-paced content creation and travel schedule to Bon Jovi's lengthy creative sessions in the recording studio. Simultaneously, the campaign reinforces the GORGIE's 'Energy for All' mission.
