1. Redefine Hydration Leadership
The master brand, Gatorade, needed to be re-positioned back to its foundation in hydration. To reclaim its leadership of the hydration space, it needed to move beyond “thirst quenching” to “performance hydration.”  As part of its bid to reclaim leadership in hydration among competitive athletes, Gatorade launched G-Series – Prime, Perform, and Recover.

2.Elevate the Brand from Hydration to Sports Fuel
Anchored on the occasion-specific benefits desired by athletes, the brand was poised to elevate itself beyond the $6BN sports hydration category and into the $72BN sports fuel space; moving from “science and soul of hydration” to “fuel to help athletes win from within”. This was actualized through creating a line up of products targeting both the hydration and nutrition needs surrounding intensive athletic occasions, across the moments before, during, and after these occasions
