Taut sports drinks get new look through Pearlfisher

LONDON - Pearlfisher has given Taut sports drinks an extensive redesign, positioning the drinks as the only 'clean' and healthy sports drink on the market.

The Taut sports drinks, which have two ranges, Isotonic and Endurance, are endorsed by the British Triathlon team.

The new design set out to communicate that Taut is a natural and healthy drink with only vitamins and minerals added.

The abstract figure on the front gives Taut a distinct identity from its competitors and a short inspirational story about a sporting moment links back- and front-of-pack messaging. Fruit is incorported into the design to communicate the health benefits of the drink.

The structural redesign has moved the range from pouches into bottles with a new grip point for added practicality for active consumers.

Sarah Lang, Taut marketing director, said: "The new sports bottles will cement Taut's position in the sports drink category and will offer our health-conscious sporty consumers a compelling proposition with great on-shelf standout. We expect this transition to drive growth across the brand."

The drinks come in three flavours: cranberry and blackberry; orange and mandarin; and lime and grapefruit; with Taut Endurance also in lemon. The drinks are available in Waitrose, Sainsbury's, Tesco and health clubs nationwide, and are shortly to be available in forecourts.
