Vitaminwater: advert-body-2 by Zambezi

Vitaminwater Active launched in 2017, championed as “the sports drink for the rest of us.” With the brand’s new ‘Sorta-Fit Spokesguy’ campaign, the message stays on target for the product, of not taking itself too seriously while encouraging consumers to have fun with fitness.

The ‘Sorta-Fit Spokesguy’ is an average Joe, a non-celebrity endorser who aims to not work out too hard yet further educate consumers on the existence and benefits of the product. The ginger-haired man is shown in a gym sweating, but not pumping iron. In one spot, he describes what being the ‘Sorta-Fit Spokesguy’ means.

“It means I work out, but I don’t take my shirt off. I lift weights, but I don’t look in mirrors, or if I do, I won’t make eye contact with myself…sometimes I’ll go to the gym and if I don’t find parking, I’ll go home,” he says.

Another spot has him saying that if people follow his workout program, they can “go hard and then also go home…because that’s where you live.”

The shorts will be running on social media where people can learn and share the product with ads and Instagram stories showcasing the ‘funner side of fitness.” There will be gifs to accompany the stills and videos.
