Suja wants your Concepts on what is the best way to bring Suja’s existing #itsthejuice campaign to a mass audience, where the brand comes to the rescue of those in need of restoring balance.

**  You have until Monday, June 6 to vote on your favorite Concept submission! **

Suja is the startup juice brand from San Diego that has turned the premium juice category on its head. Founded as a home-delivery juice business, in less than four years they’ve grown to a nationally distributed brand that offers cold-pressed, organic, non-GMO juice for $3.99. They believe that everyone should have access to clean, nutrient dense juice, and the country is taking notice. Suja is the fastest growing premium juice brand; competitors have popped up regularly, including new similar items from juice giants Naked Juice & Bolthouse Farms.

Suja believes healthiness is the root of all happiness. And when life takes you off track, #itsthejuice that’ll bring you back. In a world filled with unrealistic expectations about what it means to be “healthy” Suja acts as your ally and a refreshing voice of reason that restores balance without resorting to extremes or absolutes. No judgments here. Just amazing juice and a more relatable approach towards living your long, beautiful life.

In January 2016 Suja launched the #itsthejuice Campaign where they come to the rescue of folks in need of balance restoration, by surprising them with juice when they have been eating like crap for a weekend, or have a head cold, or are traveling and don’t have access to healthy food. 

Suja’s been reaching them through: 

• Social Listening – scanning social media to find people who are needing a Suja pick me up, and surprising them by either mailing juice, or having their field team drop it off. To get a better idea, check out the examples below:

• Office interventions – taking over office fridges; throwing out the rotten or unhealthy food and stocking with Suja.
• Influencers – sending Suja to influencers across genres and having them post #itsthejuice
• Social media – regramming their fans’ instagrams when Suja has come to their rescue.
