Case Study: OLIPOP x Amazon Flavor-Packed Summer Drop

When OLIPOP set out to launch their summer flavors, they wanted more than just shelf space—they wanted to spark joy, create buzz, and connect with their community in a memorable way. Teaming up with Amazon, they envisioned a one-of-a-kind drop that felt exclusive, nostalgic, and wildly shareable—all at an unbelievable $0.05 price point. To bring this vision to life, they turned to Zagwear to craft a PR experience that was as flavorful and fun as the drinks themselves. The result? A campaign that turned loyal fans into brand ambassadors and transformed a summer product drop into a cultural moment.

 

Challenge

OLIPOP wanted to create buzz for their fan-favorite summer flavors and reward their most loyal fans. The brand partnered with Amazon for a viral product drop that needed to feel exclusive, elevated, and totally on-brand—with a price point that shocked and delighted: just $0.05.

The goal? Deliver a PR-worthy unboxing experience that would make waves across social and drive serious engagement.

 

Solution

Zagwear partnered with OLIPOP and Amazon to concept, source, and produce 5,000 summer-ready PR boxes, each packed with flavor, personality, and purpose. Every detail was curated to spark joy, tell the OLIPOP story, and encourage organic sharing.

What we produced:

  • Custom Puffer Tote
    Soft, insulated, and perfect for poolside hangs. Fully branded and functional.
  • Mini Bluetooth Mixtape Speaker
    A nod to nostalgic summer jams—custom-shaped like a cassette and built for beach playlists.
  • OLIPOPsicle Mold
    Custom silicone molds to turn their soda into icy treats. Branded and Instagram-ready.
