NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Vita Coco, the nation’s best-selling coconut water and one of the fastest growing beverage brands in the U.S., announced that Dustin Pedroia, Boston’s own hometown hero, will join the Vita Coco family as a spokesperson for the brand, and will be featured in an advertising campaign launching in Boston this summer.
"I’m a big Vita Coco fan!” says Pedroia. “I keep a stock of it in the locker room fridge, and I drink it every game to stay hydrated and avoid cramps."
Vita Coco, which is Never from Concentrate and contains the five essential electrolytes, 15 times the potassium of a traditional sports drink and 100 percent of the daily requirement of vitamin C, delivers super-hydrating functionality with every sip. A long time fan of coconut water, Pedroia chooses all-natural Vita Coco over artificial sports drinks for optimal hydration.
Pedroia will appear in Vita Coco’s newest ad campaign launching this June in the Boston market. The campaign will activate through radio, out-of-home and digital platforms, and coincides with Rihanna’s national advertising campaign for the brand, also to be released this summer.
“Dehydration not only affects an athlete’s physical performance on the field, but also their mental alertness, concentration and decision-making,” says Dave Page, Team Strength and Conditioning Coach. “Our team loves Vita Coco. It has the essential electrolytes, including high levels of potassium needed, to keep my players hydrated and feeling strong, alert and ready to bring home a win.”
