Design Details

Unique Properties
When bubly™ first hit the market in 2018, it took the sparkling water world by storm. Now across the board, the caffeine/energy category is growing rapidly, and this is reflected in the sparkling water category, as well. To tap into that growing market, PepsiCo created bubly bounce™. Now, the bubly bounce line extension offers all the fun and flavor of bubly with just a kick of caffeine and the addition of dual flavors.
Inspiration
The Design Team’s strategy for bubly bounce was to create a system that differentiated from the base portfolio and communicated the addition of just a kick of caffeine, without leaning too far into “energy” territory. It was important to maintain the instantly recognizable equity of the bubly brand: bold and bright colors, bubbles, clever greetings and smiles. bubly bounce needed to resonate with current bubly consumers and clearly stand out on shelf amongst the competition.
