Essentia | Hold My Hydroboost

To launch a brand new Essentia product called “Hydroboost” to the masses, we made a social-first campaign called “Hold my Hydroboost”.
A campaign that flipped the popular ‘Hold my Beer’ phrase to put the product name out into culture in a repeatable and unmissable way.

In this instance, we enlisted six-time NBA all-star Jimmy Butler for a supercharged game of H.O.R.S.E on a Horse… of course.
