The Strategy That Broke Celsius’ 10-Year Slump
This is the story of how branding, a fresh team, and some luck, took Celsius from a little-known weight loss drink in Florida, to an international energy beverage powerhouse.

I am a C-store manager and we carry 16 different Celsius flavors. It’s the top selling drink right now displacing monster and redbull.
“But when you're selling a story, you never know when people might stop buying it.” whoever wrote this last line can have my energy drink

It is ironic but at the same time I feel like it works as a brand in the US because we don’t already use the word Celsius often when measuring temp here, so the word represents something almost unique. The opposite would be something like starting a chain of gyms called Fahrenheit in Europe

They taste pretty good too. I ran in a race and they were handing them out for free and that was my first time hearing of them, turned out the race was sponsored by them. Now I see it everywhere.
It’s pretty rich to call it international. They just recently announced distribution deals in Canada and the UK, the common first steps because they’re both English speaking. In the UK it’s still only available on Amazon or through international grocers, so an import. Any actual distribution hasn’t started yet.

I've been seeing them stocked, and with many poster/card adverts, in my UK chain gym. I think we're in that in-between phase right now where they've made the deals and the announcement, and it will become more widely seen over the next few months
What do you mean decided to sell it by the single can? What beverages can you not buy by the single at a store?
What an incredible journey for Celsius! 🌟 It's a testament to the power of strategic rebranding and perseverance, showcasing how a shift in focus and leadership can lead to monumental success in the competitive beverage industry.
personally I find monsters wide selection of flavours and can art to be what actually drew me to drinking them, I never liked the look of red bull cans, I can't even remember if I've had one. But I do know the Rose flavour goes hard and the Paradise flavour is one I tried recently, I was pleasantly surprised to find It tasted exactly like my favourite sweet, apple pencils. I also just really like anything apple, my favourite alcohol to drink is cider; I used chug apple juice so much. Unless another drink makes similar flavours then I'm probably not going to buy. I also take forever to finish a can partly because they are big but because the flavours overwhelming (in a good way) and I just sip it over the day.

Monster is gross only one that's good is the tea ones and the lemonade, but then again same with celcius only the peach is good the rest are disgusting
Hell I didn’t even know those were energy drinks, but that definitely explains why I liked them!
For 10+ years I have had a love for the monster sugar free black can with blue lettering. I don’t think there is a flavor name but they have their hooks 🪝 deep in me.
Maybe Celsius did make a comeback but this video still feels like a giant ad for Celsius.
The C0vid bump was in huge part because of the Red Bull shortage.
Banger video
Good name for international markets. Good thing it wasn't Fahrenheit.
I've been hooked on celsius since 2022. Their flavors are always at least good, if not great. They have a good enough amount of caffeine to pick me up but not too much like Bang. They're also generally cheaper than similar energy drinks.
Should I be worried if I drink Monster?
Take a Vivarin and have a glass of water. Unless of course, you are enamored by that cool can?
I wouldn't touch this stock with a barge pole.
Celsius was my go to until I needed to reduce my caffeine. Red bull is my go to due to the lower caffeine. I miss the decaf 5-hour energies.

I got jump-scared by Celsius cause my sister buys it and i thought it was a diet fruit soda like ICE. I'm super sensitive to caffeine and was not prepared for an energy drink at 9pm
the first one looks like a bottle of LPG. no wonder it flopped
I like that kind, but just because it’s cheap and comes in an even cheaper powder. Outside of being an energy drink, I don’t really understand why it’s marketed weirdly like that

Why not note that Celcius has to pay for that aisle display? They dont just get that because they are connected to Pepsi, stores rent out display areas

also celcius works really well

- Monster doesn’t own Celsius Holdings - and neither does Coke, for the record. In fact, Pepsi is the closest to “owning” Celsius, with 8.5% ownership. - Coke owns around 17% of Monster. - Executives change companies all the time. In this case, he was likely chosen for his experience in the beverage industry. - Why would a small distributor drop Monster for a less popular brand? Maybe this is true, but it seems questionable.

redbull is one of the biggest if not the biggest energy drink in the market. Its the more "health minded" people ive noticed who drink celsius
Never even heard of Celsius. I thought he meant the temperature measurement units. Thank goodness I don't have/watch TV and don't see commercials! (I do live in the US)
They didn't pay Flo Rida, so I'm sticking to Alani Nu. Way better.
I recently noticed Celcius in the main fridges at local stores. I tried one. It taste terrible compared to the classic brands' sugar free versions. I don't get why anyone would like it.
A company is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it....
Pepsi is red cherry. Cola is black cherry.
I'm over Celsius cost too much money. So poor to be able to afford 22 dollars for 12 cans energy drink.
Oh, not the crypto network? Color me surprised
Celsius makes me less cracked out than red bull, anyone know why?
celcius has too much caffeine in a such a small bottle.
They Went Woke... Not Broke...
it doesnt work as good as redbull for me, sugar plays a big role in energy
