Well Positioned and Differentiated
Historically, small and innovative companies (not large brands) create disruptive
opportunities.
The Mainstream Sports
Disruptive Opportunity
Market Movers and Creators
• Sports Drink Segment
• New Age Beverages
• Energy Drink Segment
• RTD Coffee Segment
• Enhanced Water Segment
• Mainstream Health and Wellness
Nutrition Segment
Brand Innovator
Where performance, nutrition,
and energy converge on
“All Natural Fuel”
Segment Characteristics:
•
•
•
•
True functionality
Balanced all natural ingredients
Great tasting
Broad consumer appeal, providing
benefits not just to the weightlifter
seeking bulk or the 20-year old looking
for quick energy
Implications for Disruptive Brands:
• Demands quick action to capitalize on
window of opportunity
• Product turns slower than “old-line”
products until message is broadly
delivered leading to satisfaction and
increased velocity
Despite implications, returns for
disruptive brands are significantly
higher than “me too” products
