PUMP has launched its ‘PUMP up your team’ water bottles for the second year in a row.

The announcement:

Australia, Tuesday 27 March 2018: PUMP today announced it will continue its partnership with the AFL as the official water for the 2018 season. For the second year running the partnership will be underpinned by the ‘PUMP up your team’ campaign, with the brand changing its iconic packaging to feature all of the AFL’s 18 team names on the labels.

The limited-edition packs will be available during March through to May, enabling fans to select PUMP as their water of choice whilst cheering on their team. The campaign also includes social, influencer, radio and in-store activity.

For the first time, PUMP will also partner with some individual AFL players such as Patrick Dangerfield, Rory Sloane and Nic Naitanui to help galvanise support and raise awareness of how AFL fans can pump up their teams.

Consumer promotions to win tickets to the 2018 Toyota AFL Grand Final will also be featured on Triple M’s The Rush Hour in Melbourne to drive local engagement.

We’re excited to see the PUMP packs in store and in the hands of fans over the coming months.”
