Activists Go to War for Acai Brand

By Brandweek Staff
Posted: August 06, 2010

Sambazon, a San Clemente, Calif., firm that makes products based on acai, is beckoning consumers to “warrior up” in a new ad campaign. The campaign, from Mutt Industries, features Sambazon Warriors—spokespeople for the brand—who have fought for one cause or another. Such warriors include Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who lost her arm in a shark attack; and Hans Rey, who founded wheels4life.org, a charity that gives bicycles to kids in Third World countries. Hamilton, Rey, and others are featured in an online video on Sambazon’s site. The idea is to create a brand positioning based on “everyday warriors” in which consumers can join and feel they are part of a movement. A Facebook app that lets consumers add a headdress to their photo is also part of the outreach, as is a print and outdoor campaign in San Diego. Acai, which is grown in Brazil, is said to contain polyphenol and antioxidents, both of which are believed to help reduce heart disease and cancer.
