SMITHS
FALLS, ON, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Canopy Growth
Corporation ("Canopy Growth" or the "Company") (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ:
CGC), a world-leading diversified cannabis, hemp, and cannabis
device company, today announced the continued expansion of its
cannabis beverage portfolio and a brand campaign that drives
awareness of its wide range of cannabis beverages just in time for
the summer season. Boasting the category's fastest growing
brands,1 Canopy Growth continues to show its leadership
in beverages and ongoing commitment to meeting customer demand.
The Company showcases its diverse portfolio of cannabis
beverages in its new Just Hits Different brand campaign
which offers adult consumers a new way to enjoy familiar
experiences, and a different type of drink to consume during
special summer occasions like long weekends. The campaign comes to
life across digital and social channels and aims to drive traffic,
create awareness, and convert sales in store.
The campaign also features an interactive and educational
flavour sampling program, the biggest the category has ever seen.
Consumers can visit one of more than 1,400 Canadian cannabis retail
locations to try a non-active flavour sample of products like Tweed
Fizz Mango, Tweed Iced Tea Lemon, Deep Space Limon Splashdown, and
Quatreau Passionfruit & Guava. The pop-up sampling events give
consumers an opportunity to learn about the products, engage with
brand ambassadors, and experience the flavours before adding them
to their shopping cart.
When consumers arrive in store, they will see a bigger-than-ever
range of flavour-forward cannabis beverages from brands like Tweed,
a 5 mg THC segment leader, and Deep Space, a high potency 10mg THC
brand known for its bold, nostalgic flavours with a unique twist.
Familiar favourites from Quatreau and Ace
Valley, plus new offerings from Vert, round out the summer
line-up, giving consumers a wide variety of options.
To make room for its new offerings and increased distribution,
785 fridges have been added in retail locations across the country,
quadrupling their fridge footprint and further emphasizing the
breadth and depth of their beverage portfolio.
"Our insights tell us that taste and seasonality play a key role
in consumer choice, which is why we're excited to offer a range of
new and familiar flavours for the summer," said Tara Rozalowsky, Vice President, Brand Marketing
at Canopy Growth. "Our sampling events give consumers a chance to
try our great-tasting beverage flavours, so when they're ready to
add a beverage to their basket and experience cannabis in a whole
new way, they know what our brands have to offer."
In addition to the recently announced Deep Space Orange Orbit
and The Grape Unknown and range of Tweed Fizz and cannabis iced tea
beverages, consumers will be able to enjoy three new beverage
offerings debuting this summer:
- Deep Space Ginger Ale Galaxy: Small, potent and
ready-to-go, this infused carbonated beverage inspired by one of
the top five carbonated drink flavours,2 offers the
gingery bite of a classic ginger ale, but with a unique twist of
lemongrass. It's fueled by 10 mg of THC and comes in a 222 ml sleek
can.
- Vert Solstice (Quebec
