MOUNTAIN DEW REBRAND

MTN Dew, once synonymous with high-energy and action sports, had lost its right to win in the space with the rise of the energy market.
Over the years, increasingly alienated consumers have made them feel that the drink wasn’t for them.

The green beverage had fallen far from its sun drenteched beginings. It’s herriatage.

Our team sought to reclaim our place in the outdoors and put the Mountain back in Mountain Dew.

The new visual identity emphasizes taking in real moments, flavor, our beginnings, that you should get off your ass and live.

Mountain Dew is the after-trail treat you need, the good time at the local lake.
