Deep River Rock is now the number-one impulse water brand on the island of Ireland, as verified by the NielsenIQ February Value Sales Report.
Details
After 22 consecutive months of growth in the market, Deep River Rock – which is sourced beneath the glacial hills of Co. Antrim – has become the number-one go-to brand for on-the-go consumption.
Introduced to the market in 1994, Deep River Rock embarked on a new strategic direction in 2021, with the launch of its ‘Nice One!’ campaign, with the support of its brand ambassador, comedian Tony Cantwell.
In 2022, Deep River Rock ViTAL was launched, giving consumers a new vitamin-enhanced water and juice drink. The boost contains vitamins and minerals that support mental performance, cognitive function, and energy.
Deep River Rock moved to 100% recycled bottles in 2019. The brand continues to eliminate unnecessary plastic from its packaging.
