AMP ENERGY Reimagines Energy with Shift to Organic Energy Drinks

For the past 16 years, AMP ENERGY has delivered great-tasting energy drinks and is proud to announce a new organic energy drink lineup - AMP ENERGY Organic - for consumers who want the energy boost and great taste of AMP ENERGY, but with simpler, organic ingredients. The new "Organically Unstoppable" products feature the familiar boost of energy and delicious flavors fans have come to expect from AMP ENERGY, now formulated with organic ingredients. AMP ENERGY Organic will launch with four refreshingly delicious flavors, available exclusively at 7-Eleven stores nationwide starting August 28.

AMP ENERGY Organic, which is USDA-certified organic, offers Citrus, Pineapple Coconut, Grape and Tropical Burst flavors, all which boast just five simple ingredients: organic cane sugar, organic caffeine from green coffee beans, carbonated water, citric acid and natural flavors. The ingredient list is not the only thing getting an update; the new AMP ENERGY Organic will feature a newly designed 12-ounce can with imagery that evokes refreshing, organic energy in four colorways to reflect the unique and delicious flavors.

"AMP ENERGY Organic is the culmination of a multi-year work stream to better meet the emerging needs and desires of an evolving energy consumer. With this exciting new introduction, we will provide consumers with an alternative to obtain the energy they need through the organic ingredients we know they want," Justin Schwarz, Marketing Director, Flavors and Energy. "AMP ENERGY Organic is for everyone who at times needs that extra boost to find success in their everyday endeavors, and we want to provide the best possible ingredients to fuel them."

"To meet the desires of millennial customers for products made with simpler and organic ingredients, 7-Eleven offers a variety of choices," said Todd McFarland, 7-Eleven Senior Product Director for Vault. "AMP ENERGY's new organic line of energy drinks in stores is a great addition to our growing line of organic options."

The "Organically Unstoppable" campaign will feature a robust digital and social plan, along with in-store advertising and a free AMP ENERGY Organic program from September 5 - 10 at participating 7-Eleven stores, available on the 7-Eleven Rewards mobile app. AMP ENERGY Organic will be sold at a suggested retail price of $1.99 and promotional price of 2/$3 at 7-Eleven stores nationwide, expanding to additional retailers across the U.S. in early 2018. Current AMP ENERGY, a long-time fan-favorite, will remain on shelves in limited capacity. To learn more visit www.AMPENERGY.com and follow AMP ENERGY Organic on social media @AMPENERGY.
