Out To Launch... Want To Look Younger Shot -Together Health
Together Health, Pomegreat, Coors Brewers, Unilever UK, Diageo

Together Health has launched a delicious one-a-day supplement ‘shot’ drink that aims to revitalise, replenish and turn back time; working from the inside-out to keep you looking young! Their Acai Age Defence drink has been specially formulated using vital ingredients such as Acai berry, Green Tea, Omega 3 and 6 oils, for the brain, as well as Lutein to help the body maintain healthy skin and eyes.


Pomegreat, the UK's number one pomegranate juice drink, is introducing Pomegreat Pure into is pomegranate juice portfolio. The 100% pomegranate juice, made not from concentrate, is aimed at health seeking purists who want the antioxidant health benefits of the pomegranate fruit in its purest form. Pomegreat Pure will be available in the chiller cabinet of Waitrose stores in a 500ml bottle.
It is a blend of two varieties of hand cut pomegranates and, at £3.29, it will strengthen the brand's positioning as a premium adult juice drink.

For a limited time period, Coors Brewers are launching a price-marked Carling Hicone pack in the wholesale channel to support the growing popularity of price-marked packs within independent retailers.  The 2008 Cash & Carry Retailer study conducted by HIM concluded that 66% of retailers think that price marking is effective in promoting products and generating a consumer rate of sale.  The launch of the Carling Hicone price-marked pack supports a pull through strategy on the largest SKU within the Carling portfolio.

Unilever UK is adding an exhilarating new samba-inspired variant to Lynx, the UK's number one male toiletries brand. Lynx Fever launches across the shower gel and body spray categories in mid-November and is supported by a £3m marketing campaign.

Diageo
Great Britain has unveiled its Christmas gift packs for Talisker single malt Scotch whisky and Bushmills Irish whiskey, as well as ultra-premium brand Johnnie Walker Blue Label blended Scotch whisky. According to Diageo, alcohol is the leading gifting category by volume in grocery, making up 65% of all gifts bought during the festive season and last Christmas £112m was spent on alcohol bought as a gift in grocers.
