Specialist food and drink marketing and branding company, Brand Relations, is showcasing five new drink brands, which the company has developed and branded, and will be launched to consumers later this year.
Brand Relations has worked with the founders of these new drinks from the very start helping to develop the recipes, source the ingredients, research and test the market, and develop the packaging and branding. The Brand Relations team has taken five great ideas and turned them into commercial realities.
The five drinks are:

“I am very proud of the work the team has done on all five of these fabulous brands. We love to take an idea from a creative founder and help them turn it into a reality. We helped each of these founders navigate the tricky path from home recipe to commercially viable product, with plenty of market-testing along the way! All five of these drinks have the potential to be big hits with consumers.” said Richard Horwell, a drinks industry veteran and founder of Brand Relations.
“Working with Brand Relations has really helped us take a fledgling idea and turn it into something that tastes great and meets the requirements of wholesalers, stockists and, of course, consumers. And IFE is a great place to launch the brand.” said Anna Shabalina of Skinnytails
