Juice It Up! Announces Brand Ambassador To Be New Face Of Company

Brand Ambassador Aligns with the Company’s Brand Transition and Genuine Passion for Health and Wellbeing.

Irvine, CA (USA), Tuesday – July 31st, 2012 — Juice It Up! ( http://www.juiceitup.com ) has recently announced the addition of a brand ambassador to bring a face to the company for the first time in the juice and smoothie chains history. After a careful selection process, Orange resident Katie Gladding was chosen to represent the brand. The decision to adopt a brand spokesperson aligns with the companys efforts to revamp their look and messaging as they continue to position themselves as advocates of healthy choices and healthy lifestyles for their consumers.

As we work to remain a leader in the juice marketplace, we wanted to find someone who was genuine, healthy and passionate about a juicing lifestyle and had a story that resonates with others in the community, said Frank Easterbrook, president and CEO at Juice It Up! Katie met and exceeded these criteria and her commitment to health and wellbeing and inspiring others to do the same meshes perfectly with the core vision of our company.

On the hunt for the perfect candidate, Easterbrook knew the brand ambassador should relate to Juice It Up!s products, believe and validate the brand through various threads of communication, provide a genuine face to connect emotionally with target consumers to drive brand engagement, have long-term potential to speak to the campaign, and truly be an ambassador to the companys history and unique story.

Gladding will be supporting the brand in several important ways. She will be the face in various NBC television advertisements, featured in Juice It Up!s in-store advertisements, on the companys website, Facebook fan page and Pinterest boards. Gladding will be creating and sharing healthy posts, photos and videos online. She will also be participating in several Juice It Up! events throughout the year. Her Facebook page can be found at http://www.facebook.com/juiceitupkatiegladding and you can follow her on Pinterest at http://www.pinterest.com/juiceitup.

Being the brand ambassador for Juice It Up! is an amazing opportunity for me to encourage others to adopt a healthy lifestyle, said Gladding. Living a healthy and active lifestyle is so incredibly rewarding and its not as difficult as it might seem! Im looking forward to sharing my passion with others and helping them look and feel better than they ever have and empower them to make proactive choices they believe in.
