Scan for Sonic Nourishment

What if opening a bottle of vitaminwater did more than just quench your thirst? With the "Scan for Sonic Nourishment" campaign, we transformed vitaminwater zero sugar bottles into gateways to a new kind of refreshment. Using Amazon’s innovative scanning technology, customers could scan their bottles with the Amazon app to unlock curated playlists on Amazon Music. Each playlist, inspired by hero flavors XXX, With Love, and Forever You, turned every sip into a sonic experience.

Unlocking the Experience

Leveraging AWS’s image and text recognition technology, we introduced a seamless way to access exclusive content. By simply scanning a vitaminwater zero sugar bottle, customers unlocked music playlists perfectly matched to the new flavors, transforming each bottle into a key to a curated sonic journey.

Amazon Music

We partnered with Amazon Music to curate playlists that embodied the unique personalities of each vitaminwater flavor. Forever You is youthful and energetic, With Love is calm and warm, and XXX is all about being sensual and sexxxy.
