Caleb Williams and AC+ION® Water Team Up in New "Get Seriously Hydrated" Campaign

In addition to the ad campaign, the company that owns the AC+ION® brand will also be donating up to $76,000 to the USC Quarterback's foundation, Caleb Cares, which focuses on youth empowerment, anti-bullying initiatives, and improving mental health

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- How does the hottest quarterback in college football cool off? For USC's Caleb Williams, who has set the sport on fire with his blazing start to the season, it's AC+ION® water. Now Williams shares one of the secrets to his success, starring in the company's "Get Seriously Hydrated" campaign. Debuting in his first commercial ad, Williams shows off some swagger—and his rocket of an arm—in the videos, which will run across traditional linear TV, digital and social channels.

"Most water ads are the same working out and thirst-quenching videos. We wanted to do something different for this spot and make a more light-hearted and fun campaign by showing a little bit of Caleb's playful personality - something you may not get to see when he's super-focused throwing touchdowns on a Saturday game day." Mike Thiel, Senior Brand Lead for the AC+ION brand said.

"AC+ION water has really become part of my daily routine, so I was thrilled when I got a chance to be part of this campaign. I have never done something like this before which made it a lot of fun, especially since I got to film it with some of my teammates who are in one of the videos" said Quarterback Caleb Williams.

As part of their collaboration, the company that owns the AC+ION® brand will also be supporting Williams' foundation, Caleb Cares, which helps empower the youth by anti- bullying and mental health awareness initiatives. The company will donate $50,000 plus $1,300 for every touchdown Caleb scores (he's number 13), until it hits a grand total of $76,000. In addition, the company has pledged to donate water and t-shirts at Caleb Cares events for students in the Los Angeles and DMV area.

"One of the main things that drew us to working with Caleb, was the fact that even at a young age, he has already taken action and created his own foundation. We want to support him and his foundation's goals however we can. So, coming up with a unique way to not only give money to Caleb Cares but make it fun by tying it back to his jersey number, 13, and giving an additional $1,300 dollars each touchdown, will make following this through the season even more exciting." says Mike Thiel.

"Working with AC+ION has been nothing but short of amazing. They have gone beyond and above in our partnership, not only including me in this great campaign, but being willing to give back to my foundation Caleb Cares as part of it, means a lot to me," Williams says.
