The integrated partnership comes on the heels of Propel's eighth consecutive year of growth, and the unveiling of a new brand identity designed to reinforce how the portfolio of products supports the functional needs of everyday exercisers.
Reestablishing the brand as a modern fitness authority, Propel's updated visual identity highlights the efficacy of the electrolyte water, backed by Gatorade science. The new dynamic design will be featured across Propel's portfolio of offerings anchoring the brand's purpose of providing functionality for exercisers in their moments of sweat. Through its partnership with Jordan, both on and off screen, Propel is creating more opportunities to motivate and inspire exercisers as they progress in their fitness goals.
"We want to be front and center for exercisers both functionally, with our product backed by Gatorade electrolytes, and purposefully, by creating opportunities for movement in communities," said Anuj Bhasin, Chief Brand Officer at Gatorade Brands. "That's why we are so excited to be working with Michael B. Jordan, someone who has been a creative partner from the start, and embodies what it means to drive forward, unlock your potential and use your platform to encourage others to do the same."
The refreshed look and feel, which includes a new logo and design across the brand's entire product portfolio, started rolling out early this year and is expected to be completed by summer 2023.
