Sloche

Campaign (2000) to launch Sloche, a soft drink aimed at teenagers/youth, launched by retailer Couche-Tard (Quebec) as a house brand to compete against the dominant leader Slush Puppie.

Sloche

Executive Summary

Couche-Tard is a retailer similar to 7-11, and competition is fierce. Supermarkets, superstores, warehouse stores, convenience stores, and gas stations are just some of the direct competitors. That's why in Spring 2000 Couche-Tard decided to launch a house brand to compete against Slush Puppie the dominant leader for more than 20 years.

The objective was to build appeal with 9- to 18-year-olds, a hugely important target for convenience stores. The new brand, Sloche, was launched in June 2000, when the advertising noise for refreshment drinks is close to deafening.
