Ampersand takes its name from the symbol - & - reinforcing the company’s value to provide beverages that can be easily added to, enhanced and experimented with by consumers. The term ‘add whatever you want’ is a common tagline of their marketing campaigns.
The initial concept for “Vodka, Soda, &” was developed to provide consumers with a ‘vodka and soda’ in the convenience of a can. As the first to market with this concept, the “Vodka, Soda, &” cans are easily recognised by their clean, minimalistic branding and innovative, open aperture-ended can allowing consumers to add their own lime and/or fresh garnish.
In keeping with a consumer – focused business model, Ampersand Projects has not only developed a range of beverages and pack-types to suit their consumers, but has also been successful in developing a cult-like following with their consumers through a highly successful social media presence.
Ampersand Projects is excited to announce its next ‘industry first’: its new 355ml aluminium bottle. This is the first of its kind with a 30mm bottle opening making it easier than ever for consumers to “add whatever you want”. This pack-type also keeps beverages cooler for longer, can be re-sealed and it’s 100% recyclable.
In a recent survey, consumers also said the aluminium bottle is easier and more enjoyable to drink from. This innovative game-changer is another example of how Ampersand Projects has the consumer at the heart of its business.
