- Evolution Fresh launches new campaign “Take a Sip in a Brighter Direction”
Seattle, 2017-Jan-10 — /EPR Retail News/ — After cookie baking, gift shopping and holiday entertaining come to an end, many of us embark on another annual tradition: setting New Year’s resolutions.
While they are easy to claim, resolutions can be hard to keep. Evolution Fresh has set out to help those looking to make positive changes with the company’s new campaign, “Take a Sip in a Brighter Direction,” which kicks off today (January 5, 2017) and includes a celebration of National Green Juice Day January 26.
“Our mission is to help people live better and inspire them to thrive,” said Anne Williams, vice president, Marketing and Category for Evolution Fresh. “This campaign is about making small changes to your existing routine. Doing small things each day will help you gain momentum, feel good and keep going until you reach your goals.”

As a healthy dose of motivation throughout the campaign, Evolution Fresh invites customers to inspire one another and celebrate even the smallest steps, or “sips,” in a healthier direction on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook using #mysmallsip. The aim is to create a larger, celebratory, healthy lifestyle conversation and provide a more attainable and sustainable alternative to drastic New Year’s resolutions. The focus is not sacrifice. It is about embracing simple, enjoyable and nurturing choices people make throughout the day.
“We want people to know that they’re not alone,” Williams said. “And that ‘small sips’ can be defined in many ways, whether it’s writing down daily reflections in a journal, changing the way you eat or simply making a point to smile when you wake up in the morning.”
One Sip at a Time
Eating more fruits and vegetables is an aspiration for 81 percent of Americans, according to a 2016 study by the International Food Information Council*. Evolution Fresh offers a line of cold-pressed, high-pressure-processed juices for those who have listed this as a goal for 2017.
“Our cold-pressed, high-pressure processing method helps protect the flavor of our juices,” said Williams. “In addition to contributing to your daily dose of fruits and vegetables, our juices help you stay hydrated and maintain energy throughout the day.”
Evolution Fresh also invites customers to get creative in the kitchen by providing easy recipes for smoothies, salad dressings and more, which can be found online at EvolutionFresh.com. This is another way to incorporate fruits and vegetables into a breakfast, lunch or dinner menu.
“There are many who want to live better, but think it’s beyond them or takes too much effort,” she said. “We offer tips and recipes to make wellness goals easier to attain, particularly in a time when we all lead busy lives.”
