ION8, one of the fastest growing hydration specialists in Europe, has partnered with Rovio to release an eye-catching series of Angry Birds water bottles that aim to make hydration fun for all ages.
In a deal facilitated by Angry Birds’ global licensing agency IMG, the companies came together to release 10 bespoke bottles made out of a mix of eco-friendly Recyclon™ and stainless steel, featuring fan-favourite Angry Birds characters in stunning raised prints.
ION8 bottles all feature an exclusive full flip-lid with integrated carry handle and sliding safety lock to make sure the bottle never leaks.
Effortless and stylish with on-trend colours, the bottles’ 3D prints and designs are inspired by environments and characters from well-known games and movies.
Dishwasher safe, with durable scratch resistant powder paints, all products are certified carbon neutral making them ideal for drinking on the go.
“We are delighted to be able to extend our rapidly growing range with these exciting Angry Birds designs." said Sheryar Adam, Director at ION8.
"The franchise has always promoted movement, activity, and fun – and what better way to recover than making sure to hydrate!
“Whilst we have traditionally designed products in-house, we are very excited to be able to join forces with Red, Chuck, Bomb and the rest of the Bird Gang to bring this message to Angry Birds fans all over Europe.”
Katri Chacona, Director Brand Licensing, added:
“We are excited about this wonderful range of Angry Birds water bottles.
It’s a great new category for the brand and a fun way for the fans to keep themselves hydrated,”
With over 5 billion downloads, 25m social media followers and brand awareness pegged at 96%, Angry Birds continues to delight fans everywhere and is as relevant today as ever.
Two new Angry Birds games, Angry Birds Journey, and the premium game Angry Birds Classic, have launched this year along with long form Netflix series Angry Birds: Summer Madness.
New location-based entertainment experiences as well as crossovers with other games such as Minecraft and Roblox ensure the brand is finding new audiences continuously.
The water bottles are now available for purchase on Amazon across all of Europe, our website and the offical Angry Birds Store.
