During his career, Chicago Bulls point guard, Lonzo Ball has had highs and some setbacks. Through it all, Ball never lost his focus and kept his good energy going. Continuing his partnership with BuzzBallz, the popular basketball player encourages everyone to keep that fun going by enjoying another round on the cocktail brand.
As the number one selling single-serve premixed cocktail brand, BuzzBallz captured the market by being both easy and entertaining. Instead of just grabbing another can, the ball shaped container makes an impression even before it is opened. There is a sense of whimsy that just sets the tone for any gathering.
More importantly, it is the flavors that drive people to make another purchase. The hugely popular Berry Cherry Limeade is the brand’s best selling flavor. It captures what the brand does best, blending a familiar, fun, and flavorful beverage in convenient packaging.
Recently, BuzzBallz released a BuzzBallz Biggie. The 200 mL offering launched ahead of the college basketball playoff season. The idea was that the bigger container would help fans power through all the full-court mayhem. From disappointing loses to epic wins, that refreshing libation would be there to toast every moment.
Since some people might be disappointed with their basketball win predictions, BuzzBallz wants to add some levity to the situation. For people whose win percentage is less than perfect and it made them blue, they can claim one of the BuzzBallz’s 1,000 Biggies of its Berry Cherry Limeade flavor for free.
