Red Bull
The Red Bull slogan that launched the energy drink industry. Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz discovered a Thai energy drink that cured his jet lag, adapted the formula, and created the perfect marketing campaign. After paying $13M to settle a lawsuit, they cleverly changed it to “wiiings.”
Hype Energy
Before Monster roared and Bang exploded, this Dutch energy drink was building hype across Europe. Nearly 30 years later, they’re still feeling it. The slogan proved that sometimes the simplest slogans have the longest staying power.
Rockstar Energy
Russell Weiner (the founder of Rockstar Energy) dropped the mic with this one. He doubled Red Bull’s can size for the same price and connected with rock culture perfectly. PepsiCo saw the genius and bought them for $3.85 billion in 2020. That’s one expensive party.
Monster Energy
Hansen Natural went from a wholesome juice company to an aggressive energy giant overnight with Monster Energy. Those iconic claw marks weren’t just design—they were a declaration of war on Red Bull’s dominance. Since its launch, they’ve filed 1,000+ lawsuits protecting their “beast” territory.
Full Throttle Energy
When Coca-Cola entered the energy drink game, they launched Full Throttle with a bang. This all-or-nothing attitude captured extreme sports culture perfectly. They even partnered with hip-hop legend Big Boi to promote the drink.
5-Hour Energy
Manoj Bhargava revolutionized everything with tiny 2oz shots instead of giant cans. No flashy ads, just word-of-mouth magic that created an entirely new category. Less really can be more if you play your cards right.
NOS Energy
Racing culture meets YOLO mentality. Named after nitrous oxide systems that make cars fly, this Coca-Cola-owned brand connected energy drinks to automotive adrenaline. Perfect for gym rats and speed demons who live life in the fast lane.
Celsius
The fitness revolution needed its own energy drink, and Celsius delivered. This health-conscious brand skyrocketed during the wellness boom, proving that energy drinks could be both powerful and clean. Their stock even outperformed Tesla.
Bang Energy
VPX Sports created the ultimate pre-workout energy drink with 300mg of caffeine and zero calories. “Fuel Your Grind” became the battle cry of serious athletes and fitness influencers. Monster eventually acquired them, recognizing their disruptive power.
Reign Total Body Fuel
Monster’s answer to the clean energy trend. When consumers demanded natural ingredients without sacrificing performance, Reign delivered with this straightforward promise. Proving that honesty is the best marketing plan.
Hydrive Energy Water
Who said energy drinks had to be carbonated? This innovative brand combined hydration with energy, targeting consumers who wanted fuel without the fizz. Clean, simple, effective—the anti-energy drink energy drink.
Sting Energy Drink
From Thailand to global markets, Sting brought Asian energy drink innovation worldwide. Their bold promise of “extreme” everything resonated with consumers craving intensity in both flavor and effect. The slogan was two promises in four words.
Burn Energy Drink
This Coca-Cola energy drink venture brought literal heat to the category. This fiery slogan captured the burning sensation and energy boost perfectly. It helped the cola giant cut its way through the noise.
Xyience Energy
The UFC’s official energy drink proved you could have performance without compromise. This dual promise and its slogan addressed taste and calories.
Full Throttle
Coca-Cola’s backup slogan for Full Throttle targeted blue-collar workers who needed sustained energy without complicated ingredients. Simple, honest, effective. The campaign was perfect for the hardworking demographic they wanted to capture.
Power Horse Energy Drinks
One of the earliest energy drink slogans, this Austrian brand (yes, another Austrian pioneer) focused on personal empowerment rather than just energy. A motivational approach that predated the self-improvement trend by decades.
V Energy
Leave it to Australia to create the most honest energy drink slogan ever. This cheeky, self-aware tagline perfectly captures Aussie humor while delivering on the energy promise. Massive hit? Check. Improves you? Just a bit.
