Liquid Death's Mike Cessario on Building an Uncopyable Brand
Mike Cessario, who founded Liquid Death in 2019 after a career in ad creative, explains the beverage brand’s strategy of using comedy and entertainment as its primary competitive moat. Liquid Death has expanded from bottled water into sparkling water, iced tea and energy drinks and has generated “hundreds of millions” in revenue. The company produced a Super Bowl ad internally for $300,000. Cessario argues most consumer products are commoditized, so brands must win via memorability, emotional connection or price. He compares Liquid Death’s approach to the Red Bull playbook but focused on comedy, and highlights the significant operational challenge of retail distribution — including limitations of DSD networks owned by large beverage companies and the gap between retail authorization and actual shelf presence.
Liquid Death and Pop-Tarts Launch Pop-Tarts Carnage Tea
Liquid Death and Pop-Tarts have collaborated to release a limited-edition iced tea called Pop-Tarts Carnage, flavored like Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts and packaged in Liquid Death’s signature death metal can. Liquid Death’s in-house production arm, Death Machine, created an accompanying ad showing a mundane domestic scene transformed into chaotic revelry after characters drink the beverage. Andy Pearson, vice president of creative at Liquid Death, said the teams pursued the collaboration as a creative and flavor pairing. The campaign continues Liquid Death’s pattern of offbeat brand partnerships and references recent Liquid Death collaborations with Spotify and e.l.f. Cosmetics. The article also notes Pop-Tarts’ history of eccentric marketing, including a 2023 Pop-Tarts Bowl activation featuring an “Edible Mascot.”
Liquid Death, Garage Beer Launch 'We Want Your Pee' Campaign
Liquid Death and Garage Beer launched a joint advertising campaign called “We Want Your Pee,” a comedic spot starring Garage Beer co-owner and former NFL player Jason Kelce and Liquid Death’s mascot Murder Man. The film frames sending human urine to AI data centers as a tongue-in-cheek solution to the sector’s heavy water use. The spot will run on both brands’ social channels and connected-TV (CTV). The campaign references growing public opposition to data-center construction, citing a Gallup poll and local moratoriums reported in major outlets.
