 Introduces Coffee-Flavored Smoothies

ATLANTA -- Planet Smoothie, one of the country's most sought after smoothie concepts, today announced it has partnered with NESCAFEe, a NestlE[umlaut] beverage brand, to develop the most enlivening, superfantastic, energyriffic coffee concoctions ever createdC*blended coffee beverages for the planet's smoothie-lovin' and coffee-driven population.

Beginning this month, every Planet Smoothie on Earth will offer these four unique coffee flavored smoothies: Java the Nut (mocha Mocha (mō`kə), town (1990 est. pop. 2,000), S Yemen, a port on the Red Sea.

Made with NESCAFEe specialty coffee concentrates, the smoothies appeal to the convenience-driven, active consumer.

Planet Smoothie collaborated with Deep Advertising, a NestlE[umlaut] FoodServices agency, to develop the creative surrounding this launch. This national campaign has a viral tone and relies heavily on in-store promotion. Deep Advertising created counter cards, danglers, vertical signs and t-shirts to be distributed in all 123 Planet Smoothie locations. The tagline of the exaggerated and bold print campaign is "Drink Up," and it features four distinct cartoon sketches - one for each of the new smoothies. The palette is soft pink, yellow, blue and green, and smartly contradicts brash illustrations.

"We recognize that recent medical studies have linked coffee with a number of significant health benefits," explains Chris Morocco, president of Planet Smoothie. "As a health-aware brand, it is important to us that Planet Smoothie continues to offer innovative, healthier options to consumers - good-for-you snacks, nutrient-rich smoothiesC*and now, coffee smoothies. All of our offerings are meant to provide nourishing fuel for people on the go."
