Case Studies

FLOW WATER

Flow Water is an Ontario-based company that packages naturally-alkaline spring water in eco-friendly Tetra Paks. When CEO and founder Nicholas Reichenbach approached us in 2015, they had a vision to source water from their family’s artesian spring in Ontario’s Bruce County. We were struck by their environmental commitment to be a socially-responsible water company.

Working closely with Nicholas and his team, we developed and executed a comprehensive strategy to build Flow Water as a premium water brand. Highlights include:

  • securing a $1 million investment
  • arranging strategic partnerships with key influencers and retailers
  • executing a robust marketing, public relations and social media strategy.

Since their founding, Flow Water has grown exponentially and now has an extensive distribution network with over 7,500 retail outlets across North America as well as home and office delivery. The company is also highly-regarded as a responsible water brand with a socially-conscious mandate focused on sustainability and making a positive impact on the world.
