Rockstar Launches Live Loud Rebrand, Taps Tyler Reddick to Rebuild Share

1 articles · Updated · Marketing Dive · Jul 13

Summary

  • Celsius-owned Rockstar has rolled out a “Live Loud” identity that restores the brand’s yellow color scheme and leans back into its disruptive, traditional-energy positioning after years of market-share erosion.
  • A multiyear deal with NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick is central to that push, giving Rockstar exposure in the East and South—regions where executives say the brand has recently lost ground.
  • Rockstar is also shifting marketing toward smaller music festivals, local venues and emerging artists rather than mass-market events, aiming to reconnect with younger consumers through subcultures tied to the brand’s roots.
  • The revamp comes as Celsius expands investment across its portfolio after posting record first-quarter revenue of $783 million, more than 20% U.S. energy-beverage dollar share and 2025 revenue growth of 85.5% to $2.5 billion.
