  • We are thrilled to share that Molson Coors Beverage Company is taking a majority stake in ZOA Energy.    “Since day one, Molson Coors has shared our passion for ZOA Energy, and as a partner, they’ve been pivotal to bringing new consumers into the energy space with ZOA and keeping them coming back,” said our co-founder, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. "ZOA is all about crafting drinks that help our loyal and growing consumers show up as their best selves every day, and Molson Coors’ commitment to the brand will give it an enormous amount of firepower in the next phase of growth.”   We look forward to expanding this partnership and continuing to grow the business in years to come. 💪⚡️

    Big news: Molson Coors is taking a majority stake in ZOA Energy, the better-for-you energy drink brand co-founded by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Dany Garcia, Dave Rienzi and John Shulman. As we transform our portfolio in beer and beyond, this move makes us excited for many reasons: ✓ 30% of ZOA buyers are new to the category ✓ 50% repeat purchase rate ✓ Top-10 energy drink on leading eCommerce platforms like Amazon ✓ Highly incremental to our portfolio As the new majority owner of the brand, we now have the ability to lead on marketing, retail, and direct to consumer sales development – and we see ample opportunity for growth in the surging better-for-you energy space, which is outpacing the general energy category. Our Chief Commercial Officer Michelle St. Jacques described the opportunity this way: “We’re building a winning portfolio that offers consumers choices across a wide range of occasions, and non-alc is a key part of that strategy,” said St. Jacques. “ZOA opens the door for us to participate in more parts of the day and incremental opportunities beyond our core business. We’ve built a strong foundation with ZOA over the past three years and we see a lot of opportunity for this brand to achieve its next stage of growth and scale.”  Learn more about our decision here: https://bit.ly/3AulYqi

    Dany Garcia, our 2024 ADWEEK | ADCOLOR Beacon Award honoree (and cover star!), is redefining entrepreneurship to build a sports and entertainment empire.  Garcia was part of a consortium that bought the pro football minor league XFL, making her the first woman to first woman to own co-equal or majority ownership stake in a major professional sports league in the United States. Earlier this year, the XFL merged with the USFL and became the United Football League (UFL), with Garcia retaining a minority stake. The nature of Garcia’s story, and how she’s epitomizing what women of color can be, have made her the 2024 Beacon Award honoree, selected by ADWEEK in partnership with ADCOLOR Conference and Awards.

  • Next up in our Big Dwayne Energy employee spotlight series, where we showcase our incredible team is... Drew Gerolimos - Director of Sales, Central and East ⚡️ 1. What is your Big Dwayne Energy that you bring to ZOA?  Not sure if it’s what I bring, it’s about how the Team brings Big Dwayne Energy to ZOA every day. The people on the Central and East Coast teams go to market every day, regardless of what type of account they go into, whether it’s a convenient store or a large format chain store, bringing this incredible vibe with them. That’s what represents Big Dwayne Energy, and they represent me. I couldn’t be prouder of the ZOA Team. 2. What is your favorite thing about working at ZOA? I feel like I’m going to give the standard answer; it’s the people. It all starts with leadership. When anyone in the company can call the CEO, SVP of Sales, VP National Accounts, CMO, or Chief People Officer, and get an answer from them, that matters to the people in the company. At ZOA, it doesn’t matter what job title you might have; it matters that you’re heard. Always remember, people will respect that more than anything. 3. What is one song you could listen to every day for the rest of your life?  I am really into Jelly Roll right now. That man can’t make a bad song, so I guess anything from Jelly Roll or maybe Kid Rock. I love too many songs to pick just one. 4. What is your favorite ZOA flavor and why?  Why, why do I only get one when I have the whole portfolio at my fingertips? Okay, but I refuse to pick just one: Mango Splash and Green Apple! Mango Splash tastes more like a juice than an energy drink, it definitely stands out in flavor. For Green Apple, the flavor is in your face. It’s almost like you’re taking a bite out of a Green Apple. 5. What is your biggest Big Dwayne Energy moment?  One of my biggest Big Dwayne Energy moments was when I was tapped to lead the East region after leading the sales team in the Midwest. Not only was I up for the challenge, but I had proven my ability to take on more and serve in a larger role for ZOA. It was great to know the leadership team had faith in me and trusted me with both regions. #ZOAEnergy #BigDwayneEnergy #EmployeeSpotlight #Sales

  • Next up in our Big Dwayne Energy employee spotlight series, where we showcase our incredible team is... Jessica Easley - Territory Sales Manager, PNW⚡️ 1. How are you bringing Big Dwayne Energy to ZOA? I bring BDE to ZOA by embracing confidence, positivity, and enthusiasm! I approach everyone with a smile and a can-do attitude. I believe in the product wholeheartedly and I think that is contagious!   2. What is your favorite thing about working at ZOA? My favorite thing about working at ZOA is most definitely the people. The environment created by everyone is so positive and encouraging! Even though we are in different areas of the country, it feels as though we are all old friends who have each others’ best interest at heart, which is so motivating.   3. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? If I could only eat one meal for the rest of my life, it would have to be a great Bleu Cheese Bacon Burger with a side salad. I love a good burger with the contrast of a cold salad! Paired with a cold ZOA, it is the perfect meal!   4. What is your favorite ZOA flavor and why? My favorite ZOA flavor would have to be White Peach. I love that it tastes just like one of my favorite candies, a peach ring! It has the perfect balance of peach flavor without being overly sweet. Plus, it gives me just the perfect amount of pick-me-up to get through the workday!   5. What is your biggest Big Dwayne Energy moment? My biggest BDE moment is when Christine and I sold in a HUGE 80+ case cold box display into a QFC near my house that did not currently carry ZOA… not once, not twice, but 3 times! The buyer absolutely loves the product, and it sells incredibly well, which makes it just that much better! #ZOAEnergy #BigDwayneEnergy #EmployeeSpotlight #SalesManager

  • Next up in our Big Dwayne Energy employee spotlight series, where we showcase our incredible team is... Marian R. - Chief People Officer ⚡️ 1. How are you bringing Big Dwayne Energy to ZOA? "Big Dwayne Energy" embodies confidence, power, resilience, and a relentless drive to succeed. I endeavor to exemplify the same attributes and to foster them for the ultimate success of every ZOA Team member. 2. What is your favorite thing about working at ZOA? My favorite thing about working at ZOA is the comradery of the ZOA Team. I truly enjoy working alongside the team of professionals that are extremely talented and dedicated to building the ZOA brand and exemplifying the very best of Big Dwyane Energy. 3. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? To steal a line from the movie Forrest Gump, I could eat any meal with shrimp —fried, boiled, broiled, barbecued, etc. — every day. 4. What is your favorite ZOA flavor and why? Frosted Grape is my favorite flavor because it reminds me of a favorite from my youth (Grape Fanta), but I like that ZOA's grape contains nutrients that make it a much healthier option. 5. What is your biggest Big Dwayne Energy moment? My biggest Big Dwayne Energy moment occurred during a board meeting. The theme of my presentation for the meeting was “It’s all about the ZOA Team.” I stressed the importance of acknowledging that each member of the ZOA Team is critical to ZOA’s mission and success. As I was explaining the takeaway of my presentation, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson responded enthusiastically, “It’s all about the ZOA Team!” Knowing that my BDE matched Dwayne’s was extremely gratifying. #ZOAEnergy #BigDwayneEnergy #EmployeeSpotlight #ChiefPeopleOfficer

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Skirt Steak/Arrachera- So tender, so juicy, so delicious. 4.

Honorable mention to the best LTO 'Dwanta's Holiday Punch'. 5. What is your biggest Big Dwayne Energy moment?  Honestly, being nominated for the BDE employee spotlight. I take great pride in my work, and it's rewarding to be recognized within the company. #ZOAEnergy #BigDwayneEnergy #EmployeeSpotlight #Sales

  • Next up in our Big Dwayne Energy employee spotlight series, where we showcase our incredible team is... Olcomendy, George - VP, National Accounts ⚡️ 1. How are you bringing Big Dwayne Energy to ZOA? First, I truly believe that this brand is one of the best tasting energy drinks on the market. I am committed to making sure this brand is growing and is available across the country in all our leading retailers. If this product is not available, how can they experience the brand. I wake up every day energized to find ways for our retail partners to bring on ZOA Energy. BDE is a mindset that I carry across the organization to inspire others. 2. What is your favorite thing about working at ZOA? Definitely the people and the culture that has been developed here over the last 3 years. I come to work energized by the folks that surround me every day. By far, this has been the most fun and rewarding job I have had. Make no mistake, it's never easy but coming to work everyday here has been a moment in time that I will never forget. 3. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? It would have to be pasta. Any type. I cannot imagine not having an option in a meal selection that does not have pasta. I absolutely loved my mom’s homemade pasta sauce. 4. What is your favorite ZOA flavor and why? Frosted Grape. Can’t really figure out why, as grape has never really been a favorite flavor of mine but I LOVE ZOA Frosted Grape. 5. What is your biggest Big Dwayne Energy moment? Two moments stick out for me. First would be our XFL tie in with HEB. We had the opportunity for our founders meet and greet at HEB in-store and then experienced the XFL championship game with all in San Antonio. Second would be a most recent win, bringing Albertsons Companies on board nationally. It has been a work in the making for a long time and just being able to tell our entire team of the win, brought out a Big Dwayne Energy moment that I will not forget. #ZOAEnergy #BigDwayneEnergy #EmployeeSpotlight #SalesTeam
