Famous for their “uncompromisingly good craft soft drinks”, GUNNA has created the new mascots to help their loyal consumers battle the blandness of lockdown. The fab four are:
· Steely – the graffitiing lion
· DJ Rebel – the monkey
· Boris – the bear mixologist
· Flame – the fashionista flamingo
In a bid to #BattleTheBland, as well as Steely’s East End mural, the four mascots re-enacted the famous Abbey Road cover from The Beatles, while Flame strolled through Regent’s Park in a glamorous, pink outfit – complete with pink poodles!
CEO and founder Melvin Jay comments:
“We’re delighted that lockdown measures are beginning to ease, allowing our mascots – who have a very simple mission, to #BattleTheBland – entertain our loyal customers.
The mascots had a great time roaming around London! We’re particularly proud of Steely’s ‘COVID tapestry’, which chronicles some of the more controversial moments from lockdown. We’d like to try and inspire our consumers to keep their head up because as Steely says ‘Better Days are Coming.”
