THE CHALLENGE
Despite its superior product and environmental ethos, Icelandic Glacial™ needed to increase visibility and cultural relevancy among U.S. consumers. The challenge was to shift the perception of bottled water from a basic commodity to a lifestyle staple associated with luxury, celebrity, and entertainment—without sacrificing authenticity.

ICELANDIC GLACIAL BRAND INTEGRATION IN FRANKLIN & BASH EPISODE
CHANNELS + SERVICES
A comprehensive, multi-touchpoint strategy was developed to elevate Icelandic Glacial™’s visibility within the entertainment space while reinforcing its premium positioning across culture-driving platforms.
SNA Communications identified and executed a high-impact product integration strategy, partnering with the production team of the hit CBS series The Big Bang Theory. Strategic placement across multiple episodes organically introduced the brand to a mainstream, highly engaged television audience, reinforcing the lifestyle narrative and enhancing long-term brand recall.
To extend reach beyond scripted media, experiential and influencer-driven opportunities were activated through premium event partnerships. Icelandic Glacial™ served as the exclusive water partner for high-profile gatherings including the John Varvatos event, where celebrity attendees such as Amy Adams and LL Cool J engaged with the product, and the Kentucky Derby Ladies Luncheon, hosted by lifestyle personality Courtney Sixx. These events created content-rich environments for talent interaction, press coverage, and social amplification.
A layered approach to talent and influencer marketing was also employed to drive authentic endorsements and encourage social engagement. Customized audience targeting across social channels ensured that both new and existing consumers were reached with relevant, brand-aligned messaging.
The result was a full-funnel brand integration effort that leveraged entertainment, celebrity affinity, and experiential touchpoints to drive awareness, spark purchase intent, and build long-term cultural equity for Icelandic Glacial™.



NO-NONSENSE KIND OF RESULTS
Icelandic Glacial™ experienced a substantial lift in brand visibility and consumer engagement as a result of the entertainment-driven campaign. The product’s placement across three episodes of The Big Bang Theory delivered exposure to over 42 million viewers, generating a surge in brand recognition and driving meaningful shifts in consumer behavior. Celebrity-driven event activations further amplified reach across key lifestyle verticals. Strategic sponsorships at the John Varvatos event and the Kentucky Derby Ladies Luncheon resulted in a measurable uptick in social media engagement and influencer-led content. Together, these efforts not only elevated Icelandic Glacial’s cultural cachet but also positioned the brand as a go-to premium water choice among entertainment-savvy, trend-conscious consumers.
