7UP® LAUNCHES SUPER DUPER REFRESHER: ITS DYNAMIC GLOBAL PLATFORM TO OWN FUNCTIONAL REFRESHMENT
The global repositioning highlights 7UP's distinct ability to be the ultimate refreshment for any occasion, brought to life through product innovations and culturally resonant creative campaigns
DUBLIN, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 7UP® unveils Super Duper Refresher – a new global platform grounded in the science of what makes a drink truly refreshing – the fusion of flavour, fizz, and cold temperature. Backed by sensory research and consumer insight, the platform reinforces 7UP's role in delivering the perfect thirst-quenching sip. Through new product launches, creative campaigns and real-world experiences, 7UP is setting a new standard in functional refreshment – making every sip not just satisfying, but unmistakably 7UP.
Building on its multi-sensory approach, 7UP is also introducing a new music logo (MOGO) – a signature tune designed to capture the uplifting feeling of drinking a 7UP. Instantly recognisable and easy to recall, the sound adds a new layer to the brand experience and strengthens an emotional connection beyond the product itself.
Now rolling out across markets, Super Duper Refresher is coming to life in ways that resonate with local consumers – from cooling down at social gatherings to elevating meals and refreshing cocktails or mocktails. The platform is built to resonate in the moments that matter most. In key markets, such as India, Pakistan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, the campaign will adopt a playful, culturally tailored narrative under the banner of 'Super Duper Refresher,' blending regional culture, humour and colloquialism into the brand story.
This next chapter builds on nearly a century of heritage and innovation as 7UP expands its core portfolio, introducing new flavours and product ranges designed to tap into the core sensory elements of refreshment. These launches help demonstrate how local markets are owning the Super Duper Refresher platform – bringing it to life in bold new ways:
The 7UP Extra Fizz range, emphasising fizz as a key component of the drinking experience, is now available in Egypt, and UAE, with launches planned for Saudi Arabia this summer. To celebrate Super Duper Refresher, 7UP brought a one-of-a-kind activation to Dubai's Kite Beach. Inspired by a lifeguard tower, the unmissable 7UP Mixology Tower was the ultimate destination to cool off. Customers savoured perfectly chilled 7UP extra fizz and next-level mixes, while enjoying a full-body refreshment with a cocktail-shaker shaped water sprinkler and icy plunge pools.
7UP Mint Lemonade turns up the dial on refreshment in Pakistan, capturing Super Duper Refresher by offering a crisp, cooling twist that elevates each sip, offering that instant minty refreshment.
7UP Pink Lemonade is a vibrant take on the classic zero-sugar range, blending lemon-lime with a burst of tangy raspberry for a sweet new serve of Super Duper Refresher, now debuting in the UK.
With more flavours on the way, 7UP is drawing on local market insight to shape innovations that reflect evolving consumer tastes around the world.
Salman Butt, Senior Marketing Director at 7UP said: "Since its creation, 7UP has been bringing delicious beverages to the world, and we're continuously exploring different ways to refine and advance the Super Duper Refresher experience for today's consumer. Our commitment to innovation drives us to push boundaries – whether it's evolving core product formats or introducing exciting flavours to craft an undeniably thirst-quenching drink, 7UP will always stand apart as the ultimate choice in refreshment around the world."

Sultan of Brunei in talks to buy NYC's iconic Pierre Hotel: sources
The Sultan of Brunei is in talks to buy New York City's storied Pierre Hotel — where Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick owns a stunning triplex penthouse apartment, the Post has learned. Hassanal Bolkiah, who is both sultan and prime minister of the tiny kingdom in Southeast Asia, is partnering with Essam Khashoggi, brother of the late Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, according to a source close to the situation. Khashoggi is the uncle of the late Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was slaughtered inside the Saudi consulate in Turkey in 2018. 6 The Sultan of Brunei is in talks to buy New York City's storied Pierre Hotel — where Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick owns a stunning triplex penthouse apartment, the Post has learned. Annie Wermiel/NY Post Advertisement The landmarked hotel at 795 Fifth Ave. overlooking Central Park – which was put on the market last year – has been a favorite of A-listers and titans of industry since it opened its lavish doors in 1930. The sale of the hotel's 189 rooms, retail space and restaurants is complicated and far from a done deal, a source close to the situation told The Post. The sultan is a 'strong contender, but there are others,' the source said. The 41-story limestone-clad building – featuring neo-Georgian architecture modeled after Versailles – also has about 80 co-ops. Advertisement The sale could be for the whole property, which is valued at around $2 billion, the source said. The deal could involve some of the co-ops, or all of them. 'At this point, no one is sure how it will play out, but it is heading into one of those directions,' the source said. The Post reached out to the Brunei prime minister's office, its UN Mission in New York and its embassy in DC for comment.

Angel Chevrestt The shareholders own the property and have leased the Pierre to India-based Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces since 2005. While Lutnick is a shareholder, he is not a member of the board, sources told The Post. Lutnick and his wife, Allison, bought the Pierre penthouse triplex, the building's crown jewel, in 2017 for $44 million — which was $81 million off its original asking price. The 12,000 square-foot skypad first hit the market in 2013 for $125 million. The couple has never lived in the building, according to sources.. Advertisement 6 The sale could be for the whole property, which is valued at around $2 billion, the source said. Real estate broker Newmark Group, led by Doug Harmon, co-head of capital markets for the firm, is advising on the sale of the Pierre, sources told The Post. Harmon recently led the Newmark team that sold the Pierre's neighbor, 800 Fifth Ave., a 33-story luxury apartment building, to the Naftali Group for close to $820 million earlier this year. Harmon's top deals include selling Peter Cooper Stuyvesant Town for $5.45 billion and Starrett City for $905 million. Harmon declined to comment on the Pierre deal. Lutnick was the largest individual Newmark Group shareholder. 6 Hassanal Bolkiah, who is both sultan and prime minister of the tiny kingdom in Southeast Asia, is partnering with Essam Khashoggi, brother of the late Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi. via REUTERS Newmark, which is now a publicly traded company, is a spin-off of its former parent company, BGC Partners, and a majority of the voting power of BGC Partners is held by Cantor Fitzgerald. Lutnick headed the Wall Street financial services heavyweight for three decades, tragically losing his brother at the World Trade Center during the 9/11 terror attacks. Last month, Lutnick handed over the reins to his children 'who are in positions of learning,' as he serves in the Trump administration, the Wall Street Journal reported. Cantor Fitzgerald did not return requests for comment. Sources told The Post that whoever buys the hotel will determine the fate of the co-op owners, who will have to approve the deal. Advertisement The new owner could shut down the hotel and kick out the co-op owners for a period of time — or forever. 6 Lutnick and his wife, Allison, bought the Pierre penthouse triplex, the building's crown jewel, in 2017 for $44 million — which was $81 million off its original asking price. REUTERS 'It will all be flushed out in the wash. But nothing will happen without the shareholders voting on it,' the source said. If the co-op owners are booted for an extensive renovation, it could be five years before they are back, sources say. Advertisement It took the Chinese-government owned Waldorf Astoria hotel eight long years to renovate. The hotel is finally planning to reopen this September after multiple delays. 'Everybody is scared and no one is talking,' another source said, referring to the co-op owners. However, the insider added that while some owners do not want to leave, the compensation they will receive will be worth it. 'Whatever the disruption will be, it will be worth their while,' the source said. Advertisement The Pierre has always been associated with glamour and sophistication. 6 The shareholders own the property and have leased the Pierre to India-based Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces since 2005. Christopher Sadowski Coco Chanel stayed here during her first visit to the Big Apple in 1932. Sophia Loren also enjoyed staying at the hotel. Other stars who called the Pierre home included Audrey Hepburn, who celebrated her 1954 Oscar for 'Roman Holiday' at the hotel. In addition, apartment owner Elizabeth Taylor married Eddie Fisher there in 1959. Advertisement Guests over the years have included Barbra Streisand, Joan Collins, Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld. The iconic venue has also been in films like 'Oceans Eight,' where Anne Hathaway's character checks in to get ready for the Met Gala. John Paul Getty, founder of Getty Oil, bought the Pierre in 1938, reportedly calling it his only 'above-ground asset.' He converted part of the hotel into co-ops. Today, its other high profile co-op owners include fashion designer Tory Burch, media heiress Shari Redstone, musician Art Garfunkel and former Disney boss Michael Eisner.

Reddy launches the #1 simulation training platform at CCW Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reddy, the AI coaching platform redefining how customer experience (CX) teams train and develop their agents, today announced the launch of their Reddy 2.0 at Customer Contact Week (CCW) Las Vegas. This marks Reddy's second year of sponsoring at the world's largest CX event, and the most advanced set of features ever released for simulation training across the industry. Reddy 2.0 introduces a major leap forward in enterprise training with fully automated simulation creation, enhanced cross-functional collaboration tools for L&D and QA teams, further security and compliance certifications, and a brand refresh that embodies the platform's vision: transforming customer service agents into high-performing all-stars. Agent Training in the AI Era While much of the industry has rushed toward automation, research has raised caution. A Salesforce study released this week found that AI automation of customer service drops to just a 35% success on any interactions that require more than one step to resolve. This comes on the heels of Klarna's recent announcement that their pivot to full AI automation needed to be scaled back in order to restore human agents to their support model. While working on solving the long-term challenge of creating the complex, multi-turn AI agents of tomorrow, Reddy has bridged the gap with automation of training for better human agents today. In conjunction with the launch of their new features, Reddy also today signed their largest partner to date with over 2K global agents, after having validated gains in new hire performance during an initial piloting period that resulted in a 38x return on investment. Reddy 2.0 Launch Reddy's new features and branding are all designed around connecting various teams within enterprise CX organizations, allowing them to work together more easily to create the highest impact training programs for agents. Automated Simulation Authoring – L&D teams can now generate tailored simulations entirely using AI, with the ability to drop in existing materials to create realistic sandboxes of their complex interactions and systems. Changes to training programs and SOPs can now take instant effect inside of simulations, with the ability to test, version and publish across large content teams. Enterprise Collaboration Suite – Reddy has developed custom-built Learning Management, Knowledge Base and Project Management Systems that all reside inside of the platform and integrate with other common tools. This allows teams to consolidate information and updates in one streamlined workflow, ensuring that agents are always armed with the most up-to-date processes and materials. AI Privacy and Security – This week, Reddy received their SOC 2 Type 2 certification to go along with their HIPAA certification and PCI compliance. Reddy prides itself on the ability to pair software with change management, and in working closely together with Infosec and Procurement teams to navigate evolving policies around Generative AI. "Reddy brings together every team inside the contact center — from L&D to QA to team leads — making it easier than ever to turn agents into all-stars," said Adam Levin, Reddy's CEO and Co-Founder. "Our new design represents those connections, with a dynamic arrow-based system symbolizing the connections we create inside of one platform, and the forward momentum that Reddy helps agents achieve. They're handling more calls with confidence, resolving complex issues at a higher rate, and delivering happier customers for the brand."
