As sponsored athletes you obviously need to promote the brand and companies that are supporting you, but is there a line where it's just too much and actually hurting the brand?
Over the course of this years SX season my IG has been plastered with Rockstar MX athletes uploading a "casual" photo while promoting the brand.
These beverages don't appeal to me, but as someone who works a lot in the marketing industry these posts look way too forced and in my opinion look bad on the brand.
I'm sure it's gained some new customers, but those that have been tricked into the marketing scheme are most likely the same ones who think podium riders are actually drinking an energy drink after racing on the podium.
...Let's keep this a friendly discussion LOL.

The Shop
Unfollow is an option.
I personally don't drink any of that crap anymore. They are trying to sell a product though and little Jimmy and Timmy just watch Ando grab a Rockstar out of a gas station fridge.
I'm passed the age of influence. If I like something, I buy it, if I don't like it, I don't. People posting about energy drinks or whatever other products won't change my mind.
I know he was sick, probably had dirt in his mouth, and that there is a 99.9% chance it was water in the can, but I couldn't help laugh anyway for the message he appeared to be sending.
Pit Row
Don’t be a sellout.
It.... it has what plants crave, dude. I don't understand. It's got electrolytes.

I am confused, maybe I need some caffeine to concentrate enough to think about this, or maybe I need a toke to relax me enough to think about this....
I'd take notes if I were you. Those guys are masters at the field that you "work a lot in"......
