In recent years, the creator economy has witnessed a remarkable surge, empowering individuals to leverage their creativity and online influence to build successful businesses. This emerging landscape has not only revolutionized the way content is produced and consumed but has also provided opportunities for celebrities to extend their brand presence beyond traditional realms.
As the demand for healthier lifestyle choices and non-alcoholic options grows, several celebrities and creators have enthusiastically endorsed or even created their own non-alcoholic beverage brands.
Let's dive into the world of these renowned figures and the enticing beverage brands they are associated with.
JUST Water | Jaden Smith
Son of actor and philanthropist Will Smith, Jaden Smith co-founded JUST Water, a sustainable and environmentally conscious brand, in 2015. Recognizing the urgent need to reduce plastic waste, Smith's vision was to create a responsibly sourced and packaged bottled water alternative. JUST Water reconceived the water bottle with its innovative packaging. Instead of using petroleum-based (or even recycled) plastic, JUST Water's carton is made up of nearly 90 percent plant-derived materials. Smith's involvement showcases his dedication to environmental sustainability and encourages others to make conscious choices regarding the products they consume.
