    What You'll Be Doing

    VitalBoost Energy is a new premium energy drink startup that differentiates itself from Red Bull and Monster through natural ingredients and wellness positioning. Founded by former college athletes, the brand targets health-conscious consumers who want sustained energy without the crash. Use AI assistants (ChatGPT/Claude) to research, design, and present a social strategy that could help an energy drink brand reach college students looking for energy, focus, and community.

    • Positioning: "Clean energy for ambitious goals"
