SUMMARY
Ocean Spray is a 90-year-old farmer-owned cooperative striving to stay relevant and appeal to a Millennial and Gen Z audience. Lightning struck when Idaho potato worker Nathan Apodaca (@420doggface208) went viral riding his longboard, drinking Ocean Spray, and singing Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” Ocean Spray let the TikTok popularity grow organically, learning that Nathan’s truck broke down while heading to work. In response, Ocean Spray gifted Apodaca a cranberry-red truck filled with Cran-Raspberry® and the “Dreams Challenge” took off as sales grew 20% and social following increased 633%.
