Viva launches first ginger flavoured malted food drink

Malted food drink brand Viva has reinvented and reignited the category as a thought leader, launching their all new Viva ginger flavour for local consumers.
The new Viva ginger flavour combines the goodness of milk and malt together with the comforting taste of ginger, which has been specially tailor made for Sri Lankan palates.Historically, the malted food drink market stuck to traditional malt for decades, leading to consumers experiencing boredom when they wanted to enjoy a tasty cup of tea.

“The new Viva ginger offers consumers an invigorating, tasty malted food drink,” said Dharshana Jayasinghe, Category Manager, GSK. “Sri Lankans will now have the choice to make their cup of tea a much tastier experience. Viva ginger will bring consumers an exciting and familiar taste of ginger by simply being added to a cup of plain tea.”

“Combining the energy from Viva and flavour of ginger makes the regular cup of tea a delightfully rich experience,” said Ravindra de Coonghe, Director Marketing, GSK. The introduction of the new Viva ginger flavour will be celebrated with the launch of Viva’s Facebook page. A mobile float will travel country wide providing consumers a taste of this new ginger flavoured malted food drink. Activating social media channels including Facebook and Youtube, the new Viva Ginger flavour hopes to connect with the refreshing moments of consumers countrywide.
