Behind the Brand: A Quick Chat with Origlio Brand Manager Pete Steffy

Pete Steffy

Red Bull is the #1 energy drink worldwide and continues to grow in the Northeast. What’s driving that momentum, and how can accounts take advantage of it?
Red Bull’s dominance comes from its strong brand identity, innovative marketing, and strategic partnerships. The brand resonates with younger consumers while its diverse lineup — from Sugarfree to Editions — meets different taste preferences. Accounts can ride this momentum by featuring Red Bull in creative mixology, building signature cocktails and mocktails, and promoting them through social media to attract Millennials and Gen Z.


On-premise, Red Bull is the #1 energy drink at the bar. What’s the best way for bars and restaurants to feature Red Bull and boost drink sales?
The best ability isn’t just availability — it’s visibility. Red Bull provides a range of tools to make the brand stand out in bars and restaurants. Featuring drinks on menus with vibrant descriptions and eye-catching visuals, backed by branded fridges, coolers, and POS, makes it easier for bartenders to upsell and keeps Red Bull top of mind for consumers.


Off-premise, Red Bull single-serves are huge impulse drivers. What are the smartest ways delis and home distributors can merchandise Red Bull to keep it moving fast?
Offering Red Bull in a home distributor or corner deli is a simple way to add value for customers. Placing a cooler near the register — fully stocked and clearly priced with a variety of Red Bull offerings — creates an easy impulse buy. This one-stop convenience keeps customers happy and keeps product moving quickly.
