The easiest win you’ll make today: Choosing Good Energy^®

It’s the perfect balance of flavour and function, proving that progress doesn’t have to come at the expense of enjoyment,” says Carl Goyette, President and CEO of GURU.

In every can:

• 140 mg of natural, organic caffeine from green tea for lasting energy
• Zero sugar, zero sucralose, zero aspartame
• Metabolism and focus support from green tea catechin (EGCG) and L-theanine
• Proudly brewed in Canada
  
  

Every small win deserves a cherry on top

Today’s consumers value progress and consistency over shortcuts. GURU’s new campaign is choosing to celebrate progress – one small win at a time. The brand’s new campaign, “Every small win deserves a cherry on top”, reframes energy as something earned through consistency, not all-or-nothing effort.

From early wake-ups to satisfying movement, GURU spotlights the small wins that build real habits and momentum, redefining the energy category around positivity and purpose.

Launching in January, the campaign will span digital video, social media, influencer collaborations, experiential activations, and retail experiences across Canada and select U.S. markets.

A new chapter for Good Energy^®

The launch of GURU Zero Dragon Fruit Cherry Sorbet marks another milestone in GURU’s strategy to lead the Good Energy^® movement – offering a natural, functional alternative to synthetic energy drinks and inspiring people to choose energy that feels as good as it tastes.
