Liquid Death BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Liquid Death has had a very metal, meme-filled few days—exactly the kind of chaos its fans have come to expect. The biggest headline, as reported by multiple outlets including 106.3 The Fox and Consequence.net, is the launch of an extremely limited, absurdly priced collaboration with the legendary mock-rock band Spinal Tap ahead of the new sequel film. Only 11 special edition 11-packs of Liquid Death Mountain Water were produced, each signed by all three members of Spinal Tap—Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer—mimicking the band’s iconic “go to 11” gag. The price tag? One thousand one hundred dollars per box, one per customer, and no returns. These sold out almost instantly—because, of course they did—and are now destined for the mantle pieces of the most dedicated Spinal Tap and Liquid Death collectors. The promotion included a truly Spinal Tap-esque promo video featuring Rob Reiner reprising his Marty DiBergi role and the band hilariously confused about endorsing water instead of beer. This campaign, covered by Famous Campaigns, Bleeding Cool, and others, is vintage Liquid Death: parody, nostalgia, and a dash of rock-and-roll insolence, cementing its reputation as a brand unafraid to get weird.

In the broader business context, these stunts are more than just marketing theater. Just Drinks reports that Liquid Death recently secured a major, undisclosed seven-figure investment from 4th & 1 Ventures, a venture capital firm with a roster of food and beverage brands. Liquid Death is now valued at $1.4 billion after a $67 million funding round last year, on the back of $263 million in retail sales in 2024. While international growth has reportedly slowed, Liquid Death is launching a new Sparkling Energy line in the US next year—caffeinated, but with no sugar or artificial sweeteners—promising to widen its product portfolio beyond water and iced teas. Founder Mike Cessario has promised a “not extreme” caffeine boost, a sharp contrast to the brand’s over-the-top marketing.

Social media chatter is dominated by the Spinal Tap collab, but an even more bizarre stunt—just days ago, Liquid Death and Martha Stewart reportedly teamed up to sell a giant severed hand, per Sked Social. While details are fuzzy, it’s classic Liquid Death: a blend of playful shock value and meme culture. All this activity shows a brand that is not just riding on viral stunts, but building a portfolio and corporate muscle to back up the hype. There are no reports of major executive shakeups, scandals, or public company dramas in the past week—just a steady drip of new products, high-profile collaborations, and a growing investor roster. For fans and detractors alike, Liquid Death is continuing its campaign to be the most irreverent, talked-about beverage company on the planet.

Liquid Death BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

It’s been an action-packed week for Liquid Death, and the beverage brand made headlines with multiple high-profile moves and eye-popping collaborations. The biggest news: Liquid Death just secured a significant seven-figure investment from the venture capital firm 4th & 1 Ventures. This aligns Liquid Death with a roster of portfolio companies powered by pro athletes and social media personalities, and marks a confidence boost from investors who see enormous long-term value in the company’s rebellious branding and rapid growth. While the exact sum remains undisclosed, the backers hyped their excitement on LinkedIn, calling out Liquid Death’s marketing prowess and disruptive momentum. Notably, in 2024 Liquid Death booked $263 million in retail sales, but analysts noticed the brand has paused much of its international expansion, narrowing its focus back to its US core according to Just Drinks.

Meanwhile, on the pop culture side, Liquid Death has turned up the volume (literally) with a limited edition promotion that’s pure rock nostalgia. The brand partnered with legendary mock-metal band Spinal Tap to offer a collector’s 11-pack of Mountain Water in honor of the group’s upcoming film sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. Only eleven packs exist, each signed by Spinal Tap’s iconic trio, and priced at a comically grand $1,100 per case—one per customer only, of course. The buzz reached late-night TV, with Spinal Tap plugging both the film and the Liquid Death collab on Jimmy Kimmel Live, complete with a bass-heavy performance of their classic “Big Bottom.” A viral video campaign starring the band and the film’s director Rob Reiner has been making the rounds, lampooning the idea of rock stars endorsing water instead of booze. This quirky tie-in was widely reported by outlets from Bleeding Cool to Consequence of Sound, and has been celebrated for its sheer creativity.

On the business front, Liquid Death’s recent cameo in Boost Mobile’s new ad campaign also grabbed attention. The commercial, produced by Liquid Death’s own agency, features a menacing character called Cellphone Bill chugging the canned water and splashing it on his “victims.” While the brands don’t directly endorse each other, marketing experts cited in MediaCat praised the partnership’s fit, given both companies’ badass, subversive personas—even if their industries don’t exactly overlap. Whether a co-branding move like this boosts long-term brand recall remains up for debate, but media analysts suggest the shared disruptive attitude delivers a meaningful impact among young, rebellious consumers.

Social media chatter mirrored the public spectacle, with fans debating the price of the Spinal Tap packs and making memes about the Cellphone Bill ads. The Spinal Tap campaign in particular seems to have cemented Liquid Death’s reputation for audacious marketing and clever brand alliances, suggesting that, while the business is tightening its geographic focus, the cultural presence is only getting louder. Rumors of an upcoming foray into energy drinks have also been swirling, courtesy of CEO Mike Cessario’s recent LinkedIn tease of a sugarless, low-caffeine Sparkling Energy line set for launch next year, but info remains limited and the details are still unconfirmed. All told, it was a week that showcased Liquid Death’s talent for combining inventive pop culture hooks, eye-catching investment moves, and share-worthy social media stunts to keep the spotlight firmly fixed—and fans thirsting for more.

Liquid Death BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Liquid Death has been on a headline-grabbing tear these past few days, blending its signature irreverence with some of the most unpredictable marketing moves in the beverage category. The biggest news splashed across marketing sites and industry press is the wild new partnership between Liquid Death and Boost Mobile. This dynamic duo launched a Halloween-infused campaign that lampoons the horrors of sky-high cellphone bills, introducing a new villain for the ages—Cellphone Bill—brought to life by comedian Tony Cavalero. In this horror-comedy parody, Cellphone Bill is a deranged figure holding consumers hostage to bloated wireless contracts, giving Boost Mobile the perfect foil for its promise of $25-a-month forever wireless service with zero price hikes and no hidden fees. According to PR Newswire and major industry outlets, the campaign's creative direction, production, and even the new character all came straight from Liquid Death’s in-house Death Machine studio, marking the company’s official creative entry into the telecom world and showing just how far its entertainment-first ethos can travel.

Riding this storytelling wave, Liquid Death made business news for more than just quirky ad spots. The company's expansion into creative partnerships has now touched the food world in an unexpected way: they’ve dropped a limited-edition Hot Fudge Sundae Sparkling Water in collaboration with Brooklyn-based ice cream disruptors Van Leeuwen. AOL.com and AllRecipes report this release as possibly Liquid Death's weirdest yet—with cans promising a chuggable dessert experience at just 20 calories, made with natural cocoa, vanilla, agave, and stevia. The launch was celebrated with splashy pop-up giveaways in New York's Washington Square Park and LA’s Abbot Kinney, and initial online drops sold out quickly on Amazon and TikTok Shop. Social channels were buzzing, with anticipation and reviews ricocheting across platforms like X and TikTok, where Liquid Death routinely boosts big launches.

Industry insiders from Campaign Live and The Brand Brief are calling the Boost Mobile x Liquid Death collab one of the sharpest stunts of the season, reinforcing Liquid Death’s reputation for punching above its weight in earned media. Sprout Social’s industry analysis confirms the brand’s playbook: influencer campaigns and meme magic fuel its outsized social share of voice, especially as it leverages employees and fans to repost, share, and amplify each bizarre announcement well beyond owned channels.

As for unconfirmed rumors or unsubstantiated social chatter, there’s plenty of speculation that Liquid Death’s next act could be a bigger move into functional beverages or a creative expansion in global markets, but nothing verified yet. For now, the brand’s business trajectory—with all these high-profile collaborations and viral marketing wins—continues to redefine the boundaries of what a beverage can be, both in culture and commerce.

Liquid Death BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Fresh off one of the wildest weeks in beverage branding Liquid Death just catapulted itself back into headlines with a barrage of bizarre partnerships and unconventional stunts. On September second Boost Mobile dropped a campaign in collaboration with Liquid Death that the business press is already calling a blitz against the big three wireless carriers. According to GuruFocus and PR Newswire this Halloween themed ad campaign features a psycho cellphone bill character with Liquid Death’s signature irreverent style essentially taking direct aim at everything bloated, predatory, and uncool about the telecom industry. The Stable and CampaignLive both backed up the buzz calling it a uniquely weird collaboration that could disrupt standard advertising conventions and put both brands top of mind with the under 35 crowd.

But Liquid Death’s week did not stop there. It scored another unexpected crossover with Fruity Pebbles for the launch of Liquid Death Cereal Criminal a limited edition cereal now hitting store shelves according to Post Consumer Brands. This “killer collaboration” leans into Liquid Death’s ability to blend nostalgia with shock value—offering fans something downright rebellious for breakfast. Liquid Death’s relentless march into new lifestyle territory continues with yet another left-field appearance two days ago in Fargo, North Dakota. Fargounderground reports that Liquid Death is the headline sponsor for the “Death by Pilates” event at the soon-to-open Synclaire Social and Wellness Club, a cheeky nod to their ironic health-meets-anti-corporate marketing DNA.

Meanwhile the marketing world is still chewing over CEO Mike Cessario’s address at Cannes Lions earlier this summer. WARC summarized his take that the brand’s entire strategy hinges on radical entertainment and stopping power—touting confusion and humor as Liquid Death’s most reliable sales tool. The brand’s ability to make healthy drinking habits genuinely entertaining is paying off handsomely with approximately 70 percent of their sales now coming from flavored tea and low sugar drinks instead of the original mountain water. Over on YouTube and food trade circles The Food Institute hints that Liquid Death is quickly becoming the beverage most likely to be name-dropped by Gen Alpha influencers—elevating “pester power” and making the brand a common sight in youth-oriented content.

No surprise then that social media is awash with everything from Liquid Death latte fan posts to debate about whether the brand should launch its own coffee line as seen on platforms like TikTok and Instagram in the past few days. While there’s lots of fan speculation swirling around new products these rumors remain unverified. Bottom line Liquid Death is everywhere right now—turning expectations upside down and making sure that whether it’s a cereal aisle or the yoga studio somewhere someone is talking about them and probably laughing.

Liquid Death has been everywhere this week and I have the scoop on every headline and Insta-worthy moment. The big news to hit the wires on September 2 is Liquid Death teaming up with Boost Mobile for a wild new advertising campaign. According to PR Newswire and echoed by Barchart, Boost Mobile joined forces with Liquid Death to skewer the Big Three wireless giants, launching a memorable campaign featuring Cellphone Bill, a psycho character brought to life by Tony Cavalero. This ad blitz aims to expose the horrors of overpriced wireless contracts, using Liquid Death’s signature dark humor and production edge. The campaign, crafted by Liquid Death’s internal Death Machine crew, is getting talked about not just for its entertainment value but for its disruptive message—underscoring Liquid Death’s status as the beverage world’s premier troublemaker.

On the branding front, The Food Institute recently called Liquid Death one of the fastest-growing non-alcoholic beverage cults, highlighting how the company’s ghoulish yet inclusive humor keeps pulling in fans from all walks of life. Andy Pearson, creative VP, told The Food Institute that people simply love things that make them laugh, further cementing the brand’s mainstream appeal with Gen Z and meme-driven audiences.

If you are into movie crossovers, get this: Liquid Death just landed Toxie from The Toxic Avenger as its spokesperson to promote both the cult remake’s August 29 theatrical release and the canned water brand itself. According to IMDb and horror site Bloody Disgusting, Toxie has filmed a cheeky public service announcement now spinning online, blending B-movie nostalgia with Liquid Death’s irreverent image. That’s a pop culture double-shot that’s already got bloody tongues wagging.

For the social set, there is buzz in New York for the upcoming Liquid Death x ESW Beauty Pop-Up this Friday, September 5th. Eventbrite describes it as a one-night collision of skincare, merch, and exclusive Liquid Death sheet masks with bonuses like free nail art and branded bucket hats at 306 West 38th Street. Expect TikTok and IG to light up with unboxings and face reveals from this event.

No news of any major business deals or funding rounds in the last few days, though Forge Global quietly lists the price to invest in Liquid Death at 8.75 per share for those chasing private market action—a speculative figure, and notably, Liquid Death remains a private company, so no public stock headlines yet.

Across the board this week, Liquid Death is leveraging celebrity partnerships, buzzworthy campaigns, and community-focused stunts to dominate both cultural chatter and ad industry press, proving once again it is the brand everyone cannot stop talking about.

liquid-death BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Liquid Death lit up headlines this week by announcing the upcoming launch of Liquid Death Sparkling Energy, set to debut in January with 100 milligrams of caffeine per 12-ounce can, according to Beverage Digest. This marks a significant expansion beyond their core water business into the booming energy drink market and could signal a long-term pivot in their product strategy. Meanwhile, tongues were wagging thanks to Liquid Death’s latest stunt: a bold partnership with Yahoo Sports for a digitally bloodthirsty fantasy football activation called the Guillotine League, where losing teams get, yes, virtually beheaded—Marketing Dive says this edgy campaign fits the brand’s irreverent marketing DNA and is poised to make an impact as fantasy season ramps up.

At Lollapalooza in Chicago, Liquid Death was all over social media as the de facto hydration hero. Instagram posts by festivalgoers like Brandon Polley and melaniemroth showed that the brand was everywhere on-site, while Campaign Live highlighted Liquid Death’s quirky on-ground effort. Attendees could snag free cans of sparkling or still water, then chuck the empties into giant recycling skulls, drawing major crowds and cementing the brand’s reputation for memorable experiential marketing. Fans online seemed particularly enthusiastic about the Liquid Death Country Club activation at the festival, further driving buzz among younger audiences.

Business-wise, there were no major reports of mergers, executive shakeups, or financial performance figures in the past few days, but industry insiders are taking note of the push into energy and the continuing festival blitz—moves seen as calculated bets to grow market share and brand relevance in the crowded beverage sector.

On social media, Liquid Death continues to rack up organic mentions and engagement, especially around high-visibility events like Lollapalooza. Instagram users, influencers, and music fans tagged and praised the brand, with no sign of controversy or negative press attached to its recent campaigns. No significant legal, regulatory, or public relations crises have emerged recently.

While speculation about future collaborations and possible flavor expansions persists among fans and trade media, only the Sparkling Energy drink launch has been verified. All told, these developments—especially the new energy drink and audacious fantasy football campaign—have potential for lasting impact and reinforce Liquid Death’s rep as one of the beverage world’s most daring and unconventional brands.

Over the past week, Liquid Death has once again demonstrated why it is called the “most entertaining beverage brand in America.” In the freshest headline from Marketing Dive, the company just announced a highly irreverent fantasy football partnership with Yahoo Sports, where a first-of-its-kind “guillotine league” format will see losing fantasy teams digitally beheaded each week, complete with Liquid Death’s branding and darkly comic animations. Yahoo’s president of media Ryan Spoon called it a natural fit, and the campaign is gaining early traction with sports audiences online. This move signals Liquid Death’s intention to embed itself not just in beverage aisles but deep into pop culture and gaming ecosystems, leveraging its shock-first branding to carve out new fan segments.

On the executive front, the company’s SVP of Marketing Dan Murphy popped up on the “Speed of Culture” podcast, sharing how Liquid Death’s approach is essentially to operate like a comedy studio with an in-house writers’ room—think creatives from The Onion and Adult Swim. Murphy underlined the brand’s core obsession with “shareability as the new ROI,” stating they judge each campaign not by likes but by shares and online buzz. He pointed out that thanks to 13 million-plus followers, every stunt, meme, or collab (like their viral corpse paint kit with ELF Beauty or Tony Hawk’s blood-infused skateboard) is road-tested on social media before launch, only scaling up the ones that catch on organically.

CEO Mike Cessario addressed the Creative Impact stream at Cannes Lions just days ago, reflecting on his journey from Netflix creative director to purveyor of “healthy beverages that feel dangerous.” He described their secret sauce: treating each campaign as an entertainment product, often staffed by comedians rather than traditional marketers. Cessario mentioned the brand still puts 12 percent of revenue into experimental marketing, to keep making “one dollar equal one hundred dollars,” and credited their cult status among sober punks, tech insiders, and celebrity fans, including Steve-O and Wiz Khalifa, for their Amazon sales bonanza.

Recent coverage from dot.LA cemented Liquid Death’s current $700 million valuation, with Cessario saying their flavored sparkling drinks are now outselling Bubly, San Pellegrino, and Aha in many channels. The brand continues to turn social media and influencer moments into headline-worthy stunts—recently, they signed the “pro waterboy” for $100,000 and launched a line of low-sugar iced teas that is making waves online and in vending machines.

On Instagram and LinkedIn, marketing industry accounts have been sharing Liquid Death’s meteoric rise as a masterclass in cultural marketing. Key talking points trending are their “entertainment-first” brand playbook, relentless parody campaigns, and how their tone—irreverent, unpredictable, sometimes unhinged—continues to reshape the idea of what a health beverage company can be. No major executive scandals, funding crises, or product recalls have hit the news, and general buzz suggests this last week has only cemented Liquid Death’s trajectory as the beverage category’s most radical disruptor.
