CHARLOTTE – Startup Clean Juice, which offers organic juices, is about to get a major publicity boost. Sports star Tim Tebow has signed on as a spokesperson for the five-year-old firm and will appear in a national TV spot.
“I’m very excited to be partnering with Clean Juice and to offer something that is truly clean and healthy,” said Tebow in the announcement made early Tuesday. “The biggest thing about Clean Juice over everything else is that you can trust the product and brand. There aren’t a lot of products that are transparent about what is in your food.”
Founders Kat and Landon Eckles say the Tebow spot and “subsequent videos will be utilized across multiple strategies and platforms to build awareness of the award-winning brand as it expands across the U.S. Clean Juice will also feature Tebow in social media, web, point-of-purchase materials product development, and more.”
The former football star also will be working with the company on philanthropic efforts.
“Tim Tebow’s natural authenticity, inspiring reputation, commitment to healthy living, and unwavering faith is the perfect embodiment of the personal and professional values we hold dear at Clean Juice,” said Landon Eckles, Clean Juice’s CEO. “We are truly blessed that Tebow has chosen to stand side-by-side with Clean Juice in becoming the face of the brand’s continued mission and vision of being healthy in body and strong in spirit. The entire Clean Juice family is blessed to work with Tebow.”
Clean Juice launched in 2016 as the “first and only national USDA-certified organic juice bar franchise” and offers “organic cold-pressed juices, smoothies, wraps, açaí bowls, toasts, Greenoa salad bowls, and other healthy foods.”
Clean Juice reported more than $4 million in revenue in 2018 to crack the Inc. 500 fastest growing private company list. The firm also ranked No. 957 in Inc. Magazine’s 2020 Franchise 500 ranking and the Top spot as Franchise Gator’s 2021 Fastest-Growing Franchises list.
