# From Marketing Breakout to Cultural Going Global: JDB Tells More Than Just a Herbal Tea Story

> In an era of marketing saturation, consumer attention is fragmented, making seasonal marketing for FMCG brands increasingly challenging. Single-point breakthroughs no longer work; users want complete narratives, natural brand expressions, and interactive experiences with real value. This summer, JDB, the 'talent scout' of the music world, delivered a powerful combination: using music as a medium and herbal tea as a friend, centered on the 'Asia New Voice' music variety IP, launching six music-themed JDB Asia New Voice cans, integrating AI interactions and terminal sales scenarios to build a closed-loop marketing ecosystem.

In an era of marketing saturation, consumer attention is continuously fragmented, making seasonal marketing for FMCG brands increasingly difficult.
Single-point breakthroughs no longer work; what users want to see and engage with must be more complete content narratives, more natural brand expressions, and interactive experiences that deliver tangible value.
This summer, JDB, the 'talent scout' of the music world, once again delivered a powerful combination: with the stance of 'music as a medium, herbal tea as a friend,' centered on the 'Asia New Voice' music variety IP, it launched six music-themed JDB Asia New Voice cans, combined with AI interactive gameplay and terminal sales scenarios, constructing a 'content-product-interaction' trinity integrated marketing closed loop.
In the view of New Distribution, this is not only a successful attempt at brand rejuvenation and globalization but also a significant marketing implementation sample.

**Music as the Core: JDB Builds a New 'Voice' Ecosystem on an International Stage**

In today's world, capturing the high ground of youth culture and international expression is becoming a key path for brands to achieve long-term growth. Renowned marketing expert Kong Shou once said: 'Only by keeping up with new consumer voices and overseas trends can brands seize the initiative in future competition and grasp the engine of growth.'
As the pioneer of the herbal tea category and a leading brand in the industry, JDB has embarked on a 'new route' of cultural convergence, exclusively sponsoring 'Asia New Voice,' Asia's first cross-border singer cultural exchange program, injecting new vitality into the Chinese music scene.
Unlike traditional music variety competition formats, this program adopts a 'cruise recording + sea roadshow' format, connecting young musicians from China, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and other countries, truly achieving cultural going global and cultural exchange.
In the program, JDB, as the 'New Voice Navigator,' accompanies new voice singers from various countries on stage in fierce competition and passionate clashes, and offstage integrates with Asian cuisines, incorporating JDB into local dining scenarios.
This move not only allows domestic and international audiences to deeply appreciate the traditional Chinese wellness culture of 'preventing heatiness' but also, through a series of spicy food scenarios, successfully establishes the brand mindset of 'Drink JDB when you're afraid of getting heaty' in viewers' minds.
Malaysian Ambassador to China Norman Muhammed even called the program 'a symphony of Asian unity,' undoubtedly reflecting the significant importance of the program's success in promoting cultural exchange among Asian countries.
Beyond the program, JDB, with the concept of 'Sing hot and spicy all summer, ignite young power,' launched the 'JDB Asia New Voice Series' in conjunction with 'Asia New Voice,' creating six themed can designs that personify six musical personas: 'Blazing Voice,' 'Rhythmic Voice,' 'Heavenly Voice,' 'Joyful Voice,' 'Charming Voice,' and 'Melodious Voice' as product expressions.
Coupled with the online 'JDB Grab Can AI Singer' mini-program, users can scan the can code to generate personalized AI songs and singing posters, achieving a complete consumption chain from watching the program, purchasing the product, to participating in interaction.
While generating UGC content topics online, JDB also carried out related offline activities around the theme 'Drink JDB, Sing Asia New Voice.'
Extending the 'music + food' scenarios from the program offline, JDB launched the City New Voice Singer event in ten major cities, with roadshows in universities and core business districts, attracting many contestants to participate actively, further connecting content dissemination with offline consumption. Additionally, JDB exclusively sponsored the Zhangbei Grassland Music Festival. These actions undoubtedly show that in all scenarios loved by young people, JDB has been 'playing together' with them.
From exclusive sponsorship of a music variety show to product design, to stimulating participation and landing at terminals, JDB has achieved a leap from 'being seen' to 'being resonated with' through an integrated marketing campaign that coordinates online and offline, with multi-touchpoint reach.
In the view of New Distribution, what JDB is telling this time is not just a product story, but also a brand proposition of Asian cultural connection and self-expression.

**From Traffic to Retention: JDB Wins Not Only Heat but Also Consumer Mindshare**

During the peak beverage season, for beverage brands, how to execute breakout marketing at this time to add glory to the season is undoubtedly a primary challenge.

**At the brand level:**
The cultural atmosphere of 'Asia New Voice' has injected new brand expression into JDB, transforming it from a well-known national brand into a carrier of traditional Chinese wellness culture.
Through this integrated marketing, JDB not only strengthened the core of 'Drink JDB when you're afraid of getting heaty' but also, through the triple synergy of music variety, interactive gameplay, and visual design, positioned the brand as a participant 'expressing emotions and attitudes together with young people.'
Leveraging 'Asia New Voice,' JDB also completed a structural evolution of its brand persona, moving from 'providing products' to 'triggering resonance,' becoming an expressive brand that young people can naturally accept and remember long-term.

**At the product level:**
The six themed can designs of JDB Asia New Voice cans are not only traffic-driving single products in terminal stores but also naturally induce user behavior transformation of 'check-in sharing.' The emotionally visualized 'New Voice Cans' undoubtedly create a music social currency more suitable for young people, coinciding with Gen Z's way of 'conveying feelings through objects.'
Product as content, packaging as topic, shelf as communication platform—these characteristics give it higher sell-through capability and sharing value.

**At the communication level:**
From generating heat with 'Asia New Voice,' to creating topics with emotional can designs, to the mini-program carrying interaction and promoting offline purchase and online participation, JDB has formed a synergistic communication closed loop, allowing it not just to reach users at single points but to coexist with consumers more systematically.

**At the channel level:**
The resonant music IP, six themed can designs, and innovative AI gameplay have formed a good synergistic rhythm at the channel end, providing terminals with a solid sales handle.
For terminal distributors, such activities are both interesting and material-rich, both implementable and sales-driving, undoubtedly enhancing the rhythm, ritual, and topicality of terminal promotions.

**Using Music to Carry the Brand: JDB at the Forefront of Rejuvenation**

Telling a brand story that young people are willing to listen to is, in itself, the greatest growth driver.
Rejuvenation is a long-term goal for many brands and a tough subject to tackle. Most brands' rejuvenation follows a product path, but it's not hard to see that what truly builds deep recognition in the minds of Gen Z are brands that understand content and are willing to express themselves.
And music is undoubtedly a great content carrier.
As the 'talent scout' of the music world, JDB this time is not simply 'borrowing the program to speak out' but using the IP to state its position—expressing its new role in the ecosystem of culture, social interaction, and youth expression.
In the view of New Distribution, JDB's 2025 integrated marketing campaign not only delivered a 'complete chain' market action but also validated a path: when a brand can shift from 'what you want to buy' to 'what you want to express,' and when products can become 'emotional carriers,' it possesses the language ability to coexist with young people worldwide.
For the entire FMCG industry, this is not just a dazzling marketing case but also a operational model for brand rejuvenation and long-termism in the content era.
