“Anyone who follows me on Instagram or Twitter knows I’m a big believer in living honestly: Partnering with ZICO is true to me not just because I drink their natural coconut water as a simple way to stay healthy, but also because I’m on board with the #CrackLifeOpen mentality of living your best life by staying positive, being present and taking small steps towards balanced, healthy living that fit your lifestyle,” Jessica Alba, ZICO Brand Ambassador.
Over the past decade, the ZICO brand has been a leader in the explosive coconut water category for its refreshing, coconut water. The goal of the Crack Life Open campaign is to remind people that like crisp refreshing coconuts, life is better when our hearts and minds are open. Throughout the campaign, ZICO and Jessica Alba will work together to motivate people to start living the life they want today.
