Mountain Dew introduces Mtn Dew Label Series
PURCHASE, N.Y. — Mountain Dew, capitalizing on the success of its Mtn Dew Black Label — a dark berry-flavored soda it launched last year — is launching the Mtn Dew Label Series, a line of premium sodas crafted with distinctive flavors and herbal and citrus bitters.

“Dew Nation has shown us its love for Mtn Dew Black Label by making it one of our most popular beverages,” Mountain Dew senior director of marketing Chauncey Hamlett said. “Through the Mtn Dew Label Series, we're looking to give our fans more choices for when they want to let loose but are craving something a little more sophisticated.”
To support the launch of the Mtn Dew Label Series, the company will create Label Motel, taking over the Palm Springs, Calif.

It will feature a merchandise collaboration between New York-based social media company VFiles, which will create the 92264 capsule collection to debut at Label Motel, whose t-shirts, crop tops, beach towels, hats and slides will be available for purchase onsite. VFiles also will host a brunch and pool party on Sunday.
