This new business venture with Shaquille O'Neal is part of the next steps for growth and expansion for BLUEO4. Since retiring from the NBA in 2011, and getting his Ph.D. in 2012 in Leadership and Education, O'Neal has boldly transitioned from playing basketball to a savvy businessman. His business ventures are many, and as one of the most easily recognized names and faces in the world, O'Neal's ability to grow a brand is superior. Moreover, with millions of social media followers including 6.5 million followers on twitter, O'Neal has been consistently ranked among the top 10 celebrity users. His loyal fan base worldwide, gives him the power to engage and influence millions at a time.
Given its simple yet revolutionary formula, BLUEO4 is particularly special to O'Neal. "I am proud to be part of a beverage brand that combines the natural benefits of water, oxygen and minerals, while offering enhancements from scientific research to stay hydrated for overall well being," said O'Neal.
"Everyone knows Shaquille's abilities, records and stats as one of the NBA's all time greats," said BLUEO4 founder and CEO, Dr. Dave. "However, Shaquille's brand influence, business acumen, knowledge and sheer competitive nature has propelled his business career after the NBA to a level achieved by few. Shaquille is very hands-on, and involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. We are thrilled to have him not only as a brand endorser, but also a partner and co-owner."
