SK Energy Shots announced that Colin Kaepernick, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, has joined the brand as an ambassador. Kaepernick, who during the 2012 season led the 49ers to their first Super Bowl since 1994, will represent SK Energy in a national advertising campaign starting this July, which will include television commercials, billboards, radio spots, and social media engagement.
Kaepernick is quickly becoming a major figure in the NFL having led the 49ers to victory in the 2013 NFC Championship game against the Atlanta Falcons during his debut season and setting an NFL record for most rushing yards (181) by a quarterback during in his first playoff game.
“I always aim to be #1, so it made sense to partner up with the #1 Energy shot,” says Kaepernick. “I train hard even in the off season and I need an extra boost of good energy to get through my workouts. SK Energy shots help me log in those workouts on busy days so that I can stay on top of my game.”
SK Energy was named “#1 in Energy” for 2013 by Product of the Year USA. SK Energy shots are made with antioxidants, natural caffeine from green coffee beans, natural flavors and contain vitamins and antioxidants from green tea extract.

“SK Energy is all about spreading good energy from the inside-out—from its natural ingredients to the millions of meals we have provided thus far—and Colin fits in seamlessly with our brand,” says Chris Clarke, CEO of SK Energy. “Colin is a go-getter who not only cares deeply about his fitness and well-being, but also devotes time to helping others. We are so excited to have him on board and can’t wait to reveal his incredible campaign.”
