GetTwisted.
Keith Sweat's "Twisted" meets America's most talked-about beverage.
A multi-generational cultural campaign built to be seen, heard, sipped, and shared — turning a 1996 R&B anthem into the sound of Summer 2026.
The song is the brand.
Two icons. One word. A campaign designed to be earned, not bought.
Keith Sweat's "Twisted" is one of the most recognizable R&B songs of all time. Twisted Tea has built an equally recognizable brand around being fun, relaxed, social, and authentic.
This isn't licensing. It's a cultural campaign — connecting nostalgia with today's culture by making Twisted the soundtrack of the brand.
Position Twisted Tea as the drink for unwinding — while re-introducing Keith Sweat to a new generation.
Mutual, measurable alignment.
A partnership only works when both sides win. Here, they both do — meaningfully.
- New licensing revenue
- Increased streaming
- Catalog revitalization
- Blue-chip brand partnership
- Access to new demographics
- Iconic, recognizable music
- Built-in cultural relevance
- Authenticity by association
- Compounding social engagement
- Cross-generational appeal
The big idea.
A single line ties the campaign together across film, retail, and experience.
"Let's Get
Twisted."
Playful. Confident. Familiar. Instantly writable on a can, a t-shirt, a marquee, or a lyric video.
Five phases. One arc.
Five acts across a single summer. Each phase compounds the last.
Keith walks into a backyard party. Someone asks…
"Keith… you still twisted?"
He smiles, looks at the camera, raises a Twisted Tea.
🎵 "Lately I've been thinking…"
