ISME believes the deal can bring millions in revenue in total, which will benefit PSV as well as ISME shareholders."
Skwara continued, "We will build a following for the drink using a local marketing firm which will assist in promoting PSV Energy including the use of the teams logos and players images as per the licensing agreement on point of sales posters, and PSV Energy life size displays. The bottom line is PSV fans want to support the club and at the same time they want a drink they can enjoy and so PSV Energy is a perfect fit.
