Rose Cameron, the CEO and founder, created WAT-AAH! after learning an alarming fact that today’s generation of kids are predicted to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents largely due to childhood obesity. Inspired by her two boys and Cameron’s 20+ years of experience in brand building and developing successful national marketing campaigns for various industries, she and her sons worked together to design WAT-AAH!’s screaming boy logo and its first line of functional products, which entered the market in 2008. Since then, WAT-AAH! has aimed to make water “cool” and contemporary to kids and teens to encourage their consumption. WAT-AAH! is available in major supermarket chains such as Kroger and its banners (Dillons, Fred Meyer, Fry’s, King Soopers, QFC, Ralph’s and Smith’s), Ahold subsidiaries (Stop & Shop, Giant-Landover and Giant-Carlisle) Shaw’s, Giant Eagle, BI-LO, Albertsons, ShopRite, Food Lion, Whole Foods Markets and many others as well as school districts nationwide.
