About us
Progressive and sustainable, we're always looking at what's next. Talking Rain is experiencing double-digit growth, primarily driven by Sparkling Ice, America's #1 Sparkling Water. We're constantly innovating. We fail fast and use what we learn to produce incredible results. All of this is possible because of our Rain Makers. This diverse group of people shows up every day with an insatiable curiosity and a drive to get things done—and we can always trust them to make it happen. Things move fast around here, which is why we're so thankful for the flexibility they bring. Above all, our Rain Makers are just an approachable, empathetic bunch—because creating connections is at the core of everything we do. Our people are our most important asset. That's why we invest in them with benefits and development opportunities that reflect just how much we value them. We've come a long way since we were founded in 1987 by two men in a bar. If you're looking for your new home, a place where you'll be empowered to make an impact, visit our website to learn more about the people and events that helped form the company we are today and will be tomorrow.

We are proud to sponsor Rocky’s campaign to raise awareness about service dogs and shelter dogs everywhere, as well as K9s For Warriors’ mission of saving lives at both ends of the leash. For more on Rocky's campaign, read here: https://lnkd.in/gpj4Y83m #RockyforPresident2024 #SparklingIce #AnythingButSubtle

Over the weekend, in celebration of #PrideMonth, members of our Rainbows Resource Group sparkled with pride as they handed out over 10,000 bottles of Sparkling Ice along the route of Seattle's Pride Parade. A big thank you to our Rain Maker Inclusivity Council and all the Sparkle Squad Rain Makers involved for your continuous dedication to fostering inclusion and connection. "I feel so fortunate to work with people who give so much of themselves to the community. This weekend at Seattle Pride, the Sparkle Squad and Rainbows Resource Group connected and engaged with a bright, bold, and thirsty crowd. What a wonderful day to wrap up a month of fun and love!" - Liz Carter, Rain Maker Inclusivity Council Chair #PrideMonth #Community

Our Rain Makers create connections and community with every sip – it’s in our DNA at Talking Rain Beverage Co®, makers of Sparkling Ice. So it’s no surprise to see how our Rain Makers lean in to our “See You in the Aisle” tradition. We love this post by Executive Vice President of Sales Adam Lapp sharing our teams out doing what they do best – creating connections. Catch a Rain Maker in the aisle near you this fall! #people #culture #community
Our Rain Makers are the heartbeat of Talking Rain Beverage Co®, makers of Sparkling Ice, embodying a passion for our brand and a deep connection to our community. Twice a year, we take pride in our distinctive “See You in the Aisle” initiative, in which we invite Rain Makers to step out of their daily roles and join our sales team in the field. This isn’t just a day out of the office – it’s an opportunity to connect directly with our products, our retail partners, and the communities where we live and work. What began as a post-pandemic way to reconnect has blossomed into a cherished tradition. Right before summer and again for back-to-school, our entire team comes together, regardless of title or department, to connect with our retailers and make our Sparkling Ice products stand out – vibrant, bold, and inviting on shelves! One of the most heartwarming aspects of this initiative is seeing colleagues invite their loved ones to share in the experience, watching family enjoy and explore alongside their Rainmaker. This last Memorial Day weekend, we saw our largest participation yet with over 1/3 of non-sales Rain Makers in the aisle merchandising our products alongside our sales team and retail partners. Together, we celebrated the spirit of collaboration, a vivid reflection of our inclusive and dynamic culture that continues to set us apart. I’m incredibly proud of our team, grateful to each Rain Maker, and look forward to seeing you in the aisle soon! #teamwork #culture #community #TalkingRainMaker #people

There’s a bit of flavorful serendipity when both #NationalHydrationDay and #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay happened to fall on the same day. Why? Because our illustrious Flavor Lab, where our zero sugar, bold, better-for-you beverage creations emerge, happens to be run by some amazing women scientists. Meet the women driving the science behind your favorite Sparkling Ice drinks: Manisha Polur, Technical Innovation Manager, and Sahana L., a food technologist in R&D — two incredible women leading the science (and deliciousness) behind Sparkling Ice today and every day. Check out our interview to learn how Manisha and Sahana are finding new ways to keep Sparkling Ice at the center of flavor fun: https://lnkd.in/g4_eKfR9 #LifeInFullFlavor #People #RainisGoodforGrowth #Careers
