Squeaky Wheel Media, an interactive agency specializing in Web-based creative services, has launched the first phase of a Web site initiative for the Pepsi-owned beverage company SoBe.

The site relaunched this week after Sobe’s escalating product line and market promotions demanded further online development. Working closely with SoBe, Squeaky Wheel Media created what it called “a more enhanced, accessible and cutting-edge position for the beverage company.” The site has a redesigned interface and content navigation system, including message boards, polling, e-commerce, newsletters, downloads, and photo/video galleries.

“The online position of SoBe will keep growing gradually with the homepage feature changing on a monthly basis in an effort to keep the audience engaged,” said Ed Mullen, Squeaky Wheel’s creative director.
