This year, Diet Coke’s involvement in The Heart Truth will include sponsorship of The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection fashion show on February 13th at Fashion Week 2009.

Diet Coke also will debut a targeted print, television and digital advertising campaign featuring Heidi Klum; unveil packaging featuring The Heart Truth’s Red Dress logo; and launch an updated Web site with consumer education about heart health as well as a traveling exhibit.

New this year, Klum is taking on the dual role of jewelry designer and model. She has created a Diet Coke Red Dress Charm, inspired by the Red Dress symbol, encrusted in rubies and diamonds and shaped like an hourglass to remind women it is time to get educated about heart disease, the #1 killer of women in America today. On February 22, 2009, Klum will wear the Diet Coke Red Dress Charm on the Red Carpet at the Academy Awards to help raise awareness for women’s heart health.
