On April 29, Prince William and Catherine Middleton (now the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge) said “I will” at Westminster Abbey—and the time ahead one of the biggest events in Great Britain was a very busy period for brands and advertisers, since each of the big manufacturers in the U.K. just could not miss the opportunity to congratulate the royal couple on their marriage. Multiple limited-edition sets and lines, hilarious advertising and tie-up with social media—all this preceded the big day. Let’s take a look at how brands tapped into the royal celebrations and paid homage to the event, which shook the nation and the whole world.

tdg The Design Group, the brand communications and packaging design consultancy, has created a new packaging design for Tayto’s Rough Cuts range of crisps. Tayto ‘Rough Cuts’ are thick and chunky crinkle cut crisps with a unique V cut shape that has helped the brand secure the #3 spot in the crinkle cut segment. This will be the first brand refresh since 2004.

Schweppes has tapped another Hollywood A-lister to promote the iconic fizzy drink. The cold Australian beauty Nicole Kidman, who starred in the brand’s ‘Indian’ advert in 2009, was replaced by another stunning blond lady, Uma Thurman, who looks super sexy and super seducing in the new spot and visuals. In the new French campaign, which is developed by Fred&Farid (Paris), the agency behind the celebrated ‘We are animals’ campaign for Wrangler, ‘Kill Bill’ actress and a jury member of this year’s Cannes Film Festival is asking the legendary ‘What did you expect?’ question in the opulent settings.

Nike marks Arsenal FC’s 125th anniversary year by launching the club’s home shirt for the 2011-12 season. The celebratory design combines the graphic of the first club crest with the current version in a bold white print and carries the anniversary dates of 1886 and 2011 on the heart of the shirt. Underneath the celebratory crest sits the word ‘FORWARD’ as a tribute to the club’s first motto.

Coors Light packaging now features a new design that tells you when your beer reaches the ‘peak of refreshment.’ As part of its upcoming Super Cold Summer, the brand is debuting the latest in cold-activated technology: New Coors Light Two-Stage Activation bottles and cans, which make it easy to see when your Coors Light goes from cold… to Super Cold.

Avon Chairman and CEO Andrea Jung and Avon partner, actress Zoe Saldana, awarded a $60,000 Avon Foundation for Women grant to Chicago-based Family Rescue, Inc. to support its services for domestic violence victims and their families in the Chicago area. The grant was awarded during the Avon ‘Believe World Tour,’ an event to commemorate the company’s 125th anniversary. The event in Chicago is the seventh stop of the 16-city Believe World Tour and the final stop in the United States.

Fans of flavored vodka finally have what they have been really looking for with the launch of new Pucker™ Flavored Vodka from Beam Global Spirits & Wine. By borrowing the award-winning flavor expertise of Pucker Cordials to create a distinctive vodka drinking experience, the new alcohol drink stands out as a flavored vodka worthy of being characterized this way. Unlike other flavored vodkas, Pucker Vodka relies on fruit—apples, grapes, cherries and oranges—to create its bold natural flavors.
