Now that spring is to arrive in two weeks, all the 2012 New Year celebrations and news about them are left behind, but there’s another New Year marketing project, which is worth mentioning. China celebrated Spring Festival, its national New Year on January 23, and to mark the occasion, PepsiCo launched a lovely campaign dubbed ‘Bring Happiness Home,’ encouraging its consumers and fellow colleagues to go and celebrate the holiday with their family and special ones.

Denizen, the jeanswear brand created by Levi Strauss & Co. back in 2010, is announcing a new global campaign dubbed ‘We Are Explorers,’ which will see several ambassadors of the brand travelling across the globe and collecting creative inspirations. Levi’s is known for its love for journeys, exploring distant countries and getting new experiences (Levi’s Roadwear and Levi’s Norte a Sur: Una Ruta, 5 Experiencias project prove it), and has ‘transplanted’ this affection onto its child brand.

The male international grooming brand Gillette celebrates diversity of facial hair styles by launching a new campaign, featuring three new brand ambassadors, musician and fashion designer André 3000 Benjamin, actors Gael García Bernal and Adrien Brody, who have their own authentic styles. The celebrities will help the brand present Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler, a new 3-in-1 styling tool for men with facial hair (only in North America there are nearly 40 percent of them) who regularly use multiply items such as trimmers, razors and scissors to keep their hair style as it should be. The new tool is designed to simplify this boring and complicated routine.
