Sprite is sponsoring one of the brightest events in the American basketball, the Slam Dunk game, which is taking place on February 13. In two weeks 2009 Sprite Slam Dunk champion Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks will attempt to become the first three-time winner of the competition. The Coca-Cola brand has shot three TV-sport to support the event.
Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola, being the major soft drink advertiser at the Super Bowl event after Pepsi decided to rule itself out, is using the sport competition for raising money and donate it to social organizations. The corporation is planning to give up to $500,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and half of the sum — $250,000 — is to be gathered with the help of Facebook project relating to the Super Bowl.
Coca-Cola encouraged Facebookers to take part in creating a new addition to the Glaceau Vitaminwater portfolio. The flavour, components and the bottle design of the new drink, Connect, were chosen by Facebook users, who participated in the promotional campaign on the social network website. The new drink now has a tasty black cherry-lime flavour made with caffeine and 8 key nutricients.
What do you do after you have consumed a drink of your favourite brand? Just throw it into the garbage bin, right? Tamara Barker, a 40 year-old artist from the US, has another approach of handling the empty cans: she takes the used containers and creates tiny and gorgeous hand-made decorations. At her Barker’s Herbs and Heirlooms page you may find lots of artistically created unique items.
