Starting from January 4, Pepsi, one of the biggest world producers of soft drinks, provides its Australian fans with a great opportunity to win money. To get the dollar cards, they are to find ‘Pepsi buttons’ scattered around eight major cities in Australia. The participants of the hit Refresh quest will get the clues for finding the location at the campaign’s website hitrefresh.com.au, as well as via Twitter and Facebook feeds.

PepsiCo is going more social than ever with its newly presented huge ‘Refresh Everything’ campaign. The company will provide dozens of initiative brains with financial support for implementation of the useful projects in 6 areas (health, arts and culture, charity, ecology, neighbourhood, and education). Each month the company will award up to $1.3 million for turning the ideas into reality.

New York fans of Foursquare website, which is encouraging people explore places in various cities can donate to charity educational foundation and collect points by checking in. Every point they add to the leaderboard is equal to four cents Pepsi will give to CampInteractive, a local organization that engages youth throughout the year in various academic seminars, monthly outdoor trips, and technology workshops.

Even before the start of the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship, Canadian hockey fans have reason to celebrate. Fans now have an official hockey cheer that will unite their collective spirit, enthusiasm and support for their national teams. Recognizing the lack of a unified hockey cheer, Pepsi began the movement to unify the voices of Hockey Canada’s fans, beginning with a competition to develop an official cheer.
