PepsiCo is about to introduce the third installment of its digital incubator program PepsiCo10, which provides aspiring digital technology start-ups with a chance to work with the food and beverage giant’s brands. This was announced at What If? Unconference, hosted by PepsiCo at U.S. South by Southwest (SXSW) 2012, a digital, music and film festival, which unites the digital innovation leaders in the industries and often serves as a platform for launching new activities on a national stage.

Diet Pepsi continues to celebrate its passion for fashion, and announces a new ‘chick’ initiative to be rolled out at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (February 9-16, NYC) in the coming days. The zero-calorie drink, which is one of the official sponsors of the event, will open its ‘Diet Pepsi Style Studio’ fashion show on February 9 at 8:00 p.m. in The Box at Lincoln Center, where it will unveil collections by four emerging fashion designers, who represent four different regions of the country and infuse their creations with a local spirit and touch. For this project, the brand teamed up with fashion commentator Simon Doonan, who curated the up-and-coming talents.
With less than a week left before Super Bowl XLVI, which is both a major sport competition and an important advertising event, brands are bringing forth their new commercials or just teasers to hint on what the public will see in the breaks of the big game. Recently, we wrote about some of the auto adverts, which will be aired during the match on February 5 (since that time a bunch of new auto spots—Audi’s vampire story and Honda‘s ad featuring Matthew Broderick to name a few—have been revealed), and about Coca-Cola’s hilarious contribution, the Coke Polar Bowl interactive campaign. But what about Coke’s major rival, Pepsi? As it turns out, it also has something to show during the game—the brand created two ads, for Pepsi and Pepsi MAX, which will air this Sunday.
