Supporting emerging artists is in DNA of the Mountain Dew bubble drink brand, which never misses an opportunity to get together with younger creatives on various projects or occasions. One of the most energetic PepsiCo’s brands (by nature and style, not by containing caffeine) has teamed up with 19-year old genius of rap Mac Miller, described as “Twitter sensation” by Rolling Stone (now, he’s got over 1,120,000 followers and counting), who released his debut album Blue Slide Park yesterday, November 8. The iconic drink to support the artist’s first headlining US tour (click here to see where it is going to stop), which will be rolling across 32 cities of the country with 35 concerts this fall, produce a range of promotional merchandize to be sold at each of the show and more.

The Jeep brand is rolling out a new ad campaign to promote its 2012 Jeep Wrangler.

A new tagline for the campaign sounds: ‘The toughest vehicle in the world. Any world.’

Carbonated drink brands put male into focus this fall—a few weeks ago, Dr Pepper rolled out its Ten version for machos across the U.S., and now Pepsi MAX, another brand targeting male consumers, is stepping out with the new marketing activity revolving around male friendship. For the new digital campaign dubbed Top Mates, which has been launched on Facebook, the brand teamed up with advertising agency Clemenger BBDO Sydney. The promotion, which is supported by TV and radio elements across the country as reported by www.bandit.com.au, will be running for a month, but the brand is going to continue using this idea for further fan engagement.

Polar bears have been Coca-Cola’s for almost a century, and now they really need the brand to help save the endangered animals from extinction. The iconic brand has teamed up with WWF, its longstanding partner in nature focused activities, to launch the new campaign dubbed Arctic Home, encouraging people across the USA to contribute to the polar bear conservation effort during winter season. The brand is making the initial donation of $2 million to WWF, hoping to raise up to $1 million through consumer texting donations. To spread the message across the nation, the brand is changing its visual identity—for the period of the campaign, which is running from November 2011 till March 2012, the iconic red cans will become white with the red ‘Coca-Cola’ inscription and polar bears (a mother bear and her two cubs), and other drinks from the company’s portfolio will get white caps.

Soft drinks brands often inspire consumers to think out of the box and push their creativity further by motivating them to delve into a new experience.

To reach global audience, the brand used a range of social and interactive elements, created by Wieden+Kennedy.
