The opportunities for brands to leave a legacy

‘Less about a moment, more about a movement’ was how Pepsi in North America described The Refresh Project, its $20m corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. Breaking with a 23-year tradition, Pepsi didn’t appear in the Super Bowl and instead invested in Refresh to reward the best ideas to improve local communities. Every month in 2010, the Refresh site can receive up to 1,000 suggestions and the best ones are voted for by the US public. Despite not actually advertising, Pepsi was one of the Super Bowl’s most buzzed about brands.
