The best of non-profit advertising and marketing for social causes

Is Pepsi really refreshing everything?

I guess you already heard about the Pepsi Refresh Project. They are looking for people, businesses, and non-profits with ideas that will have a positive impact. Pepsi is accepting 1000 ideas every month will finance these projects. Very nice.

The whole thing was irritating me this week and today Steve from zyozy.org send me the tip about the video’s as shown here. Is this a rip off!
Above the Pepsi refresh campaign video, made by TBWA Chiat Day, where synchronized webcammers interact with each other. And see the video from the Japanese band Sour below with their video that went viral last summer.

Another one, from Danske Spil A/S, Danmark:
