PEDIGREE(R) Brand Aims to ‘Feed The Good’ In Dogs Around the World
— New Global Campaign from BBDO Highlights the Role Dogs Play in Making the World a Better Place
BRUSSELS, April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — We live in incredibly complex times. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, the human race literally races from one activity to the next. But no matter what corner of the world you call home, there’s one friend who can always help us instantaneously reconnect with the simple things in life – whether through a slobbery kiss, a simple tail wag or an excited bark – dogs. And today, our furry friends will take their rightful place in the spotlight as PEDIGREE® Brand launches a new global marketing campaign called ‘Feed the Good.’
Video – http://youtu.be/7KIYoe16q9Q
Created by BBDO, ‘Feed the Good’ is PEDIGREE’s first global campaign in years and is based on the simple, yet universal insight that dogs bring out the good in people as their innocence helps us reconnect with our own. “Studies attest how the companionship of animals transforms and improves people’s lives,” said Leonid Sudakov, Chief Marketing Officer, Global Petcare, Mars, Inc. “By nourishing the loveable innocence in every dog, PEDIGREE helps feed the good they bring to the world.”
Feeding the Good Around the World
PEDIGREE will roll out ‘Feed the Good’ creative, as well as other integrated marketing elements beginning in Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and the U.S., with additional markets slated for later in the year and 2016. The global insight will fuel all of the ‘Feed the Good’ executions, but the creative content is contextually relevant for the markets where it will be featured.
Above and beyond television, print and online advertisements, the campaign will feature various additional integrated marketing efforts including in-store displays, social media, consumer promotions and public relations. In some markets, like New Zealand, the campaign will be supported with world-class digital solutions developed in collaboration with companies like Google.
A ‘Good Fight’ in Australia
The first television commercial in the ‘Feed the Good’ campaign will begin airing on May 4 in Australia. Titled ‘Good Fight,’ the spot opens on several young adults on a street corner who are poised to fight. Just as it’s about to get really heated, one of them notices a loose dog in the middle of a busy street with a despondent owner on the far sidewalk. Suddenly the men forget about their issues and sprint to help protect the dog. The relieved owner joins the two men who saved his dog to thank them – the fight long forgotten.
‘First Days Out’ in Brazil
‘Feed the Good’ launches in Brazil via an online documentary film that follows the real-life journey of two ex-cons – Joey and Matt – who each adopt dogs upon their release from prison. The emotional three-minute video, called ‘First Days Out’ profiles all of the good that comes from these unlikely pairs, including new opportunities, blossoming friendships and mended fences. In addition to the documentary, PEDIGREE will release a 30 second television commercial called ‘Dogs World’ in Brazil later in 2015.
PEDIGREE is the world’s largest dog food brand – in fact, the brand is the world’s sixth largest food brand. ”’Feed the Good’ is just the next chapter in our ongoing, global commitment to make the world a better place for dogs,” added Sudakov.

As part of the 2015 #PepsiChallenge, consumers will have the extraordinary opportunity to re-envision the universally celebrated and recognized can with their own special designs and creative flair in the “Live For Now” Design Challenge.

Led by #PepsiChallenge global ambassador and world-renowned fashion designer and creative director, Nicola Formichetti, the “Live for Now” Design Challenge will kick-off with a design concept from Formichetti, featuring his beloved Nicopanda emblem, that will serve as inspiration and lay the groundwork showcasing where consumers can go with their own submissions. A blank Pepsi can, with only the logo intact, allows consumers to re-imagine the facade of the Pepsi can, with the only limitations their own imagination.
“I find inspiration around me constantly, particularly by the borderless world of design. From fashion and architecture to products and brands, design can be found in many mediums and created by individuals of all talents,” said Formichetti. “The ‘Live for Now’ Design Challenge was a challenge I couldn’t wait to accept and I am excited to see what the world conceives of and shares back.”
Beginning today and continuing through May 13th, submissions from around the world will be accepted on http://www.PepsiChallenge.com, with one (1) winning designer offered a once-of-a-lifetime design experience at the PepsiCo Design & Innovation Center in New York City working alongside PepsiCo’s industry-leading design team.
Top submissions will be judged by Formichetti, PepsiCo’s Senior Vice President and Chief Design Officer Mauro Porcini and a hand-selected committee of design-world notables, including:
Marcelo Burlon, Creative Director
Lapo Elkann, Chairman and Co-Founder of Italia Independent
Karim Rashid, Award-Winning Designer
Franca Sozzani, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Italia
“The new Pepsi Challenge is all about encouraging consumers around the world to step out of their comfort zone and accept a new challenge and opportunity. Design has long been a haven for those who dare to do differently, so we wanted one of our first global challenges to connect with this bold creative class directly,” said Kristin Patrick, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, PepsiCo Global Beverage Brands. “In a year of challenges, we have also turned the lens on ourselves to look at our brand differently. We’re turning over our most cherished piece of equity and our most visible piece of real estate – the facade of the Pepsi can – to consumers around the world to reimagine. We can’t wait to see the results.”
The “Live for Now” Design Challenge follows the Pepsi x Liter of Light “Ignite the Light” Tour where Formichetti challenged creative colleagues around the world to design art installations inspired by light. An international journey of creative, large-scale, mixed media art installations, the “Ignite the Light” Tour brings attention to communities that lack electricity and basic lighting solutions through the Pepsi global partnership with Liter of Light. Every time consumers around the world use the #PepsiChallenge hash tag on public Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or YouTube profiles, Pepsi will donate $1 to Liter of Light to help bring environmentally-friendly, inexpensive and easy to make lights to those around the world who need it most.
With a launch that marked #PepsiChallenge as the #1 Twitter trending topic worldwide, and engagements by and with Pepsi global brand ambassadors and international luminaries, fashion houses and sports celebrities alike, the Pepsi Challenge continues throughout 2015 with additional global and local challenges designed to galvanize consumers around the world to live life to the fullest and make every moment – big or small – epic.

Martell Cognac Celebrates 300th Anniversary With the Announcement of Diane Kruger as the Brand’s Ambassador
PARIS, April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Hollywood actress and self-confessed Francophile Diane Kruger has today been announced as Martell Cognac’s Ambassador for the brand’s 300th anniversary this year.
To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:
http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7499651-martell-cognac-300th-anniversary/
The Martell House was founded in 1715 at the height of French Art de Vivre, a period of time in which gastronomy, tasting and craftsmanship were all celebrated. As the very oldest of the great cognac houses, Martell intends to pay tribute to French Art de Vivre through a range of initiatives in 2015.
Celebrations for the Tricentenaire will be led by Diane Kruger who personifies the very essence of modern-day French Art de Vivre, elegance and style. Having developed an enduring connection with France through her love of acting – which was born and nurtured in the country – she crafted her art at the Cours Florent, one of France’s most prestigious private drama schools.
In her role as Ambassador, Diane will be spearheading the ‘Martell France300’ project to identify 300 ‘ones to watch’ around the world whose combined cultural contribution across gastronomy, art, fashion, mixology and entertainment epitomise French Art de Vivre in the 21st Century.
In a venture designed to replicate the desires of Louis XIV 300 years ago – when he gathered the nation’s most celebrated artists and culturally exciting figures at the court of Versailles – in 2015 the oldest of the great cognac houses, Martell, in partnership with the oldest French lifestyle magazine, L’Officiel, are embarking on a project to identify today’s equivalents. The project will be run in collaboration with Martell and the editorial experts at L’Officiel, with Diane lending her knowledge and experience of the impact of French culture worldwide to the ambitious venture.
Diane Kruger said of the Martell France300 project: “Although I still consider Paris my home, I spend a lot of time on the road and am pleased to see how the French Art de Vivre lifestyle is truly permeating contemporary society on an international scale. I’ve spent much of my life living here in Paris so it’s a huge honour to be asked to join the Martell France300 project. We’re looking to find 300 talented people, all of whom will have to demonstrate exceptional talent and ambition in their field, as well as being bastions for the modern French Art de Vivre lifestyle. I think this initiative in recognition of emerging French talent, is the perfect way for Martell Cognac to celebrate their 300th anniversary this year… and I’m delighted to be a part of it.”
Newly released images from a stunning new shoot shot by Mary McCartney picture Diane in Le Grand Trianon at the Palace of Versailles, to celebrate her appointment to the project.
The complete Martell France300 list will be announced in June 2015.
In addition to the appointment of Diane, Martell is also proud to announce a series of celebrations all around the world.
Philippe Guettat, CEO and Chairman of Martell, commented: “There is much to celebrate in this hugely exciting year for Martell. From the Martell France300 project, to the incredible celebration we have to come at the Palace of Versailles, this is going to be an enormously exciting year for the brand. I’m also honoured to work with an incredible talent like Diane Kruger as our Ambassador, who personifies so many of the Martell brand values in her sophistication and style. It is not very often you get to be part of such a momentous moment in a brand’s history and I’m immensely proud to be a part of it.”

PepsiCo Signs Memorandum of Understanding with Vietnam’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Phivang Collaboration of Farmers to Introduce a Sustainable Contract Farming Model in Vietnam
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Oct. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — PepsiCo Foods Vietnam Company (PFVC) announced today that it has signed a first-of-its-kind Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) and the Phivang Collaboration of Farmers in Vietnam to introduce a sustainable contract potato farming model into Vietnam. The agreement will benefit around 50 small-scale farmers in Lam Dong Province, Vietnam.
As part of the MOU, PFVC will agree a fixed price for the purchase of potatoes from Phivang Collaboration of Farmers at the start of each growing season. This gives assurances to farmers that they have a buyer for their potatoes and at a price that is not subject to market fluctuations. DARD will provide financial assistance to members of the co-operative to purchase seeds and other inputs for the growing season. Finally, the Phivang Collaboration of Farmers will unite farmers to negotiate a secure and stable contract with PepsiCo and provide a forum for farmers to exchange growing techniques.
In addition, PFVC will provide technical agronomy support to the farmers through sharing best practice on techniques to improve yields, save water and promote sustainable agriculture. PFVC has a proven track record of assisting farmers in Vietnam to make their crop cycles more productive. Between 2011 and 2014, PFVC provided agronomy support to their farmers that enabled them to nearly double their average yields.
“PepsiCo is one of the world’s largest agricultural enterprises. Annually we source more than four million tons of potatoes from thousands of local farmers across the globe, and our success depends on securing sustainable supply chains for our key raw materials,” said Huy Nguyen Duc, General Manager, PepsiCo Foods Vietnam Company. “Along with our partners, DARD and the Phivang Collaboration of Farmers, we want to use our combined experience and know-how to work with potato farmers in Vietnam and to play a positive role in the success of sustainable contract farming across Vietnam.”
“The Department for Agriculture and Rural Development believes that this agreement is mutually beneficial to all parties. Phivang farmers are guaranteed a fair price that isn’t subject to market fluctuations for their crop and PepsiCo will receive a stable supply of potatoes,” said Mr Chau, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. “Our plan is to replicate this model throughout Lam Dong province to ensure sustainable production of potatoes, and other vegetables, and to provide security to farmers against market price fluctuations.”
PepsiCo is committed to investing in a healthier future for people and our planet, including respecting, supporting and investing in the local communities where the company operates. PepsiCo calls this commitment “Performance with Purpose.”
PepsiCo is an active member of the World Economic Forum’s ‘Grow Asia’ initiative and the ‘New Vision for Agriculture’. ‘Grow Asia’ is a multi-stakeholder initiative that promotes inclusive and sustainable agricultural growth, especially focusing on smallholder farmer development, food security, and environmental sustainability of agriculture. PFVC leads the fruit and vegetable working group of ‘Grow Asia’ in Vietnam. Through this group, PFVC has been able to introduce their farmers to best practices in sustainably improving crop yields and the quality of their potatoes.

Different facets of Transformed Tokyo’s Akihabara District
TOKYO /PRNewswire/ — Akihabara Electric Town, with its endless variety of electric appliances and its colorful anime signboards, has become the unique and dynamic business center that is a must-see stop for every visitor in Tokyo. The area has come a long way from its previous incarnation as a street market under the elevated railway tracks mainly selling radio parts. These days, tourists and visitors alternately know Akihabara as the world-renowned Electric Town, the center and source of Otaku culture and the home base of the Japanese idol girl group AKB48. However, most visitors are not yet familiar with Akihabara’s “handicraft street”, which seeks to create new value from the area’s traditional culture.
Above: 2k540; Lower left: Leather shop (b3Labo) inside 2k540; Lower right: CAFE&Japanese liquor (N3331) inside mAAch ecute KANDA MANSEIBASHI
The handicraft market “2k540” born under the elevated railway tracks
“2k540” is located underthe elevated railway tracks between the JR Akihabara and Okachimachi stations, about a 6-minute walk from the Akihabara station. The name“2k540” originates from Japanese railway terminology designating the area and stands for the distance from Tokyo Station.
The district has a long history of handicraft making, having been well known as a burgeoning center for craftsmen and artisan culture since the Edo period (1603-1867). It is now home to many handicraft artisans producing leather products and jewelry. Officially known as “2k540 AKI-OKA ARTISAN”, you can experience a new Akihabara that combines tradition and novelty.
“2k540” provides a feel of the good old ages of Akihabara, encompassing close to 50 workshops and craft shops that provide accessories, leather, clothing, stationery, and household products. Various art exhibitions and interactive events are held every month including handmade workshops instructed by craftsmen. Visitors make new and different discoveries each time they return.
“mAAch ecute KANDA MANSEIBASHI” — modern shops are lined up along the red-brick viaduct
On one side of Kanda river is the bustling Akihabara district and on the other, the “mAAch ecute KANDA MANSEIBASHI” with its red-brick viaduct and the continuous line of archway doors stretching out along the river. Visitors can not only stroll through the uniquely designed shops in the “retro” viaduct, but also take a break with a cup of coffee in the cafe as they watch the trains speeding by through the glass windows. The power of both integration and creativity enables “mAAch ecute KANDA MANSEIBASHI” to become an exquisite “retro” venue, which were fully renovated to deliver its rich appearance.
Similar to “Haji Lane” in Singapore and “Tianzifang” in Shanghai, “2k540” and “mAAch ecute KANDA MANSEIBASHI” are Tokyo landmarks. Tourists visiting Tokyo will not want to miss the newly transformed Akihabara.

Frost & Sullivan: Focus on Product Differentiation and Innovation Will Sustain Alcohol Ingredients Market
LONDON /PRNewswire/ — The global alcohol ingredients market, which covers flavours, colours and other ingredients for beers, spirits and wines, is expected to see steady growth despite the dominance of a few companies. While flavours remain the biggest segment in the market, strong growth is projected in the “other ingredients” segment due to booming demand for yeast and enzymes.
Geographically, focus is expected to increase on developing regions such as Asia-Pacific, where consumer spending on alcohol is rising. Understanding the traditional and cultural tastes and preferences of consumers in these regions will be crucial to take full advantage of this trend.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Analysis of the Global Alcohol Ingredients Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $989.2 million in 2013 and estimates this to reach $1.18 billion in 2019. While Western markets – Europe in particular – are the largest consumers, the strongest growth potential is presented by emerging markets such as Asia-Pacific, South Africa and Latin America. Spirits have the largest market share of alcohol beverage ingredients, mainly driven by the extensive use of flavours.
“As innovation is a key success factor in the alcohol beverage industry, new product development is likely to gain pace in the ingredients space,” said Frost & Sullivan Chemicals, Materials & Food Industry Analyst Tosin Jack. “Brand image and customer loyalty will also drive growth, with consumers embracing authenticity and sticking to products they know best.”
However, the decline in alcohol consumption in developed regions reduces the incentives for manufacturers to invest in production, thus, stifling innovation and restraining alcohol ingredients market growth. Campaigns launched to tackle alcoholism also hamper market expansion. Further, price volatility and limited availability of raw materials to manufacture alcohol ingredients are challenging market participants.
“Within this scenario, finding ways to add value to the alcohol ingredients on offer, and providing robust technical support, will be of utmost importance,” noted Ms Jack. “For companies with a global presence, consolidating with regional and smaller companies that have substantial knowledge of the local market will allow them to tailor alcoholic beverage production to suit varying regional and local tastes.”
