The brand aired a new 30-second ad titled “For Everyone” during the May 24 telecast. Jaideep Kibe, VP for the Coca-Cola trademark in North America, said the creative “showcases the optimism and togetherness that are hallmarks of our brand at a time when Americans need positivity the most, and honors the countless acts of selflessness, kindness and courage demonstrated by millions across the country.” “For Everyone” is a localized, English-language version of a Spanish-language spot (“Por Todos”) from Mercado McCann in Argentina Coke released this month in Latin America and Spain. KO:OP, Coca-Cola North America’s in-house creative agency, managed the edit.The ad premiered Sunday May 17 during NASCAR’s spectator-free return at Darlington Raceway, ending Coke’s seven-week hiatus from the airwaves, and aired again on Thursday May 21 during the Darlington 500 ahead of this weekend’s race.

  • Revlon


Revlon and its global media agency Initiative have parted ways about two years after the IPG shop won the business after a formal review, Mediapost reports.  In the U.S., the cosmetics company spent about US $30 million on measured media last year, according to Kantar. Initiative confirmed the split in a brief statement: “A few weeks ago, we ended our global relationship with Revlon. We wish them every success in the future.” Revlon also created The Red House, an in-house ad agency in 2018, where it shifted creative duties that previously had been handled by Grey. It’s not clear if Revlon is bringing media in-house or looking for another agency or both.

  • Budweiser

Budweiser has brought on Allison+Partners as its US PR agency of record following a competitive pitch that took place virtually this month. Duties include integrated communications planning and PR support for brand initiatives, product launches and sponsorships. Budweiser handles social media in-house. Budweiser’s previous consumer agencies have included Weber Shandwick, which continues to work on many other Anheuser-Busch brands. “Budweiser is more sure of what it stands for than ever before: authenticity, progress, and community,” said Monica Rustgi, vice president of marketing for Budweiser. “Our standards as a brand are as central as the people that work behind it. As we look towards making a new generation of drinkers fall in love with Budweiser in the way generations before have, we knew we needed to also have partners who withhold the same values and culture as us.”
