Minute Maid Launches 'Lemonade Brigade'

Minute Maid is challenging consumers to get reacquainted with something that’s missing from the leading powdered lemonade...real lemons. The Minute Maid Challenge offers consumers a full money-back refund if they don’t agree that Minute Maid Premium Lemonade is better than their current lemonade product. The challenge is part of the company’s integrated marketing initiative, which includes the launch of the Lemonade Brigade.

Minute Maid is dispatching the uniformed Minute Maid Lemonade Brigade to major festivals and events across the country in custom-designed, lemon-yellow Volkswagen Beetles, from which they will be challenging kids and adults with interactive games, including a lemon-putting course and trivia contests to win a variety of prizes. The Brigade will also offer free lemonade and coupons.


Audi Mobile Exhibit Launches New Audi TT

Audi of America, Inc. has created a first-of-its-kind see-through mobile exhibit built to showcase Audi’s new sports car, the Audi TT Coupe.

Enormous illuminated glass windows flank each side of the luxury trailer, allowing the TT Coupe to be on display while traveling America’s highways. Inside, the trailer features an Audi performance and heritage display with interactive kiosks.. The 18-wheeler will travel 20,000 miles during its eight-month cross-country tour where it will be on exhibit at numerous nationally-recognized events.

The marketing campaign was created by Audi of America in conjunction with KBA Marketing, Chicago, IL, which is implementing the tour across the country.


Nickelodeon & MLB Forge Partnership

Nickelodeon will partner with Major League Baseball to create a joint merchandising campaign based on Rugrats. The product line, which integrates the program’s characters with Major League Baseball’s clubs, launches at mass market in spring 2000.

"Nickelodeon has tremendous brand equity with kids," said Tim Brosnan, Major League Baseball Properties Sr. V.P. "Our partnership with Nickelodeon is part of an overall marketing campaign to engage younger fans in baseball."


MLB Road Show Promotes Baseball

Major League Baseball (MLB), and Jif peanut butter, have launched a nationwide mobile marketing tour called the "Club MLB Road Show Presented by Jif Smooth Sensations."

The exhibit will include visits to marquee events, fairs, festivals as well as Major League stadiums in more than 20 markets across the U.S. The exhibit is outfitted with batting and pitching cages, interactive computer kiosks, a steal home challenge, and a mammoth LED video screen. Complimenting the interactive areas touting baseball, there will be a Jif ‘Sensations Station’ sampling tent and wandering samplers dedicated to distributing individual portions of Jif Smooth Sensations.


Canon U.S.A. has launched a mobile marketing vehicle, a 53-foot long showroom on wheels, that will be a traveling showcase for Canon products and philanthropic programs. The program will offer visitors interactive demonstrations through "touch and try" stations for Canon products, including copiers, scanners, printers and networked multifunction devices. The trailer will travel to various special events, trade shows and retail promotions throughout the year. "The Canon mobile marketing vehicle will enable us to build brand awareness for Canon products while creating visibility for the charitable causes the company supports," said Tim Andree, V.P.
