SUMMARY
In hopes of defying a struggling category, Dr Pepper renewed their College Football sponsorship. There were many things we couldn’t do around the game, like show players or logos. But there was much we could do around fans. Instead of focusing on the field, we turned our attention to the bleachers, parking lots and couches of America to celebrate the irrationality of fans. We became the Gatorade of fandom and, despite soda sales declining for the 14th consecutive year, we saw an unprecedented +3.4% lift in dollar sales.
