The lightning bolt I logged into [...]
Coke is trying to play catch-up with Pepsi
Image via Wikipedia I first want to say – Pepsi’s idea to skip the super bowl and work the social angle is fantastic. So this decision by Coke to follow is too little to late for me. Check it out at socialtimes: Coca Cola is planning to run a social media campaign on Facebook during [...]
