Let us know here.

Sponsor me to help sell your brand since I can't afford tickets at the current price? Just kidding, pardon my shamelessness but it never hurts to ask, right? ;)
- Mona Nomura
@Mona N. Of course we'd love to bring everyone who loves our brand but unfortunately we can't! However, what we can do is help to bring the best of SxSW from Austin out to the folks who can't attend this year. More to come on this soon....
- Josh Karpf
Looking forward to the announcement, Josh!

@Tyson Key Thanks for the note Tyson. Rollout is in North America right now but will ask Bart if he can comment on UK. Thanks
- Josh Karpf
Bought a 12 pack earlier this week. Old packaging on the outside, new cans on the inside. Nice surprise. The Diet Pepsi design looks way cool, and better in person than in photos. Bravo!
- Mark Edwards
@Tyson -- as a global brand, we are working to eventually roll out a consistent brand identity around the world, but exact details and timing for the UK are TBD.
- Bart Casabona
Apologies for the double post back then. Thanks for the update, Bart.

For the 2nd time in the last 3 months, I came home from the Grocery store and viola, the Pepsi 12-Pack Packaging rips right at the built-in handle. The box falls to the floor and a couple cans come flying out! The first time this happened was in my parking garage in front of my very pretty neighbor and while she was nice enough to help me pick up the cans, she got sprayed in the face pretty good by a can that was punctured when it fell out of the box. That was embarrassing and she has not talked to me since

This Op-Ed was written by Frank Cooper, who runs Pepsi's beverage portfolio. It reflects a survey Pepsi recently conducted which says that America's Millenial generation (ages 18-24) are overwhelming hopeful about the future despite current global conditions. Take a read and let us know what you think.

If you could deliver a personal message of change to the president, what would you say? Tell us at Refresheverything.com, a new program designed to get Americans to share ideas about how to refresh our nation.

If you could deliver a message to the new president, what would you say? In advance of the inauguration, Pepsi just launched this site in conjunction with Youtube allowing users to videotape a message to their incoming president. Take a second and send us your thoughts...

Great year-end recap of the best social media dialogue in 2008. Must read piece for anyone looking to better understand the space, and use it to connect consumers and brands....happy new year!

I wanted to make sure everyone saw this great piece. Any thoughts on this? Valeria shares a great story of growing up in Italy and only being able to "sip" soda at parties. Any other stories out there?

Great, funny post from Shannon Paul. I, for one, am committed to social media and not just dating—even going back to my old job employer, GE, where our team worked to build a long term strategy in this area There are many companies with great people looking for a long term relationship here!

Isn't it 3 or 4 years old? I think its a cool service but its fundamentally the same as it was from day one (which is a good thing).

It is a few years old but Jamie, it has grown. Check it out,

Making money! Does that mean turning a profit or just generating revenue?

Some more new product shots from the Pepsi Fan Pool on Flickr. Thanks for posting... There are lots of opinions on the design which makes sense with a product that people feel such an emotional attachment to. Are you seeing the new product by you? What are you thoughts? Let us know...thanks!

Wanted to let everyone know that PepsiCo just re-launched its company site. Bigger emphasis the brands; as well as environmental and nutrition themes. Looking to "socialize" this site in 2009...would love your thoughts on this..happy holidays!

Thanks Jason for the thoughtful, balanced review. Jason has great ideas around “socializing” the brand – making it iconic and re-introducing Pepsi as a cultural symbol. Social media activism is one step in creating cultural relevance but certainly not the only step. It's one piece of a larger plan. Thoughts?

Todd Jordan curates a great flickr pool of Pepsi-related imagery. There is some great vintage work as well as some pics of the new identity out in the market. Todd's been vocal on our program and I wanted to make sure we pointed out the room. Thanks for being such a loyal fan!

Per Steve's post Monday on the "the Pepsi 25," there is some fresh debate and dialogue taking place on Rohit's blog. Check out the "comments" section for some good debate on the merits of "targeting social media" experts vs. other evangelists. More to come on this....
