Cross promote for better results.  One billion cans of Pepsi rolled out in May 2012 plastered with a most unlikely ingredient: Michael Jackson's silhouette.  Pepsi is trying once again to breathe serious life into the deceased King of Pop's global image in a move that has left some marketing experts aghast and others applauding.

The unexpected marketing announcement comes on the heels of a new, global partnership between Pepsi and the estate of Michael Jackson.   Pepsi has lost global market share to rival Coke the past year and is eager to grab some back with what it bills as a 25th anniversary celebration of Jackson's multiplatinum Bad album and tour.  Only time will tell the success of the campaign.
