Pepsi gets Beyonce Knowles
as its face once more for estimated $50 million. The soda brand has
struck a new deal with the singer for her to appear on its advertisement
and new commercial in addition to investment in her independent
artistic ventures.
Her new TV ad for the soft drink company will be debuted after her Super
Bowl XLVII halftime performance on February 3. PepsiCo is a sponsor of
the big sport event. Beyonce's face will also be found on limited
edition cans that start going on market in March. The deal also includes
a sponsorship of her tour next year to promote her new album as well as
other projects like live events, videos or "a cool photo shoot".
"Pepsi embraces creativity and understands that artists evolve," Beyonce
said in a statement via The New York Times. "As a businesswoman, this
allows me to work with a lifestyle brand with no compromise and without
sacrificing my creativity."
Lee Anne Callahan-Longo, general manager of Beyonce's Parkwood
Entertainment, said that they have already been in early stages of these
projects' development.
Beyonce and Pepsi have been in partnership since 2001. The company recruited Nicki Minaj earlier this year to appear on its first global campaign, using her song "Moment 4 Life".
