Douglas Simon President & CEO of D S Simon Productions had a conversation with Peter Land, Senior Vice President of Communications for PepsiCo Beverages Americas (PBA) about how the changes in media consumption change his role. Peter is a keynote presenter at Bulldog Media Relations Summit in NYC June 28th.


Some of Peter’s Vlog Views:
“What we do at PepsiCo is we have a model where we put a circle around everything we do, knowing there are multiple stakeholders… It’s not just the consumer although, obviously, it’s our most critical audience”

“We have turned over control of a couple of brands (to the public) and Mountain Dew is one example: The fans of Mountain Dew (Dewmocracy) came up with the packaging, advertising campaign, the taste profile and they said to us we like this best so will you make an SKU# of this and we did”

D Simon Productions has partnered with the Bulldog Media Relations Summit which is being held June 28 and 29th in NYC.
