Comment on Pepsi gives money for others to pursue “great ideas” instead of doing great things themselves. by gregcargill

Thanks for your feedback, this is my favorite part about social media!

Any potential sickness caused by bacteria can be avoided by consumers periodically washing their own personal containers.

The larger point you are trying to raise highlights the issue I am trying to address. Yes Pepsi and the other companies can make things that consumers want and use their profits as they see fit. I am not asking Pepsi (both the entity and the consumer) to prove that it cares. I am asking the talented and educated people who run Pepsi to do something great and prove that they care about the future of the human race and the Earth because leaders in powerful positions can change the course of the world.

And I agree that $20 million going to good causes makes a difference, I just believe that in this case the cost of that money is resulting in a negative sum deal for us as a whole.

The big risk that your idea ignores is sickness caused by bacteria growing in the reusable containers you want to give out. Beyond this you should have a broader perspective:
Pepsi sells sugar water that is driving less and less profit for their shareholders. Many people do know that too many non-nutritious calories is bad for them and the bottles are bad for the enviroment — but they buy Pepsi & Coke & MacDonalds, etc anyway. You don't. Other people do. Consumer choice. It makes the world go round.
Pepsi's money is doing real good for real people. They could have used that money many different ways, they could have dropped it to the bottom line. They are using this money to help others do good things. Maybe it changes public perception, maybe it encourages people to drink Pepsi, maybe not. How they spend it is their choice.
Pepsi doesn't need to prove they care. People will decide that on their own.
I guess we'll all stand back and watch what happens.
(But the $20MM is going to good causes and is making a difference — you can't deny that).

Good point on metrics and analytics.

What I also think is missing from most Agency project is a focus on
- targeting and relevance. What’s the point building metrics over apple and oranges.
As with any analytics, clean and high quality data is a pre requisite for value added analysis and unless one map communities, zoom on a targeted audience (i.e not “social media”) there is very little that can be learned.

- attention. monitoring river of news and even having sparse conversations with people that happen to mention your brand is not the right way to built up your attention/reputation or leverage community in a product launch. This requires relationship building with the 100’s of people that drive the community: the influencers
