PepsiCo to sponsor Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show

PURCHASE, N.Y. — PepsiCo and the National Football League have extended their multiyear partnership as Pepsi will sponsor the Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show set for Feb. 3, 2013, in New Orleans.

The relationship between PepsiCo and the NFL marks an important extension of the company's "Live for Now" campaign, which looks to capture the excitement of the moment and deliver experiences and content that is current in pop culture. What's more, the announcement follows PepsiCo's newly announced partnership with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"Pepsi's deep-rooted heritage with the Super Bowl and with music truly makes this relationship a natural fit," PepsiCo Beverages VP consumer engagement Adam Harter said. "As the most watched and highly-anticipated entertainment event of the year, the Super Bowl Halftime show is right at the heart of sports and music. We are excited to provide a fully integrated fan engagement experience for NFL and Pepsi fans."
