SunnyD And Country Music Songstress Martina McBride Encourage Moms To Share Stories Of Their Children’s Shining Moments For The Chance To Win $10,000 And A VIP Trip To Meet Martina At A Performance in Nashville

Nashville, Tenn. (March 10, 2010) --- SunnyD partners with Martina McBride – Superstar and Mom – to encourage the shining moments of children in a national marketing campaign. This marks SunnyD’s first music and entertainment partnership. The partnership is a fun and exciting way for SunnyD to connect with Martina’s fans who share an optimistic and youthful outlook with the brand. The campaign includes a national TV, print and retail campaign, national consumer promotion, and concert tour sponsorship.

"SunnyD is delighted to be partnering with Martina McBride for the Time to Shine promotion. This partnership is a great fit as it brings together two enduring, spirited brands that encourage children to achieve their best,” said Mark Ozimek, Assistant Brand Manager for SunnyD. "Martina's music is all about optimism. And since 1964, SunnyD has been bringing out the best in kids."

"Every child has their own unique qualities and interests and as a mom I know how important it is to help nurture those attributes," said Martina. "I love that SunnyD is celebrating and encouraging the spirits of kids nationwide and am honored they asked me to help. I can't think of anything more important to champion than our children's future."

Both Martina and SunnyD believe that every child shines at something and they are celebrating kids’ bright spirits through the “Time to Shine” promotion. Consumers are encouraged to pick up a bottle of SunnyD, go to www.sunnyd.com and share a brief story about how their child shines. The grand prize winner receives $10,000 and a VIP trip to meet Martina at a performance in Nashville! Monthly winners are also chosen to receive gifts which are scholarships and/or other prizes to encourage them to continue achieving excellent results (for example, a soccer player may receive a scholarship to a soccer camp). No one goes home empty handed because each entrant receives a free three-month Martina McBride fan club membership and access to exclusive behind the scenes footage from the SunnyD Shine All Night Tour.

As part of the campaign, Martina is featured in SunnyD television commercials which feature shadows of children celebrating in every day moments. Martina also recorded the “Shine On” jingle for the commercial campaign. In magazines such as People and Better Homes & Gardens, SunnyD print ads feature Martina and drive consumers to SunnyD.com to enter the “Time to Shine” promotion.

A new website, featuring video and audio of Martina, was also developed for the “Time to Shine” promotion. Consumers can either enter the contest, or scroll through the numerous entries that are posted on the site.

Fans will also find Martina and the “Time to Shine” promotion featured on select SunnyD bottles and on retail merchandising materials.

SunnyD’s mobile tour, including the brand’s signature VW van, will be visiting select concerts to offer fans fun and interactive experiences. Text to Screen Promotions allow fans to send messages to Martina and enter to win a new ipod fully loaded with Martina McBride music along with other SunnyD prizes. Playing into the party atmosphere of the SHINE ALL NIGHT TOUR, SunnyD will be tossing T-shirts, Beach balls, and distributing other items to the crowd during the concert. Fans receive a free bottle of SunnyD on the way out the door allowing fans to “Shine On” long after the concert experience.
