Coca-Cola regains title as ‘official drink of Ocean City’

The ink is dry on Coca-Cola’s beverage contract with the resort and the soft drink titan is looking for future marketing possibilities now that it’s “the official soft drink of Ocean City.”

Cocoa-Cola, a resort sponsor since 2012, offered to renew a five-year contract in April. The contract mandates Coke will donate approximately $19,000 in products per year.

The company would also provide $15,000 in marketing support each year, including Coke-branded umbrellas for the Beach Patrol and volleyball nets.

Recreation and Parks Director Susan Petito said Coke would continue to support events with $15,000 annual sponsorships each year for the Swing for Youth Golf Open, the Christmas Parade and Winterfest New Year Eve party, as well as trying out some fresh ideas.

Just another classic case for OC officials extorting money from vendors. Coke should really boycott the town.

It's branding. Corporate/municipal ink. It means money,products, and services. Have you noticed the names of stadiums and arenas?
