UNITED STATES: Coca Cola Provides $1 Million Grant to Human Rights Museum

28 Jan UNITED STATES: Coca Cola Provides $1 Million Grant to Human Rights Museum

The 2019 Super Bowl American football championship game will be played this year in Atlanta, Georgia. The game always attracts attention, not only for the on-field prowess of the players and coaches, but also for the quality, cleverness and costliness of the advertising campaigns that it attracts.
