Coke Comes Up with a New Way to Market Pop Songs in China

But this doesn’t mean there isn’t a voracious appetite for music in China. There is. The trick is finding a way to market it.
Coca-Cola thinks they’ve come up with a cool way to do just that by sharing song lyrics on Coke labels. They call these things “musicons.” The full story can be found at FastCoCreate.
