Coca-Cola: Share Some Team Spirit

Coca-Cola unveiled the new commercial “Share Some Team Spirit.” Thiel College was featured in this Coca-Cola’s new college football advertising campaign. In the advert, Thiel, like iconic football hero Rudy, overcomes all odds to earn accolades from and the admiration of national college football fans and powerhouse teams like Alabama, Clemson, and Georgia. In the end, they all raise a Coke in support of Thiel College. Saturday’s broadcast and the subsequent showings of the ads will put Thiel College in front of millions of viewers from around the country.

“We are thrilled about Thiel College’s starring role on national TV in Coca-Cola’s new college football campaign,” Thiel College President Susan Traverso, Ph.D., said. “The ad speaks to the pride and belief we have in our football team, but also in all of our athletic programs and academic departments. This thunderclap of national attention builds on the College’s recent positive momentum. The exposure and excitement are perfectly timed to coincide with the arrival of our full first-year student class and the return of the rest of our students on Sunday.

“It is a great day to be a Tomcat!”
