Parents Television Council Awards Coca-Cola® Advertiser Seal of Approval

 

LOS ANGELES, CA - The Parents Television Council, the nation's most influential advocacy organization protecting children against sex, violence and profanity in entertainment™ named Coca-Cola an Advertiser Seal of Approval recipient for 2005-2006.

 

Annually the Parents Television Council names the top ten advertisers that support, through their television advertising, programs that are socially-responsible and family-friendly. The award salutes corporations that promote quality entertainment, rather than programs that are filled with gratuitous sexual content, graphic violence or profanity.

 

"We commend Coca-Cola for being a responsible advertiser," PTC Executive Director Tim Winter said. "By placing their advertisements on shows that are positive and not violent or sexually graphic, Coca-Cola is showing its respect for American families."

 

Begun in 1886 the company has evolved from one product (Coca-Cola) to more than 400 brands in 2006. It's grown from selling a modest nine drinks a day in 1886 to more than 1.3 billion a day! Coca-Cola is currently sold in more than 200 countries around the world.
