New Dunkin' Donuts Channel on YouTube Offers Chance for Public to Create
Videos and Win a Year's Supply of Coffee
CANTON, MA (January 23, 2008) - Dunkin' Donuts, the world's largest
coffee and baked goods chain, recently launched a Dunkin' Donuts brand channel
(www.youtube.com/dunkindonuts) on YouTube™, the leading online
video community that allows people to discover, watch and share originally
created videos.
Through March 1, 2008, people across the U.S. are invited to create videos to
share on YouTube, which receives more than 57 million visitors a month. Dunkin'
Donuts is inviting hard-working Americans to answer the question, "How Do You
Keep America Running?" A panel of judges will evaluate the submissions, and
visitors to the site will rate the videos to determine 50 winners who will
receive a year's supply of Dunkin' Donuts coffee. The top ten videos may also be
featured on www.DunkinDonuts.com and other web sites.
"Our loyal customers regularly tell us stories, both heart-warming and funny,
about how they keep this country running," said Dunkin' Donuts Brand Marketing
Officer Frances Allen. "We're pleased to launch our new YouTube channel to give
people a chance to tell their unique stories in their own creative way."
User-generated videos can be serious, heartwarming or fun, while telling the
story of how each person keeps America running, such as a Little League coach
who's been cheering on his teams for 30 years, or a teacher who's always gone
the extra mile for her students.
The Dunkin' Donuts video contest will be supported through online advertising
with YouTube channels and its partners, Google, CNN.com/living and other online
communities. For more information, including complete rules and eligibility,
