DALLAS, TX, TEXAS, Nov. 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fatboy® USA, the imaginative lifestyle brand that enhances living and working spaces, is excited to announce its upcoming partnership with Coca-Cola and The American Music Awards in bringing awareness to the fight against AIDS, and providing tools that cultivate an innovative and thoughtful atmosphere at the AMAs.
As a proud Special Edition partner of (RED) since 2012, Fatboy® USA has continually innovated the ways in which it supports (RED) to help in the fight for an AIDS FREE GENERATION. As a partner with (RED) and Coca Cola, Fatboy® has the privilege of providing their signature (FATBOY)RED Originals to furnish several activation areas at the 2013 AMAs. This partnership is poised to deliver a creative and conscious statement to the much-anticipated night of celebration.
"Our partnership with (RED) over the past year has truly opened our eyes to the many ways in which Fatboy can help raise awareness and rally people around the AIDS fight, and stand for something bigger than ourselves," said Paula Masters, CEO and President of Fatboy® USA. "The opportunity to spread awareness with our (RED) Originals line at the American Music Awards is not only a testament to the conscientiousness of Coca-Cola and American Music Awards, but also the charitable mindset of artists and fans alike."
Throughout the night, Coca-Cola will host several events that will feature (FATBOY)RED Originals branded with the Coca-Cola logo, creating a cool and comfortable atmosphere for hosts and artists alike. These events include: the Coca-Cola Lounge where celebrities will have their first stop for interviews on the red carpet, the Gifting Lounge which is where presenters and winners will receive (COCA-COLA)RED branded giveaways, and the official American Music Awards After Party where live musical acts will entertain and bring the star-studded red carpet to life.
Through a dance-inspired integration with the Coca-Cola Red Carpet LIVE! Digital Pre-Show, America's Best Dance Crew" Season 1 winners, the Jabbawockeez, will perform live on the red carpet in a routine dedicated to encouraging people to support for the fight to end AIDS.
Artwork for this unprecedented night is being commissioned by famous graffiti artist, Mr. Brainwash, who will create a fun and engaging backdrop for another of the key Coca-Cola interview areas, the Coke Stage.
Fans watching the Coca-Cola Red Carpet LIVE! Digital-Pre Show will have another opportunity to get in on the exciting action through an exclusive sweepstakes via SMS promotion. By texting COKERED to 26739 during the pre-show, two viewers will be selected during the pre-show, to receive a trip for two to visit Los Angeles on World AIDS Day. The winners and their guests will attend a dance party celebrating the release of (RED)'s forthcoming 2013 compilation album, DANCE (RED), SAVES LIVES2. This album and subsequent dance party will raise funds and awareness to support the work of the Global Fund.
Held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on November 24th, 2013 with the Coca-Cola Red Carpet LIVE! Digital Pre-show starting at 5 p.m. ET, The American Music Awards are sure to provide the unique space and immense star quality that is always in keeping character of the AMA's.
