Fruity Branding

ABC is going bananas. But slapping stickers on fruit is just one part of the new US$16 million ad campaign the network hopes will be seen at least 44 times this summer by the average adult American under age 50. ABC hopes the omnipresent branding campaign -- billboards, coffee cups, garbage cans, and, of course, television -- will make the network "the champions of television." Why bananas? Yellow returns as the network's primary color.
