Executive Summary
Beiersdorf's Nivea brand sponsored New York's Times Square for New Year's Eve for the second year, urging people to "make 2010 a year of love, hugs and kisses." Celebrity pair Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo - "one of America's most romantic couples" - hosted Nivea's Kiss Platform and helped ring in the New Year. "As a brand, Nivea values the importance of human connections, which is why there is no better place to be than Times Square on New Year's, where the whole world comes together to celebrate the start of 2010," says Marketing VP Nicolas Maurer.
