Diddy's vodka empire, Ciroc, launched a new French Vanilla flavor with rapper French Montana. Spokeswoman Dia Simms, President of Combs Enterprises, joins Cheddar to discuss how Diddy is using social media and celebrity influence to make Ciroc a household name.
Ashanti, Salt Bae, and DJ Khaled are featured in the "Welcome to the Family" campaign, a video series for the new Ciroc French Vanilla flavor. Ciroc also donates a portion of proceeds to charity, tapping into millennial interest in social activism.
Simms also explains how Combs Enterprises captures the millennial audience. She talks about using social media and digital platforms to reach the customer with the "hustle."
A new study shows different strategies may be effective at motivating people to donate, apart from all that “sadvertising.” The study from Nathan Chan, assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Casey Wichman, assistant professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, found that people in good moods are more likely to donate to a charitable cause.
Actor Randall Park is making his feature debut as a director with the upcoming film, "Shortcomings," and spoke with Cheddar News about the movie. Other cast members also joined to talk about the film.
