The trio, in partnership with Pepsi Zero Sugar, encourages fans to participate in this unique contest for a chance to win a memorable Carnival cruise journey.
“Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane emphasizes the thrill of embracing new experiences, whether on the football field or at sea. Partnering with Pepsi Zero Sugar, I am excited to inspire both future NFL rookies and rookie cruisers to embark on exhilarating adventures,” said Achane.
Scott Finlow, CMO of PepsiCo Global Foodservice, highlights the enthusiasm and energy these NFL rookies brought to their first season. “Our goal is to channel this passion into the ‘Board a Rookie. Return a Pro.’ campaign, allowing first-time cruisers to enjoy their own rookie adventure.”
