This Nissan March edition, the Brazilian market’s first Japanese compact car, comes with the official logo of the Rio 2016™ Games displayed on its boot and sides.

The Nissan March Rio 2016 edition brings innovations to the original model such as a 2DIN sized CD Player, 15” alloy wheel rims, fog lamps, two-toned seats (black and grey) and colour matched door handles.

After a year in the market, there were more than 35 thousand units of the Nissan March sold since September 2011, when it was launched. The São Paulo International Motor Show started this Tuesday the 24th and will last until 4th November.

No, Danny, you're wrong, the media has been consistent. This article confirms everything that a Bloomberg article three months ago stated (see http://www.gamesbids.com/forums/topic/18234-rio-2016-news/page-50), namely that the OCOG budget has gone up and to try to plug the gap and avoid more public money going towards the Games, Rio 2016 has been forced to up its sponsorship target to a record amount for a Summer Games.

Only in the next few years will we see whether it's able to raise such an amount, or whether it will fall short. Rio has not broken any records yet, but it needs to to avoid budget shortfall, basically.

Three more deals lined up for Rio 2016

February 24, 2014 09:02 AM

Rio 2016 is on the cusp of announcing three tier-two sponsorships that will boost total sponsorship revenue to two-thirds of its goal of raising $1.3 billion.

“We should be close to London [which raised $1 billion] two years before the Games,” said Renato Ciuchini, Rio 2016’s chief commercial officer.

Since joining the staff in 2012, Rio 2016 has added deals with InBev, Cisco, Correos, Sadia (packaged foods) and Batavo (dairy). The organizing committee already had deals with Nissan, Bradesco, Embratel, Nike and others.

Ciuchini and his team are working on deals with a language services provider, a data storage company and a market research company. He hopes to add an airline sponsor, software company and two apparel companies — one for volunteer outfits and another for opening ceremony attire for the Brazilian national team.

“We have split tech and divided it because not any one company can do all these products,” Ciuchini said.

Ciuchini also is looking for one more tier-one sponsor. He believes it could be an industrial company, and he’s eyeing the steel and gas industries.

Though the Brazilian economy has cooled considerably since Rio was awarded the Games in 2009, Ciuchini said that hasn’t dampened sponsorship interest “because the decision is at the board level and it’s a long-term decision.”

“Emerging market economies are going through a critical moment,” he said, “but my perception is executives believe in emerging economies.”

Rio 2016 is preparing for potential protests during the 2016 Games, but Ciuchini said he plans to work with sponsors to mitigate the risk that could mean for sponsors. He hopes everyone will work together to highlight how many people the Rio Games will employ and what social responsibility efforts sponsors are undertaking.

Despite the protests during last year’s FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil, sponsors are expressing major interest in doing hospitality programs in Rio. That doesn’t surprise Ciuchini.

“Rio has this combination of being a cool place with cool people and beautiful beaches,” he said. “It’s set in an emerging economy. People want to be there.”

Rio 2016 and Dow Partner to Implement the Most Comprehensive Carbon Program in Olympic Games History

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sep 22, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rio 2016 announced today The Dow Chemical Company DOW, -0.62% as the Official Carbon Partner of the next Olympic Games, having the goal of creating climate benefits to mitigate the direct greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from the organization and hosting of the event. Worldwide Olympic Partner Dow becomes the first partner of Rio 2016’s “Abraça (‘Embrace’) Sustainability”, the program developed by the Organizing Committee to promote and stage the Games with low environmental impact and a positive social legacy.

“For Rio 2016, sustainability is an imperative, being present from the early stages of preparation to the delivery and post-Games. Responsibility for the management of our carbon emissions is a commitment from the Games’ bid. Additionally, the technologies being implemented will create a legacy for strategic sectors of the Brazilian economy,” said Tânia Braga, head of sustainability for Rio 2016. “This is a big challenge, but I’m confident that we’ll achieve our goals with the most comprehensive carbon mitigation program in the history of the Olympic Games.”

As the Official Carbon Partner of Rio 2016, Dow will mitigate 500,000 tons of CO2 equivalents (CO2eq) from organizing and hosting the Games through 3rd party-verified emissions reductions. Dow and Rio 2016 will also work to generate an additional 1.5 million tons of CO2eq in climate benefits by 2026, addressing other Games-related emissions.

“More than being the Official Chemistry Company of the Olympic Games, Dow is a global leader in low-carbon technology solutions, which makes Dow a natural fit as our partner in the ‘Abraça Sustainability’ platform,” says Renato Ciuchini, chief commercial officer, Rio 2016. “The guiding principle for ‘Abraça’ is to maximize sustainability within the Games. Our actions should be good for the environment, good for people and good for business. The partnership with Dow is fully aligned with our goals and expectations, as it opens doors for different businesses and industries to lower their carbon footprints and ultimately contribute to one of Rio 2016’s key sustainability goals, which is the mitigation of its own emissions.”

Athletes will go from riding in Beamers in London to Nissan's in Rio. Talk about a downgrade.

Nissan don't produce buses in Brazil and to import them are out of question due the laws in Brazil.

So athletes will be moving in Mercedes-Benz engine Marcopolo buses with stickers of Nissan, like in the World Cup (at that time with stickers of Hyundai/Kia).

The Rio OCOG will probably be moving in Nissan Fronteirs, Sentras, Marchs and Versa sedans...

Any car can become luxurious with (sometimes extreme) customization. Nissan may not have the same title and recognition as a a BMW, but that doesn't mean they can't pimp it out to it's fullest extent.

Coca-Cola Celebrates Gold Medal Moments in Campaign for Rio Olympics

Swimmer Nathan Adrian appears in Coca-Cola's #ThatsGold spots. Coca-Cola

The joy of winning an Olympic gold medal is comparable to some of the emotional highs in life, and Coca-Cola is exploring that feeling in its campaign for the 2016 games.

The campaign, #ThatsGold, from Ogilvy & Mather Brazil, builds on Coca-Cola's current "Taste the Feeling" campaign. TV and print ads will feature 79 Olympic athletes from 23 countries, including U.S. swimmer Nathan Adrian and soccer star Alex Morgan. A montage of athletes' gold medal moments is interspersed with footage of people experiencing everyday moments of excitement.

"There are so many gold moments that happen off the podium. It's about day-to-day, simple pleasures that are all about joy and uplift, whatever is a special moment that you'll share with friends and family, and celebrating our relationships with the Olympians, too. We're trying to position Coca-Cola as a simple pleasure that makes moments more special," said Rodolfo Echeverria, global vp, creative and connections at Coca-Cola.

The 2016 Olympics marks 88 years of Olympic partnership for Coca-Cola, which has been an Olympic sponsor since 1928.

"There's something that's so powerful about the Olympics. It brings together experiences of mutual understandings, friendships, solidarity, togetherness, inclusion and equality," said Ivan Pollard, svp, strategic marketing at Coca-Cola. "This year's campaign is special because it's not about watching someone win a gold medal, it's about watching their face when they do. It's exactly the same feeling you have when you teach your children to ride a bicycle, or when your son graduates from college."

Coca-Cola's Olympic efforts also include sponsorship of the 2016 Olympic Torch Relay, which will make stops in 320 cities around the world. Commemorative cans and bottles will also feature Olympic athletes from the campaign.

The Coca-Cola Olympic Station, a brand activation center aimed at teens on site in Rio, will include athlete appearances and musical performances. Coca-Cola also tapped global influencers, including Australian singers Cody and Alli Simpson, Canadian actress and fashion blogger Allie Evans and British YouTuber Jake Boys, to create and share Olympics-themed content on social media.
