Austin, Texas — Pepsi’s “Refresh Everything” social campaign has certainly caught the attention of marketers and consumers in the last two years. But hiring social media strategist Shiv Singh away from digital shop Razorfish in mid-2010 was another clear signal that the beverages/snacks company was serious about interactive marketing.

Singh and his team have worked with Foursquare and Stickybits in the geo-social realm, while partnering with Facebook to insert the “like” button into display ads across publisher networks.
