THE DIXIE CHICKS
THE DIXIE CHICKS
The Dixie Chicks are a country music group, comprising three
women; Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, and Emily Robison.
Together, they have sold over 36 million albums as of May, 2008.
The group formed in 1989 in Dallas, Texas, and was originally
composed of four women performing bluegrass and country music,
busking and touring the bluegrass festival circuits and small
venues for six years, without attracting a major label. After the
departure of one bandmate, the replacement of their lead singer,
and a slight change in their repertoire, the Dixie Chicks achieved
massive country music and pop success, beginning in 1998 with
hit songs like "Wide Open Spaces", "Cowboy Take Me Away", and
"Long Time Gone". The women became well-known for their
independent spirit and outspoken comments on controversial
subjects, including politics.

‱ Lipton
Lipton is one of the world's best known and best-selling brands of
both hot leaf and ready-to-drink tea. It is currently owned by
Unilever. Over the course of a
century, Lipton has become a dominant tea brand in many
markets. The brand is well-represented in many countries
across the globe, including the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
France, Japan, Australia, and Sweden.
Compared to other tea brands, Lipton has always had a strong
focus on innovation, given its continuous launch of both leaf tea
and ready to drink tea products. Products target the mass
market and are generally positioned in the middle of the price
spectrum for tea. Due to its size, Lipton is also a dominant player
in tea expertise in the world.
In 1991, Unilever created a first joint venture with
PepsiCo, the Pepsi Lipton Partnership, for the
marketing of ready to drink (bottled and canned)
teas in North America. this was followed by a
second joint venture, Pepsi-Lipton International
(PLI) in 2003, covering many non-US markets. PLI
was expanded in September 2007 to include a
number of large European markets. Both PepsiCo
and Unilever control 50% of the shares of these
joint ventures.
Shut up & sing
‱ Deel 1
An ad for Lipton Iced Tea that features the Dixie Chicks is
temporarily on hold, according to people familiar with the
situation. The country music group’s lead singer in March during
a concert was made comments critical of President Bush in the
days leading up to the country’s war with Iraq.
A spokeswoman for Unilever, which jointly markets Lipton with
PepsiCo in the Pepsi-Lipton Tea Partnership, would not
comment on why the Dixie Chicks ad is not running but said,
“Lipton has a number of different advertising and promotional
plans in the works and has opted for now to run the commercials
that currently are on air.”
It’s uncertain when or if the ad will run. The ads were to have
debuted in May to coincide with the group’s first world tour in
three years.
Three current 30-second spots, which focus on getting back to a
healthy way of living, started running in May in the slots
designated for the Dixie Chicks ad, according to one person
familiar with the situation. The person said the ads were rushed
into production after comments made by Natalie Maines, the
group’s lead singer, caused a furor among some country music
fans.
