    Next on deck is a list of Olympic sponsors taking to social media. With the summer games around the corner, Adam Vincenzini took a look at some of the ways sponsors such as Coca-Cola, Panasonic, BP, P&G and a few others have harnessed, or in the case of some, miss-fired on the social platform. One in particular that stands out is the P&G Mums campaign. P&G has taken activation to the web, including Pinterest, where they created a board for fans to post a video thanking their mom.
