Dunkin' Donuts will showcase both managers through a multi-tiered promotional campaign. Collins and Girardi will be featured in the television and radio campaign, "Fuels Any Series," which will spotlight the friendly rivalry between both managers, with Collins promoting Mocha Iced Coffee and Girardi promoting Caramel Iced Coffee.

Additionally, the managers' likeness will be prominently displayed in Dunkin' Donuts restaurants throughout the New York Metro area, including store standees, door decals and in-store POP. The "Fuels Any Series" campaign will also be leveraged through Dunkin' Donuts' various social media channels during the promotion.

"It is an honor for Dunkin' Donuts to partner with both Terry Collins and Joe Girardi for this exciting promotion. Dunkin' Donuts has a long standing relationship with both the Yankees and Mets and this partnership will be a fantastic way to highlight Dunkin' Donuts' leadership in the iced coffee category," said Russ Romeo, Field Marketing Director for Dunkin' Brands in the Mid-Atlantic Region. "Whether you are a Yankees fan or a Mets fan, Dunkin' Donuts is sure to fuel your summer!"

Collins was named the 20th manager in Mets history on November 23, 2010 and has led the Mets to a 31-25 record this season. He first joined the Mets in 2010 as a Minor League Field Coordinator overseeing all on-field aspects of the Mets' Minor League Spring Training, mini camps and Fall Instructional League. Collins previously spent six years as a major-league manager leading the Anaheim Angels* and Houston Astros* to winning records and second place finishes.

Girardi became manager of the Yankees in 2008, and led the team to their 27th World Championship in 2009. Girardi led the Yankees to the post-season the past three years, and currently has the Yankees near the top of the American League East with a 30-24 record. During his playing career, Girardi spent 15 seasons as a catcher in the big leagues, winning three World Championships with the Yankees (1996, 1998 & 1999). 

Dunkin' Donuts has been at the forefront in developing an innovative process for brewing iced coffee, which has set the standard for the industry. The unique process, called double brewing, uses twice the amount of coffee when making the beverage to achieve consistent flavor and freshness that are never compromised at the expense of serving it cold. The result is a smooth, rich taste sensation--iced coffee that is never bitter or watered down.
