College kids drink plenty of soda, and Boston is a big college town.

So perhaps it makes sense that Coca-Cola has become the first marketer to partner with UProm-ise, a Boston-based startup. The venture, founded by former agency executive Michael Bronner, is designed to help families save for college while assisting companies in building brand loyalty.

Though details of a letter of intent signed by Coca-Cola and UPromise were not disclosed, it is expected that Coke products will be sold through the UPromise program—either on- or offline—once it officially debuts in October.
