For most people, the Montreux Jazz Festival need no introduction: it is now an annual tradition that, for over 35 years, brings the world's best musicians back to the Swiss Riviera to play to bigger and bigger crowds each year. In 2008 Nestlé was both a corporate and product sponsor of this prestigious event with Nescafé, KitKat, Frisco and some Nestlé Waters brands. Some figures help gauge the vast impact of this festival.
