'fizzy drink' is the definition.
'sprite' can be an answer for 'drink' (brand of soft drink). I am unsure of the 'fizzy' bit.

'marketing in place' is the wordplay.
'marketing' becomes 'pr' (abbreviation for public relations).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'place' becomes 'site' (synonyms).
'pr' inserted inside 'site' is 'SPRITE'.

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sprite that I've seen before include "Naiad" , "Small, playful fairy" , "water pixie" , "Puck, say" , "sports car" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
