Pepsi Australia has launched its latest brand campaign as part of the global “Thirsty For More” platform via Special.
The campaign comes after Pepsi rebranded with a new visual identity, logo, and the “Thirsty For More” brand platform back in March 2024.
“Pepsi is not the habitual first choice for a lot of Australians, but we know it’s a flavour that people enjoy once they try it! So we’re encouraging everyone to wake up from autopilot, skip the ordinary choice, and put enjoyment first in all they do, especially when choosing their cola,” said Susan Press, marketing director, beverages ANZ at Pepsico.
The film was directed by Dave Meyers and features real Australians including star progressive music talent, Kinder, who also created the music track for the spot.
The campaign launched nationwide across digital and social.
