Pepsi MAX is bringing back its Christmas Refreshed TV advert for a second year running, set to reach 52m consumers. This year, the festive campaign will also include a "Win Christmas Your Way" bonanza, encouraging consumers to enter a variety of competitions featured across cinema, supermarkets and outlets. The wider campaign will also include digital, outdoor, social and POS.
The energetic TV advert encourages people to refresh their old Christmas clichés by redefining new ways of doing the festive period. The advert reimagines the traditional sounds of Christmas, using an upbeat, rap soundtrack, focusing on taste of Pepsi MAX, and encouraging people to choose the "bold" way with Pepsi MAX this season. The advert is set to drive brand awareness during a key sales period across channels for Pepsi MAX.
The addition of a competition which will further engage consumers follows a busy year for the brand, as it continues to expand its portfolio of flavours, enticing consumers with a citrus twist in the form of Pepsi MAX Lime across the grocery and convenience channels. As part of Britvic and PepsiCo’s ongoing sustainability commitment, and Britvic’s Healthier People, Healthier Planet strategy, the brand also announced its move to 100 per cent recycled plastic (rPET) across its 500ml and 600ml bottles (excluding caps and labels) in September.
To take advantage of the new competition element, consumers will be able to enter in participating outlets and stores via a unique QR code, displayed. Once scanned, they will be taken to a microsite, where winners will be selected on a daily basis, with a chance to win a variety of prizes. The activation is live now across different retailers and outlets.
