Pepsi: #betterwithpepsi
Over the past month, Pepsi has been making itself very clear: its fizzy drink goes better with burgers than rival coca-cola. Like burger king, the challenger brand always has more fun.
Pepsi has commemorated #Nationalburgerday on Friday (28 May) with a simple but effective execution using packaging from fast food joint Burgerking, Wendy’s, Mcdonal’s and circling where the Pepsi logo coincidentally appears. all to illustrate that its drink naturally goes with burger.
Teasing: ” even when we’re not on the menu, we’re on the picture” the ads is a part of competition to win a Pepsi to accompany your burger, to encourage more consumers to make the switch from coca-cola. All they need to do is share a photo of themselves with a Pepsi and any burger on social media with the hashtag, and it will provide a rebate for the price cost.
The ad campaign is part of wider #BetterWithPepsi push it started earlier in May. After Pepsi commissioned a third-party blind taste test and consumer survey to discover how burgers with signature offering from the top three burger chains paired with different beverage 60% of participants preferred their Big mac, whopper and Dave’s single with Pepsi over coke.
“part of being a challenger brand is having the confidence to call out unarticulated cultural truths…especially when they are at odds with a fundamental truth about your product. we have a lay known that burger go better with Pepsi_ yet for over 30+ years, the top three burger chains have denied US consumer the opportunity to enjoy the optimal taste combination they truly deserve a burger with an ice-cold refreshing Pepsi. and upon learning 60% of participants preferred Pepsi over coke with their Big Mac, whoppers, and dave’s singles, we knew it was time to act.
This is why this Friday – on National Hamburger Day – we will enable consumers with the opportunity to try any burgers of their choice with Pepsi- even if the burger is from a restaurant that doesn’t serve our products and we will pay for the Pepsi….because after all, Burger go #BetterWithPepsi!”
