Their BLUE color and the new tag ’REFRESH’ matches perfectly with Obama’s CHANGE
WOW you almost can’t tell the difference between new pepsi and obama, I shall imagine Obama like drinking Pepsi instead of Coke! (Anamaria Irazabal, director-trademark Pepsi, calling any similarities between Pepsi and Mr. Obama’s message a “happy coincidence.”)
Anyway, I think the new Pepsi has produced some nice campaigns
I really like the Humanitarian Lion campaign. If you have no idea of what lion it is, here’s the story:
You should know Crispin’s annual controversial Burger king campaign, last year is the Whopper freakout which I like a lot, this year they have Whoppers Virgin, well not a bad idea I can say. They ask people in Thailand, Romania, Greenland who has never seen & tasted a hamburger before (so call Whopper Virgin) to taste the Whopper & BigMac, of course most of the people like Whoppers, that’s all. The whole Whoppers Virgin campaign is neatly presented, it’s worth to have a look http://www.whoppervirgins.com
But what I want to highlight, is the Humanitarian Lion campaign:
“A Humanitarian Lion supporter produced a video riffing off Burger King’s Whopper Virgins campaign, where documentarians engage Third World inhabitants in hamburger taste tests — and incidentally pop their hamburger-free cherries. ” Apart from the whopper virgins, we have a lot of Nike virign, school virign, human rights virgin in this world. So this is a campaign to ask for a new category in the Cannes Lion award, a category called “Humanitarian Lion”.
Take a look at the burger king’s video and then the humanitarian lion video. (Though I like the Humanitarian campaign, but I really think they should re-think the name of it)
If you ask me what I want to achieve in advertising, I would say I really want to have a successful campaign for a cause, like this one and the baby tree campaign www.mybabytree.org
3) I like the idea and they website to promote the Italian beer Galliano, it’s fun and highly relevant to the brand, it looks easy but from what I see, most of the funny campaign is not related to the brand, or promoting sales, that’s the forever struggle between client and agency. So credit to Galliano http://www.speakgalliano.com.au/ (if they can register the URL in Italy, that’d be better)
