Design Challenge
This initiative was very an intuitive design program that relied heavily on understanding the culture of each city. To learn and gain insights we worked diligently to understand and translate the meaningful cultural associations and the arts that thrive within each individual city. A detailed process which took 6 months to complete. This was supported by a light qualitative process to access the design approach. In the end, we recognised that cultural-art has widespread appeal and launched with the confidence of knowing we had a well designed can series.
Research
This is an ongoing program globally for the Pepsi brand, however, this is the first time we've explored hyperlocality as the theme for Design. It was a huge success with incredible results. Not only in sales volume, but also in building brand awareness and earned media. Across all social platforms we watched millions of people share posts of the series itself and millions of reposts in terms of the content we had also developed.
Inspiration
These six collectible limited-edition cans tell authentic stories from the six cities they represent in Mexico. Collectively creating a series they are inspired by local stories and traditions that make that particular region unique. Through storytelling and local art references, Pepsi brought the uniqueness of six Mexican cities together.
Project Duration
The initiative started in the fall of 2020 in Mexico with a nationwide distribution. Sales sky-rocketed which led to additional production in order to meet meet demand.
