At the end PepsiCo had to sell drinks. Pepsi is the world 23rd most valuable brand and if this fails it will get back to its old promotion ways. Today it is hard to say how much one Facebook fans or Twitter followers counts. People in the company want to see return on investment. They want this campaign to become the model of the future. Pepsi Refresh Project was not a sales-driving program but viewed as an investment to build brand awareness and cultivate a long-term relationship with consumers. It was designed to drive brand health. Project had allowed the company to understand and learn the priorities of many of its customers across the
We can see that they drink is really refreshing. This advertisement really shows how Pepsi-Cola is refreshing and satisfactory. A Pepsi on a hot, sunny afternoon is simply amazing, whether one is spending the day with their family, friends, and couple, at a party or even while working. Drinking a Pepsi can make your life simply better; it makes you forget about your problems. Even if you are not on the beach, you can pull out a chain in your back door porch, pull out your bucket of Pepsi with a bunch of ice. Get a little table, set it on the side of your chair, turn your Pandora on and put your life in pause and enjoy the hot sunny afternoon as if you were out on the beach with your friend. It can’t get better than that can
Coca-Cola’s confidence in its domination over the soft drink industry eroded, and its advertising slogans began to recognize industry competition: “No Wonder Coke Tastes the Best”. While Coke’s slogans have always centered on the product, Pepsi’s advertisement emphasized the users of the product. Rather than targeting every market, Pepsi focused on the demographic environment. Pepsi foresaw the mass appeal of the youth generation for soft drinks and in 1961 divulged the successful slogan “Now, It’s Pepsi, for Those Who Think Young”. The campaign was such a success that Pepsi’s sales growth outperformed that of Coca-Cola.
For more than a century, Coca Cola and PepsiCo have been the major competitors within the soft drink market. By employing various advertising tactics, strategies such as blind taste tests, and reward initiatives for the consumer, they have grown to become oligopolistic rivals. In the soft-drink business, “The Coca-Cola Company” and “PepsiCo, Incorporated” hold most of the market shares in virtually every region of the world. They have brands that the consumers want, whether it be soft-drink brands or in PepsioCo’s case, snacks. With only one soft-drink market, the two competitors have no choice but to increase sales by stealing the other competitor’s clients. This led to the term, the “cola wars” which was first used

Pepsi is a world famous carbonated soft drink made by American company PepsiCo. Its distinctive blue packaging makes a huge contrast with its long-time rival’s signature red packing, Coca-Cola. First introduced as 'Brad's Drink' in North Carolina, USA at 1893 before renaming to Pepsi at 1898, Pepsi has always trying to be the dominant brand in soft-drink market while completing with Coca-Cola, known as the Cola War, where the two brands used a series of television advertisements and marketing campaigns trying to get more influence in the soft-drink market among the consumers.

In this particular ad Pepsi recreated a scene of a protest, during a time in which the country was divided by the Black Lives Matter campaign. In Pepsi’s protest, people were smiling and laughing and the line of protest was very calm. When Kendall Jenner comes out of the crowd and hands the police officer a Pepsi, everything is immediately solved and everyone starts cheering. Viewers were impacted by this as they believed that Pepsi was trying to say that one can of soda could erase the tension and anger between protesters and police. In reality, the company told viewers, “Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding” (Smith). They want to inspire others to join together to create peace, just as Jenner did when she left her photoshoot to join the protest. Instead, the company sent a message that if a twenty-one-year-old model led the Black Lives Matter campaign with a can of Pepsi, everyone would get along. Activist DeRay McKesson told NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez, "This ad trivializes the urgency of the issues and it diminishes the seriousness and the gravity of why we got into the street in the first place” (Smith). Viewers saw this ad as insensitive as it suggested that the Black Lives Matter protests were unimportant.
