Description:
In the U.S., the rum and cola cocktail is typically made with Coke. But, despite this, it’s proven that Pepsi is the preferred choice when enjoying your favorite rum.

Although Pepsi can proudly be deemed the best tasting, the brand faces challenges via Coke’s market domination, largely fueled by the brand’s exclusivity rights that many businesses across the country have.

So, the brand needed to create a visual campaign that creatively explained that consumers were getting the bar call order wrong all along.

As a follow-up to the original Better With Pepsi print campaign where Pepsi challenged burger chains’ exclusivity deals with Coke, the Better With Pepsi Rum effort takes the magnitude of the platform to the next level, leaning into the universal tension of challenging the Rum and Coke, a drink known and enjoyed worldwide.

The images earned 432MM impressions via earned media and OOH, and supported the brands effort in getting 589 bars in the U.S. switched to Pepsi from Coke.
