Pepsi | Pass

Ao som de “My Generation” do The Who, a Pepsi mostra a presença de sua marca ao longo de diversos fatos marcantes da humanidade no último século.

Criado pela TBWA\CHIAT\DAY, o filme evoca o slogan mais famoso da marca, aquele que serviu de frente de batalha na maior guerra contra a Coca-Cola em meados da década de 1980: “Pepsi. The Choice of a New Generation”.

Dentro da mais recente campanha otimista da marca, “Refresh Everything”, o comercial mostra que cada geração renova o mundo, e que agora é a sua vez. Chama também para o site refresheverything.com.

É uma fórmula batida, mas ficou bem simpático. Destaque para as transições entre gerações. A produção é da MJZ.

Com a assinatura “Life’s for Sharing”, a criação é da Saatchi Saatchi. Relembre uma performance também interessante do Lastminute.com em um aeroporto.
