Pepsi unveils quirky film to celebrate partnership with Airtel
Mumbai: In line with PepsiCo India’s partnership with Bharti Airtel, Pepsi has unveiled a new film to mark the announcement. The partnership will be amplified via a robust 360-degree campaign spanning TV, digital, outdoor, and social media.
The quirky TVC showcases Pepsi’s and Airtel’s latest data offerings on its PET bottles where consumers can avail Airtel recharge benefits worth Rs 10 to 20.
With the launch of this new TVC, Pepsi aims to bring a streak of celebration with its distinct value-for-money offering through its collaboration with Airtel.
Speaking on the comical take of the campaign, PepsiCo India’s Pepsi Cola category lead Saumya Rathor said, “Consumers today, more than ever, are seeking value for money. Ahead of the festive season, the partnership with Airtel is an endeavour to bring people together, help them stay connected and bring more smiles with every sip.”
The light-humoured TVC opens at a basketball practice, where a girl cheekily says hello to a boy. The boy is convinced that the girl loves him because she has asked him to recharge her talk time. However, his friend, who is sitting next to him, asks sarcastically, “If she truly loves you, who is she talking to and spending the talk time on?” The question gives the boy a reality check. However, his friend hands him a chilled bottle of Pepsi to calm him down. Seeing the Airtel recharge discount offer on the Pepsi bottle leaves the boy puzzled, to which his friend smartly responds that the next time you recharge her phone, it will hurt you less as you can use the redeemable discount coupons that come with every Pepsi bottle. Both look at each other, smile, and take another sip of the Pepsi with ‘swag.’
