Getting consumers as the brand ambassadors, making videos for them, and pushing them with the hashtag #PepsiRiseUpBaby was pure genius. That again would only give visibility to the campaign and at the same time build ownership within the audience since participation is key in the digital era.

Cultural relevance: It latched onto the pulse of current cultural trends and became relevant, popping into all kinds of demographic sets. Aligning the campaign with what was trending, Pepsi promised a message would be heard and absorbed by the audience.

5.9% Engagement Rate: An impressively high rate of engagement about the depth of the engagement and connection with the content.
