Food Pairing Soda Campaigns

The 'Better with Pepsi Max' Campaign Depicts Elevated Experiences

The 'Better with Pepsi Max' campaign is a new initiative from the brand in the UK to help showcase how the sugar-free soda is the perfect pairing with an array of meals. The campaign follows on the brand's 'Thirsty For More' platform and features some of the most popular meals in the nation aired with Pepsi Max. The campaign also includes the brand teaming up with chef and TV presenter Big Zuu, Amazon Ads, KFC and the Twisted recipe website to further enhance how the soda elevates an array of fare.

UK Beverages Marketing Director Georgina Meddows-Smith spoke on the 'Better with Pepsi Max' campaign saying, "We’re so excited to launch ‘Better with Pepsi Max’ to celebrate the nation’s love for a refreshing no sugar cola during mealtimes. Last summer’s Pepsi MaxTaste Challenge confirmed 70% of the UK prefer the taste of Pepsi Max to the nation’s top-selling full sugar cola brand, making it the perfect addition to mealtimes for an even better dining experience."
