Punita Lal, Executive Director, Marketing, PepsiCo India : The introduction of Pepsi Max is a defining moment for the cola industry in India. Pepsi Max is one of Brand Pepsi’s greatest international success stories that has driven growth and rapidly built market share. With this launch, Brand Pepsi further strengthens its imagery leadership in the cola category by offering its consumers a beverage with a higher cola kick, more fizz, punch and an added advantage of ‘no sugar’. We are confident that with its unique, edgy imagery and unbeatable ‘Maximum Kick, No Sugar’ experience, Pepsi Max will soon become a ‘cool reference brand’ for young adults while heralding a new segment in the cola category leading to category expansion.

CanSo while Pepsi Max’s communications strategy has ‘intensity’ at its core catering to the needs of 25+years urban males, Brand Pepsi leans towards ‘empowerment of ‘youth’ with its ‘Youngistaan’ Campaign. With the launch its third Cola brand, PepsiCo widens its portfolio by specifically addressing the need states of the urban male adults who are lifestyle oriented, fitness conscious, looking for a strong attitude quotient in their beverage optionsn but are not willing to compromise on taste.

Pepsi Max, the latest addition to the Rs. 10,000 crore branded beverage market
in India will be launched in a phased manner in India, starting with Delhi and NCR and will be gradually
extended to other markets in the coming months.

The Pepsi Max launch will be supported by a 360 degree plan with ‘disruption’ at its core. Consumers will be greeted by a larger-than-life outdoor campaign comprising of building wraps as well as huge Pepsi Max bottles and other ‘spectaculars’ visible at high traffic zones and youth hangouts. In addition to in-store activation, experiential sampling will be given a whole new meaning, with exclusive mobile bars in high visibility areas like multiplexes and malls allowing consumers to interact with bartenders through a never seen before sampling exercise. This approach will also extend to social media domain with innovative plans to engage the core target group online.

Pepsi Max was unveiled for the first time in UK and Italy in 1993 post which it has been successfully introduced in 40 countries around the world stimulating young adults to live life to the MAX.

It is now time to soak-in this new attitude!
