How do you convince cola drinkers that your product is on the cutting edge? Use some sci-fi tech, of course! For Pepsi Max, BBDO outfitted a London side street with a hologram projector and waited until nightfall. Every time someone tried to take a shortcut through the tunnel, the light would flicker off and the projection would jump to life, opening a time portal with an angry dinosaur from the past, soldiers from the future or a vehicular time machine (it, sadly, wasn’t a DeLorean). It’s a far cooler blast from the past than creating another new flavour variant (so ’90s, right?).
