Pepsi x Art of Football

Watch the campaign video

The Brief

Pepsi knew the world would be talking about the “big football event” taking place in the Middle East throughout December 2022. As an iconic brand with a heritage in football entertainment, it was critical that Pepsi didn’t miss out on the action.


The Strategy

2022 was the 20 year anniversary of Pepsi’s iconic football jerseys, worn by the likes of David Beckham and Ronaldinho. With retro football shirts making a come back, we thought it was time to revive Pepsi’s legendary strip.


The Execution

We dropped an exclusive fashion collab with culture brand Art of Football (AOF), using Vinicius Jr. to front it. We created jerseys, bucket hats and shoulder bags that all took inspo from the original kit.
