Overview

Execution

In Argentina it is very common for people to call Pepsi “Pecsi”. So we changed the name of the brand and gave consumers the choice between Pepsi or Pecsi: If you drink Pepsi, you save. If you drink Pecsi, you save too.

We launched this “pronunciatorial democracy” in TV and Outdoor. And we also created the Pecsipedia, the first online dictionary that allowed people to upload words that are spelled differently than they are pronounced.
