Pepsi | Pepsi 2009 Campaign | China

In a departure from its previous campaigns, Pepsi is celebrating China's 60th birthday and driving patriotism with no celebrity endorsement.

Pepsi has long been associating itself with and supporting the originality of the music industry. Following the long-standing Battle of The Bands project, the latest campaign takes on a loosely translated title of “The Resonance of China”.

The television component features a rock band saluting Greater China, whose music emanates from Pepsi cans across the nation. The song soon becomes contagious and everyone embraces the music and cheers for China.

A microsite supported by Chinese online portal QQ is hosting an online polling competition for the most creative blessing messages. Besides motivating participants with goodies, Pepsi will invite the top ten winners to appear in its next nationwide television commercial in 2010.
