‘Born in the Carolinas’ captures the journey from Pepsi’s first days in New Bern, while celebrating Pepsi’s continued presence in both NC and SC, and the stories along the way. By crafting a distinct personality, but still resembling the larger Pepsi brand, BITC is creating connection by doing what Pepsi has always done - bringing joy to the place we all call home.

This campaign focused on paid and organic social, in addition to a marketing microsite experience, resulting in 15M+ impressions and a 13.7% engagement rate.
