Social Media Case Study - Pepsi Paint Your Face Facebook App

Campaign:

‘Paint Your Face’ Facebook App

Client:

Pepsi

Objective:  

Pepsi wanted to create a digital awareness campaign around the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Without lead sponsorship of the event, Pepsi needed a guerrilla marketing initiative that would be embraced by online users and shared around the world through their social networks.

Solution:

Brandmovers designed and developed a custom Facebook application that allowed users to paint their face with their country’s flag. Users were able to upload their picture, paint it and then post it as their profile pic in a few easy steps. The app was developed for 3 separate brands (Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max) and was pulled into several local country Pepsi pages for maximum reach.
