PepsiCo Smoothie Experience
Internal Brand Innovation Convention, Latin America (2017–2019)
The Challenge
How do you make a sea of product launches memorable, and spark engagement from internal teams?
At PepsiCo’s annual internal convention, regional marketing leads were presented with dozens of new products. Our mission: make the Fruit & Veggies portfolio stand out in a way that inspired interaction, internal buy-in, and advocacy. Brands included Tropicana, Naked Juice, Ocean Spray, and Kero Coco.
What We Did
We transformed traditional sampling into an interactive wellness experience.
To drive engagement:
- We installed smoothie bars at key activation points across the event
- Recruited and trained brand ambassadors to serve as “Smoothie Experts”
- Created mini demos on how to prep healthy smoothies using PepsiCo’s products
- Curated a tasting journey that combined flavor, function, and education
The Result
- Created high-impact recall of the Fruit & Veggies portfolio
- Drove record levels of interaction with these specific products vs other booths
- Received internal praise from marketing leaders across multiple regions
- Successfully repositioned smoothies as a lifestyle-friendly, daily ritual
Why It Matters
Internal marketing matters just as much as external campaigns, especially in global organizations. By delivering a hands-on, health-forward experience, we helped secure internal alignment around product positioning and usage occasions before these brands hit the consumer market.
