by Burger King X Pepsi
In Colombia, Burger King faced declining sales amidst challenging years, impacting Pepsi’s sales in their restaurants. Promotions with low redemption rates prompted a strategy shift. Leveraging AR effect on Instagram, Pepsi bottle barcodes were transformed into virtual grills. This innovative approach aimed to drive traffic to Burger King by offering coupons through a digital experience. Targeting digitally-savvy Millennials and Centennials, the campaign addressed economic restrictions post-pandemic while enhancing Pepsi’s appeal. Social media and influencer engagement amplified awareness and participation, leading to unprecedented redemption rates and a significant boost in Pepsi sales within a short period. The AR filter became a standout digital tool, driving engagement and culinary creativity among consumers, ultimately reshaping promotional success for both brands in Colombia.
