The marriage of icons: Pepsi and Rum brands


This clever move by Pepsi was made to establish itself in the world of spirits. The aim of Pepsi was to make people believe that it was the perfect companion to rum.


The branding crossover


The famous red, white, and blue globe that represents Pepsi was inspired by a number of well-known rum brands. This was proof of visual treatment by both rum brands and Pepsi. However, there was a huge obstacle for rum to coexist with the logo of Pepsi.


Impact on consumer perception


Customers became curious and intrigued when Pepsi's emblem was incorporated into rum brands.


By pairing their preferred rums with the traditional cola, consumers might improve their drinking experience, as suggested by the visual metaphor created by the shared imagery, which also suggested that rum brands were enhancing their profiles with the help of Pepsi.


The goal of this understated but effective linkage was to sway customer decisions and broaden Pepsi's appeal beyond conventional cola pairings.


Impact on sales


The result of Pepsi's sales was a perfect result of this marketing initiative. Pepsi wanted to position itself for the younger generation by collaborating with the rum brands. This was an initiative to increase the market shares of Pepsi. This success of Pepsi represented that customer preference can be shifted.
