  • Pepsi™

Last year, Pepsi introduced its #BetterwithPepsi campaign, promoting how America’s favorite foods (like burgers) indeed go better with a refreshing, crisp Pepsi cola.  Just in time for National Pizza Party Day on May 20, Pepsi reminded everyone that pizza is #BetterWithPepsi.In a recent study, 90%1 of people agreed that Pepsi is a perfect beverage complement to pizza, so it’s no surprise that 72%2 of national pizza locations currently serve Pepsi. To celebrate this truth, Pepsi took pizza enjoyment to the next level on National Pizza Party Day – last Friday, May 20. With help from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) Consulting, a business unit of The Culinary Institute of America, Pepsi reimagined America’s favorite pizza topping, unveiling the world’s first Pepsi™-Roni Pizza.Since Pepsi is wildly known to also enhance the taste of pizza, the brand enlisted CIA chefs to reimagine and engineer a new type of pepperoni infused with the rich caramel notes and brown spices with the citrusy pop of Pepsi cola. The unique topping recipe designed by Pepsi and CIA Consulting includes a Pepsi® Zero Sugar reduction instead of the water typically used in pepperoni preparation and layers the sweet and citrus zests Pepsi is known for with the standard spice blends found in pepperoni. Last Friday, May 20  pizza fanatics located in New York City were able to try the first Pepsi™-Roni Pizza (for free!) in Lower Manhattan – the birthplace of pepperoni – only at Made in New York Pizza West Village (561 Hudson St, New York, NY 10014).The National Pizza Party Day promotion and limited-edition Pepsi™-Roni Pizza is the latest iteration of the brand’s Better With Pepsi creative campaign launched in 2021 which included 12 national commercials and proved the most popular cheeseburgers from the top three burger chains in the country went #BetterwithPepsi. As part of this #BetterwithPepsi program, Pepsi will debut another new suite of national television spots this summer. Better With Pepsi is more than a tagline for the brand, it’s an unapologetic reinforcement of how consumers enjoy Pepsi every day with their favorite foods.

The initiative was supported by Compass UOL, a global digital transformation company. Now, consumers can browse lighter websites, with up to ten times faster loading, even when experiencing slower connections and from less powerful devices.The new website interface was designed to facilitate access for customers, consultants and representatives to the product catalog, and mix offers and content in a balanced way, delivering information and shopping recommendations in a more intuitive and fluid way.From now on, the four brands will be able to replicate features developed in Brazil to other countries. In addition to this, they can launch a new e-commerce site in less time.Using the AWS cloud and the Salesforce’s e-commerce engine, Compass UOL restructured the architecture and the front end that supports the e-commerce platforms of the four group brands in Latin America, creating a unique code based on React and SPA technologies. The release was based on concepts of clean code, modular architecture, and decoupled software, and using the Lean project management methodology to guarantee the agility of the execution.The new modular structure allows the inclusion of new features more quickly, which can be replicated to any country. The project was conceived in a mobile-first concept, prioritizing access via smartphones, matching Brazilian reality.The reformulation was one of the initiatives that contributed to increase the number of pages visited in 218% and reduce 40% in the rejection rate during navigation.The implementation is already completed for all Latin America.
