Battle of the brands: Pepsi vs Coke Advertisements

Respectively introduced in the year 1886 and 1903, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi were rivals each other trying to dominate the carbonated soft drink market. Both brands were undergoing global advertisement war through print ads and video ads, trying to stay on top of each other.

This weekend, we take a look into some interesting advertisements by these 2 companies. Let’s put the ethical issue aside and enjoy the creativity.

Here’s more creative advertisement post we’ve previously published.

    This direct battle of the brands on all forms of media … I SIMPLY LOVE IT ! … its like UPS and FED Ex and so many other competitors. Its fun and opens a million opportunities for creativity. I really admire this allowance of direct competition - its a pity its not allowed here in Europe.
