Pepsi / Egypt · Pepsi FRWD · TV & social · December 2015

Art direction for Pepsi FRWD’s 250ml bottle launch in Egypt in December 2015, created at OMD for TV and social media. The idea makes the smaller format part of everyday life: a Pepsi you can take wherever the day leads. My role was Senior Art Director / Associate Creative Director.

Pepsi FRWD / Egypt / December 2015 / 250mlTV commercial · Also used on social media

01 / Challenge

Introduce Pepsi’s new 250ml bottle to the Egyptian market and make its size meaningful. The launch communication needed to show why a smaller bottle fits into people’s lives, rather than simply announce a new pack.

02 / Insight & idea

A smaller bottle goes with you. The film takes Pepsi FRWD across different moments, people and places, showing everyday use without tying the product to one setting. Portability becomes the narrative: the bottle travels with the rhythm of the day.

03 / My role

I worked on the campaign at OMD as Senior Art Director / Associate Creative Director, alongside Creative Director Abeer Elgarhi. The production credits below distinguish the agency creative roles from the director, cinematographer, production art director and post-production team.

The product benefit becomes the story

A bottle that moves
with the day.

Selected frames from the finished commercial. Different settings make the same point: the smaller bottle can come along.

On the move
A personal soundtrack
A pack made portable
Out in the city
Time with friends
Into the night
