PepsiCo’s Starry Unleashes Music and Sports in New Campaign

PepsiCo’s Starry spotlights music and sports in new campaign

The campaign combines elements of music and culture to showcase the brand’s lemon and lime flavours in a playful positioning.

PepsiCo’s Starry partnered with basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo on a new ad that ran during the NBA All-Star 2024 Game on Feb. 17. The ad was the second to appear as part of Starry’s new campaign “It’s Time to See Other Sodas” that premiered during Super Bowl LVIII with an ad featuring Ice Spice.

The campaign combines elements of music and culture to showcase the brand’s lemon and lime flavours and playful positioning. Through its innovative campaign, Starry is targeting to reach Gen Z soda drinkers and continues to try to shore up market share and compete in the lemon-lime category, which includes Coca-Cola’s Sprite. 

Additionally, the brand has various activations around the NBA All-Star Game, including a social media giveaway to Antetokounmpo’s home country of Greece. Starry also sponsored a three-point contest. Lem and Lime also hosted their own version of the contest on an LED court.
