The ad, created by BBH London, travels the world to various areas of conflict – the Middle East and North Korea – and depicts scenes poised to erupt in violence only to reveal a celebration of wives as soldiers put down their weapons and embrace their loved ones.
Pepsi Max has been running a commercial poking fun at society’s obsession with smart devices and social media. It features a man at a party struggling to engage with any other party-goers who are too busy taking selfies, photos of their food and updating their social media, before he spies a woman also not distracted by her phone. After drinking a Pepsi Max for courage, he approaches her to hand her a note which reads “Friend request – ok, no thanks”.
