MINI STRATEGY: The communication strategy to launch the Pepsi Mini Can in India was to move from traditional advertising to digital content. The only differentiator was in the format of the mini serve (150ml) and therefore the format of communication needed to be different to drive consumers to the content and therefore drive them to try the new Pepsi Mini Can.
