NEW YORK—Nothing goes better with a hot dog than a Pepsi. That’s the simple message effectively communicated in the :60 "Summer Job," a wonderfully warm and sweet new spot created by BBDO New York and directed by Samuel Bayer of bicoastal RSA USA. "Summer Job" is part of a brand new campaign—Pepsi-Cola’s first major campaign shift since 1999—promoting Pepsi as a perfect match for food and fun, and introducing a new tagline: "It’s the Cola."
