Pespi Personifies Pepsi One With TV-Less ‘Oneify’ Campaign

  • 1 min read

An upcoming reintroduction campaign for Pepsi One will, intriguingly and smartly, not rely on television but rather on a website called Oneify; print ads in Blender, Details, Giant, Stuff and Sync; billboards, trading cards and promotional events. The website introduces a set of characters such as “The Loud One,” “The Poetic One,” “The Illest One,” “The Weightless One,” The Bleepy One” and more – all of whom include their own elements of “personification” in the form of wallpaper, IM icon and trading card downloads. Unfortunately for the ADD, quick cut target audience, the trading cards are big, fat PDF downloads rather than simple, faster image files.

Quoted in the New York Time, Pepsi agency TBWA Worldwide Chairman and CEO Lee Clow explains the campaign. “Kids are so smart, they’ll call you out on overt marketing in a minute. So telling them a ‘one-calorie, great taste’ story is so ho-hum to them. If you engage them in unorthodox ways, with a bit of grace, charm, whimsy, fun and discovery you can actually ask them to buy something.”

I’m in my 50s and I recently apologized to my adult child for something I did when they were twelve. They said they didn’t remember it. The thing that broke me wasn’t their forgiveness — it was learning I’d carried guilt for decades over a wound that only existed in my body.

Research suggests people over 60 who keep an immaculate home but feel chaotic inside aren’t contradicting themselves, they’re compensating — the external order is a containment strategy for internal disorder, and the cleaner the surfaces the more likely it is that something underneath is being managed through control because it can’t be managed through expression

I have a perfectly good smartphone with a notes app I know how to use, but every Sunday I still write my weekly tasks on a piece of paper that sits on my kitchen counter — because at 65, I’ve learned that seeing something in my own handwriting makes me accountable to myself in a way a screen notification never could
