About Pepsi Smart Can Beverage
Pepsi Smart Can is an interactive beverage can that also works as a digital platform. The can links people to content through a digital portal, offering an always-on experience instead of a short promotion. Pepsi Smart Can was created to mark the launch of the global Pepsi brand redesign. The platform shares content based on personal interests such as music, sports, food and fashion. Local creators can help shape Pepsi related content for their own communities. The intent is to support interactive storytelling that lasts beyond a single campaign.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- In a world where digital noise can be overwhelming, the Pepsi Smart Can emerges as a refreshing innovation. As the first of its kind, the Pepsi Smart Can invites a new generation—those thirsty for more—to explore unique experiences. Initially conceived to celebrate the launch of the global Pepsi redesign, our Global Beverage team developed a unique, always-on platform that sets the stage for the future of interactive storytelling.
- Inspiration
- We saw a common issue: promotional items often shine brightly but can quickly fade after their moment in the spotlight. With the Pepsi Smart Can, we wanted to create a digital portal that embodies our brand’s dynamism. We set out to build a unique way to share content tailored to people’s passions, like music, sports, food, and fashion. Local creators will have the opportunity to collaboratively shape Pepsi-related content that speaks to their communities.
