Creative Execution

The idea was to invite women to “broadcast their inner beauty!” via setting up a Miss Diet Pepsi competition that empowered & rewarded them first & foremost on their individuality via empowerment workshops, held with life coaches, which nominated them to the next level, then on their appearance via a fan voting process. We had to find a media platform that is cost effective & has the ability to engage with our target & communicate the mechanics of the competition. Since online is recognized as the most used mode of expression among Jordanian females lead by facebook, a facebook page was developed to resolve the barrier & apply the 3 stages of the competitions: 1. Recruit women via a call to action on radio to broadcast their inner beauty 2. Identify the beauty within through empowerment workshops 3. Select Miss Diet Pepsi via voting online

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Diet Pepsi has been suffering from a decrease in image KPI’s and needed to turn them around. Our challenge was to build on Diet Pepsi’s empowerment platform & engage with real life woman in order to positively enhance their perception. Insights: • In Jordan, under Queen Rania’s lead, the notion of empowering women has been initiated in the market & already workshops have been established with the UN to take it forward. • Fashion & beauty remain hot passion points among the Jordanian females where beauty & fashion magazines are still on the rise & the fashion/beauty dialogue on the net is still fertile. Building on this, our communication idea was to use fashion & beauty as entry points to incorporate empowerment. A Miss Diet Pepsi competition was developed to empower women & reward them on their individuality then on their appearance.
