The Making of PepsiCo Super Bowl Ads

To get you in the Super Bowl spirit PepsiCo is rolling out advertisements to gear up for the game. Greg Lyons, CMO of Pepsi Beverage, and Jen Saenz, CMO of Frito-Lay explain the messages behind the company's iconic ads this season. For the first time in company history, PepsiCo is combining an ad for two brands. Doritos Blaze is linking up with Mountain Dew Ice. "They are a really natural fit together as brands," said Saenz. "There's no perfect formula," says Lyons. "This year I think consumers really want to smile." NBC is charging $5 million for a thirty second ad. More than 40 percent U.S. households are expected to tune into this year's Super Bowl on television.
