Pepsi has captured attention and imaginations across southeast Michigan with its new Full of Detroit Soul campaign, a celebration of the city s rich music and entertainment heritage, and the relationship the company and this region have shared for nearly a century.
Not just a marketing move but also a social platform, the campaign includes support for community initiatives and charity causes, and elevates local artists. For the first phase, the company partnered with area visual artists on murals promoting local pride. R&B singer Kem has also joined the effort and will give an exclusive virtual performance, including a meet-and-greet for Detroit residents only, on Jan. 7.
