Graphico Takes FAB Award for Pepsi QR Campaign

GraphicoDMG, a Digital Marketing Group company, was honoured at the FAB Awards, the Food and Beverage industrys annual creative awards, last Friday. Graphico took the plate award in the Mobile category, for its Pepsi Kicks campaign. The Pepsi campaign beat off competition from rival non-alcoholic drink brands Fanta and Coca Cola to pick up the top award.
The Kicks campaign used QR codes as the gateway to a dedicated mobile website by placing the 2D graphic across all 400 million packs of Pepsi variants between December 2008 and April 2009. Pepsi aimed to put the Pep back into Pepsi and offered consumers a humorous kick in the right direction as the site carried motivational videos from pep-talker Rusty, stills and out-takes from the shoot of Kelly Brooks Pepsi video, and a selection of Pepsis best bits from the web together with free games and downloads all aimed at inspiring consumers and giving something back in a technologically innovative way.
The campaign was supported with PR imagery of Kelly Brook and QR codes both online and in the national press, while the video in which she starred received 12 million views across social network sites such as YouTube.

Ummm, tried repeatedly to use

Ummm, tried repeatedly to use this campaign - the can reflected too badly in just about every light, and there was no supporting shortcode!
I wonder how many of the judges actually tried the campaign in the real world.
I wanted to love this campaign, as it could have brought QR into the mainstream. Unfortunately it was just too clunky.

Interestingly it didn't beat

Interestingly it didn't beat off Fanta and Coke as Fanta jointly picked up a FAB award
