BLACKPINK members Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé are Pepsi’s new ambassadors for the Asia Pacific (APAC) region and its “Go All In For What You Love” campaign.
The campaign is about inspiring boldness and confidence in Generation Z. PepsiCo’s senior marketing manager for APAC, Salman Butt said that the group’s meteoric rise to global stardom made BLACKPINK the perfect choice for the campaign.
“BLACKPINK’s touching story of grit, tenacity, and resilience over the years to realise their dream ultimately put them on the road to stardom, and that is exactly the admirable traits that can resonate with the younger generation and inspire them to emulate their idols.
“This latest campaign will be all about encouraging the younger generation to pursue their dreams and set them on the right path towards finding their inner strength and boldness they never knew they had,” he said in a press release.
