Pepsi Kicks Off Refresh Tour

Pepsi Cola Jamaica has embarked on a 5 week island-wide series of concerts dubbed, “Pepsi Refresh Tour”.

The tour kicked off last Friday July 8, in Half-Way-Tree and makes its way to Spanish Town and May Pen today (July 15). The event allowed consumers to gain a deeper connection with the Pepsi brand, and interact with their favorite artistes as they performed some of the hottest tracks this summer. 

The five week campaign island-wide, will feature pop music events, trade activations and culminate in a massive concert, dubbed Pepsi Refresh Live.

For the concert, slated for August 13, Pepsi has recruited dancehall heavyweights Busy Signal, Spice, Cham and Bugle, among other artistes to host a high-energy unforgettable event at Pepsi Oval 214. Fans will party non-stop to the beat of sound system Coppershot, led by exuberant Copper Cutty.

  

“Music has always been an important customer connector for our brands both locally and internationally. Summer is a big deal and Pepsi wants to help fans make the most out of the season by playing a more active role in helping them to enjoy it,” said Mitchell Watson, Marketing Manager, Pepsi Jamaica.

Fans will be able to immediately win tickets to the Pepsi Refresh Live concert by purchasing six bottles of 20oz Pepsi from select wholesales and supermarkets during the Pepsi Refresh Tour Pop Up starting July 8 and continuing through to the night of the concert.
