Pepsi + Activision - Mountain Dew + Doritos + Call of Duty - Come Get It
Ambition
Mountain Dew needed to transcend their existing partnership with Modern Warfare by working their product into the core fabric of the game experience. However, Mountain Dew’s iconic irreverence has never fit with Modern Warfare’s visceral and serious world. Our challenge was to convince gamers that Dew belonged in the game, without compromising the brand’s core values.
Action
Our campaign maximized the potential of Mountain Dew's existing partnership with Modern Warfare by identifying and leveraging common insights from both fanbases. We wrote and filmed a series of world-mixing TVC and digital commercials that forever tied Mountain Dew to the Call of Duty universe and inspired consumer engagement.
Achievement
The results went beyond sales. The on-package codes we promoted were redeemed 2.5 million times proving engagement past purchase, and gamers used the Mountain Dew branded in-game content for 7 million hours. After seeing our campaign, fans agreed that Mountain Dew belonged in the game.

5,600 dog years.

400 trips to Mordor to destroy the Ring of Power.
53 Quinceañeras.
