Sprite introduces a refreshing twist to the end-of-the-day “chill at home” routine with its quirky new campaign. Teenagers today are constantly juggling their studies, extracurriculars, social expectations, and personal goals, making their days hectic and overwhelming. Even when they arrive home in the evening, they often carry the weight of these demands in the metaphorical “backpack” they bring with them. With the constant hustle and bustle of life, it’s crucial for the younger generation to find time to relax and recharge. Recognizing this need, Sprite steps in as the ultimate chill partner, offering a refreshing way to help teens unwind after a long day.
Featuring the rising star Vedang Raina, the campaign encourages young people to decompress after a demanding day and positions Sprite as the go-to drink for navigating those unavoidable, and often annoying, moments that are part of daily life. The campaign unfolds through a series of films that resonate with teen life, touching on their college experiences, social circles, friendships, and societal pressures. With elements like people popping out of bags, talking refrigerators, and humorous interactions, the campaign’s clever humor shines through. Additionally, AI is utilized to create 200 unique messages, each crafted to connect with teens at the right moment and in the right context.
Vedang Raina expressed his excitement about being part of the campaign, saying, “I’m thrilled to be part of the Sprite universe. Working with such an iconic brand that embodies the cool and vibrant energy of today’s youth is an incredible opportunity. I completely relate to the insight, and chilling at the end of the day is essential for our generation, including me. Sprite’s cool and witty approach always brings a moment of calm amidst the chaos.”
Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy, Director at Corcoise Films, added, “This gives a great visual device for the film. It’s unique and entertaining.”
Ritu Sharda, Chief Creative Officer at Ogilvy India (North), stated, “Sprite has always understood the pulse of the youth. This film captures the everyday annoyances that college students face, symbolized by the weight of a backpack. It represents the stress and burdens they carry throughout the day. Sprite steps in as the perfect way to unwind, turning those end-of-day moments into something truly refreshing and rewarding.”
