MORE FROM SNOOP: Pepsi Max

Pepsi Max has used Snoop Dogg in their most recent campaign.
But it's not just an appearance... in true Pepsi style, Snoop performs the 'jingle' within the spot.

My favourite thing about Pepsi endorsement ads featuring musicians are that they have nearly always used the artist's own music, rather than just the artist's image. The music will then have the lyrics tailored for the campaign (Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" was turned into "You're the Pepsi generation, guzzle down and taste the thrill of the day, and feel the Pepsi way"). It's cheesy, but it works.

And a few other Pepsi ads featuring musicians below...

Britney


Bob Dylan & Will.i.am


Michael Jackson


David Bowie & Tina Turner


Rod Steward & Tine Turner


Mary J Blige


Justin Timberlake (this one was for a Pepsi competition, rather than just being a brand spot... so it doesn't quite match the same Pepsi formula. It does use JT's music, but doesn't really incorporate it lyrically in the same way)
