Re-igniting Sprite's rich history in Hip Hop culture

Challenge

We were challenged to re-ignite Sprite’s long history with Hip Hop culture (which until recently had only been celebrated in advertising) by creating a real world brand environment to meaningfully re-engage the culture with the brand.

Approach

We identified a New York institution—the bodega—as the perfect physical intersection of the Sprite brand with Hip Hop culture. 

We then set about designing a sharable retail experience that engaged consumers with hip hop at every touchpoint. 

Sprite Corner transformed from a retail experience by day (featuring a full bodega’s worth of Sprite rebranded products)  into a performance destination by night, hosting pop-up events all summer long, as well as acting as a physical embodiment of the brand’s commitment to culture.

Our main task had been to reconnect the Sprite brand with hip hop, and we succeeded dramatically: mentions of Sprite in Hip-Hop conversations increased by 5,000%.

We ignited new brand relevance amongst an important target and regained pop culture traction as part of the Sprite brand ecosystem.
