Presentation Board
FROM TIKTOK TO
NATIONAL AD CAMPAIGN.
BACKGROUND
How does a modern brand scale a viral fan moment without
"killing the vibe"? For Dr Pepper, the answer is “that's what we
always clo.” For 10+ years, we've built our competitive
aclvantage around our fans: they get us, and we get them.
When Romeo Bingham’s innocent jingle exploded on TikTok
(138M+ views), we didn't see just a jingle; we saw an ultimate
display of brand love as a reaction built from our work to
create a socially loved brand.

Hold on... you might be on to something.

IDEA
To put this display of fandom on the biggest stage, we began
by sowing the partnership through social content that licensed
the original audio and nodded to something bigger. We had to
relinquish brand control, letting commenters pontificate what
that “bigger thing” might be while we worked in the
background to transcend the original platform.
With a premium broadcast placement during the CFP
Championship, we leveraged the jingle to captivate a mass
audience with something startlingly authentic, real, and a true
display of a brand letting fans tell our story.
