"This is the Pepsi" TV Advertisement, Debuting at Super Bowl LII:
To introduce the Pepsi Generations campaign, the brand will air a 30-second in-game advertisement called "This Is the Pepsi" during Super Bowl LII featuring iconic celebrities of Pepsi's past and present, including a new take on the famous 1992 Pepsi Super Bowl advertisement starring Cindy Crawford and this time, also her son Presley Gerber.
"To this day, people come up to me to talk about how much they loved my original Pepsi spot from '92," said Crawford. "The commercial was a big moment for me and has spanned generations. I am proud to play a role in this iconic pop-culture phenom and excited for fans to see our new take on the Pepsi spot during Super Bowl."
Additional details around the advertisement will be released in the coming weeks.
