Challenge
COVID-19 put traditional production shoots on hold. With this Frito-Lay was challenged with shifting their messaging and getting production scheduled to fulfill their media buy for summer.
Solution
Frito-Lay leveraged Popular Pays’ distributed network of creators & their software platform to produce a TV spot in less time, at a fraction of the cost, and with more footage to be able to test than traditional production previously provided.
“Even as the world gets back to normal and we go back to some of the processes of before, I would say we’re never going to go back to the old traditional ways because we’ve learned how to unlock something we didn’t have before. The authenticity, the organic nature, and the agility and speed. We definitely want that moving forward.”

From concept to commercial
“Both from a business standpoint as well as impressions and engagement, it did extremely well. Better than the year before when we had a traditional campaign that, again, we spent a lot of time planning and creating. This was completely different.”
