A new “Transform Your Summer” Mountain Dew commercial will debut in early June. The spot is set in an apartment kitchen where a young man tries to get the last Mountain Dew away from a toaster that “transforms” into a toaster- bot. The commercial was created by BBDO New York.
“‘Transformers’ promises to be a huge blockbuster film that we know our Mountain Dew consumers are anxious to see,” said Mike Dillon, VP of marketplace initiative development, Pepsi-Cola North America. “To match the excitement surrounding the movie, we’re offering a robust line-up of cool prizes and will give away thousands of them each day of the ‘Transform Your Summer’ promotion.”
