Pepsi Zero Sugar highlights Steve Martin’s and Ben Stiller’s acting skills
PepsiCo is highlighting its recently revamped formula for the zero-sugar version of its namesake soda through two commercials, starring actors Steve Martin and Ben Stiller.
Martin and Stiller star in their own spots, both of which call attention to their acting skills and ask viewers try the drink for themselves. Stiller’s ad also features a cameo from his “Zoolander” character and comedian Rachel Dratch.
During Pepsi’s earnings call on Thursday, CEO Ramon Laguarta said that the zero-sugar soda will eventually be a big part of the brand in the U.S. and the rest of the world. In the fourth quarter, Pepsi Zero Sugar’s volume surged 26%, despite flat demand overall for the company’s beverages.
