Pepsi Super Bowl 2009 Ad "Forever Young" Anthem Spot with Bob Dylan and Will i. am. Includes Video.

Great news! Pepsi has their mojo back. With quiet confidence they've hit one out of the park with their brand new 2009 Super Bowl spot. It's a then/now format built around a "Forever Young" mashup sung by Dylan and Will i. am. This is a great use of celebrity in the Pepsi tradition...upbeat and positive. Contrasting scenes and split screens cascade across the years from Vietnam to Iraq from lighters to mobile phones. Unlike so many other :60s in the game this one never dulls, as you're carried through a land of fantasy, optimism and the last 50 years of American culture. Pepsi accomplishes a hell of a lot here. They reclaim the Pepsi tradition, restore their celebrity culture, and preemptively reach out to capture the category. Kudos to Pepsi & TBWA Chiat Day. Cool.
