7UP Be Uptimistic

7UP underwent a brand refresh in 2024. To launch this, our team was tasked with creating a campaign that truly reflected their updated positioning.

Our objective was to symbolize the bright taste of 7UP as a moment of UPtimism during these pessimistic times we live in. We achieved this through a campaign direction that emphasized positivity, playfulness, and cheeky moments where people genuinely exude happiness.

In collaboration with illustrator Sam Taylor, we developed a graphic toolkit inspired by 7UP’s illustrative heritage. These were designed for use throughout the campaign to express the "Be Uptimistic" idea.

The campaign was rolled out via targeted out-of-home advertising across Los Angeles, social media, digital touchpoints, and branded swag.
