The 2025 PRINT Awards Presenting Sponsor creates—and proudly supports—great design
Millions of us interact with PepsiCo brands every day, be it an afternoon treat, city billboard, delivery truck, or live event. But less know that there is a diverse, talented design team (the team at PepsiCo likes to call them unicorns) behind the brands, guiding their visual storytelling and creating moments of joy.
Across 18 international cities, PepsiCo’s designers are united by an approach to creating products and experiences that are both empathetic and strategic. The diverse team includes experts in branding, structural packaging, experiences, equipment, digital design, innovation and more—three of whom have joined the PRINT Awards this year as jury members. As one of the first major corporations to unite these design disciplines into a single team, PepsiCo Design + Innovation is founded on creativity and driven by collaboration.
The designers who work with this vibrant team have the opportunity to shape iconic brands as well as create new ones while infusing diverse perspectives and local cultures into the work that reaches millions of people. Collaboration is at the heart of all of their work, whether with internal teams or leading figures in fashion, sports, and culture, like Law Roach, Serena Williams, Caitlin Clark, and more.
In a collaboration with Spanish streetwear brand Pompeii, Pepsi released a seven-piece unisex capsule collection that brings to life the essence of a professional football club’s summer stage.
