The buzz surrounding Mountain Dew’s strange ad campaign mostly consisted of astonished first impressions. In terms of Mountain Dew’s motive behind the Kickstart campaign, it was surprisingly more “adorable” than that.
“Some of the past Super Bowl spots that have done really well have had a puppy or a baby,” Sadira Furlow, director of brand marketing for Mountain Dew, told CNBC. “Consumers love animals in general. We were really looking for a way to draw awareness to Mountain Dew Kickstart.”
