  • How Gen Z is Transforming Snacks into Expressions of Culture, Identity, and Shared Values

    How Gen Z is Transforming Snacks into Expressions of Culture, Identity, and Shared Values

    How Gen Z is Turning Snacks into Cultural Symbols of Identity, Purpose, and Belonging. In today’s hyper-digital world, Gen Z is redefining the rules of consumer engagement—and brands like PepsiCo are paying close attention. For this socially connected and value-driven generation, a snack is no longer just a snack. It’s a statement, a digital accessory, and a reflection of their lifestyle and beliefs. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram aren’t just social media—they’re shopping destinations and stages for self-expression. Here, flavor alone isn’t enough. A product must look good in a selfie, align with personal values, and generate likes before it earns a purchase. Recognizing this shift, PepsiCo is no longer simply selling food; it’s curating experiences that resonate with Gen Z’s culture, identity, and digital habits.

    PepsiCo’s approach is exemplified by its launch of Lay’s Double Crunch, an intensely flavored, deep-ridged snack crafted to enhance the moments Gen Z values most—late-night study marathons, gaming sessions, and creative hangouts. The product’s bold packaging is designed for digital impact, built to stand out not only on store shelves but on TikTok feeds and Instagram Stories. The strategy came to life during the launch of Lay’s UEFA Jumbo Pack featuring football legend Lionel Messi. A livestream on TikTok Shop showcasing the pack accounted for a staggering 70% of total Gross Merchandise Value in a single session, proving the power of timely, exclusive, and visually striking content tailored for social platforms.

    But the evolution goes deeper than visual appeal. PepsiCo is turning digital engagement into real conversion, particularly in Malaysia where the company has leaned heavily into livestream commerce. With an average of 25 hours of live selling a month and over 30,000 shoppers reached through interactive sessions and influencer-led product drops, PepsiCo is transforming platforms like TikTok from mere brand awareness tools into engines of direct commerce. This strategic integration of content, commerce, and community recently earned the brand the Foodpanda Collaborative Excellence Award—recognition of its agile and shopper-centric model.

    More than just sales and screen time, PepsiCo is aligning its purpose with the values that matter to Gen Z. The company’s efforts to support local communities and promote wellness are integral to its brand identity. In 2024, PepsiCo collaborated with The Assembly Soup Kitchen (TASK) to distribute 1,000 food packs to underserved communities in Kuala Lumpur’s Chow Kit area. The initiative benefitted refugee students, homeless individuals, and B40 families, reflecting the company’s broader commitment to tackling food insecurity. Globally, PepsiCo has contributed over USD 14 million to the World Food Programme, reinforcing its role in addressing critical social issues.

    Meanwhile, health-conscious choices are shaping the way Gen Z consumes. PepsiCo is reformulating products like the Quaker 3-in-1 range to reduce sugar and sodium, striking a balance between nutrition and taste. Its Jom Quaker Fit programme goes a step further by rewarding consumers with wellness perks—spa passes, gym vouchers, and healthy dining offers—making each purchase a gateway to a healthier lifestyle. This kind of thoughtful innovation reflects how PepsiCo is embedding wellness into the everyday lives of its consumers.

    Equally important is building a sense of belonging. Football, a cultural cornerstone in Malaysia, serves as a unifying passion. PepsiCo tapped into this through its UEFA Champions League campaign, not just with giveaways, but through real-life activations in 60 locations that brought together over 80,000 fans. Through community games and interactive experiences, everyday places became hubs of celebration and connection. These campaigns didn’t just entertain—they fostered shared moments that felt personal and communal. Looking ahead, PepsiCo aims to replicate and scale this success with its upcoming FIFA 2026 partnership, reinforcing Lay’s place at the heart of football-loving communities.

    As Gen Z continues to reshape the consumer landscape with every scroll and click, PepsiCo’s strategy in Malaysia offers a roadmap for brands seeking relevance. By designing with purpose, showing up in the digital spaces Gen Z inhabits, and building campaigns rooted in authenticity and connection, PepsiCo isn’t just keeping up with trends—it’s becoming part of a generation’s everyday culture. As Aditya Ahuja, Cluster GM for PepsiCo Foods Malaysia and the Philippines, puts it: “Today’s generation doesn’t want to be spoken to—they want to be invited in.” And that’s exactly what PepsiCo is doing—one snack, one story, and one shared experience at a time.

  • Koleksi raya Rockqueen berkonsepkan ‘Kasih – Monolog dari Hati’ buat saudara di Palestin

    Dengan semangat bulan Ramadhan yang bakal tiba, Rockqueen melancarkan Koleksi Raya ‘Kasih Monolog dari Hati’ tahun 2024, di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Koleksi ini akan menjadi bentuk penghormatan kepada keindahan kemanusiaan dan semangat kebebasan. Diinspirasi oleh lirik lagu “Kasih” yang dinyanyikan oleh legenda rock Malaysia, Ella, koleksi ini bukan sekadar pakaian, melainkan sebuah perjalanan menuju erti kasih sayang, dengan sentuhan keanggunan, kesederhanaan, dan makna mendalam yang tersirat di setiap pakaian.

    Konsep Koleksi ‘Kasih’

    Koleksi ‘Kasih’ terinspirasi dari keindahan hubungan manusia yang dibina atas asas kasih sayang dan empati. Dengan mengambil intipati dari nilai-nilai murni dalam budaya kita, Rockqueen membawa sebuah interpretasi moden yang tidak hanya menonjolkan keunikan rekaan tetapi juga memperkukuhkan ikatan kasih antara kita.

    Koleksi ini merangkumi Abaya Kimono ‘Seri’, Abaya Hoodie ‘Khaela’, dan Baju Melayu ‘Arjuna’, setiap satu dibuat dengan sentuhan personal dari Ella sendiri yang mencerminkan keistimewaan dan gayanya dalam seharian dan menyambut lebaran. Lebih dari sekadar fesyen, ‘Kasih’ menjadi seruan kepada inti kemanusiaan kita yang bersama. Dalam saat-saat kegembiraan kita, janganlah kita lupa kepada saudara kita di Palestin yang menghadapi tantangan yang menguji keadaan mereka.

    Mesej di Sebalik Kempen

    Mengusung semangat ‘Kasih’ sebagai pengingat yang mendalam di tengah-tengah momen kebahagiaan kita, Rockqueen mengingatkan kita untuk selalu mengenang saudara kita di Palestin yang merindukan kebebasan untuk hidup dalam damai.

    Kempen kali ini istimewanya menampilkan Ella sendiri bersama-sama dengan suami tercinta Captain Azhar dan Kaka Azraf sebagai pendukung utama kempen ini. Menggunakan kabut dan kabus dalam sesi fotografi ‘Kasih’ sebagai metafora yang mendalam, menciptakan suasana awangan yang melambangkan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh saudara-saudara kita di Palestin. Kabut mewakili tirai ketidakpastian, sementara kabus merujuk kepada jalan yang kabur yang mereka lalui.

    Kuda – dengan kehadirannya yang kuat dan megah, menjadi pusat perhatian sebagai lambang kebebasan. Lebih dari peranan simboliknya, ia memberi nuansa pejuang, melambangkan kekuatan dan ketabahan. Pilihan ini selaras dengan tema utama kempen, melampaui dunia fesyen untuk membangkitkan rasa solidariti dan keberanian. Kempen ini bertambah mendalam intipatinya apabila diiring dengan alunan susunan baru bagi lagu Kasih nyanyian Ella sendiri.

    Nilai Kemanusiaan dari Ella

    Ella menekankan pentingnya untuk mengenang saudara-saudara kita di Palestin yang menghadapi cabaran yang sukar untuk mencapai kebebasan dan kedamaian yang mereka layak miliki.

    “Melalui ‘Kasih’, kita diingatkan untuk menghulurkan bantuan dan solidariti kepada saudara-saudara kita di Palestin yang merindukan kebebasan untuk hidup dalam damai,” ujarnya dengan penuh empati. “Kempen ini bukan hanya tentang fesyen atau perayaan semata-mata, tetapi tentang menghidupkan semangat kemanusiaan dan kesatuan di kalangan kita semua. Ella berharap koleksi ini akan menjadi pengingat kepada kita semua tentang tanggungjawab kita sebagai manusia untuk menyokong dan menghormati hak asasi manusia bagi semua individu, tanpa mengira bangsa atau agama.”

    Ella menyeru kepada semua peminat dan pengikutnya untuk menyokong kempen ‘Kasih’ ini dengan mengambil bahagian dalam menyampaikan mesej solidariti dan keadilan kepada dunia. “Mari bersama-sama kita tunjukkan bahawa kasih sayang itu tidak mengenal sempadan, dan kita bersama-sama memperjuangkan kebebasan dan keadilan untuk semua.”

    Ella menegaskan bahawa koleksi ‘Kasih’ Rockqueen bukan sekadar sebuah kempen pemasaran, tetapi juga satu platform untuk menyebarkan kesedaran dan keamanan tentang isu-isu kemanusiaan yang penting di sekitar kita. Dengan keprihatinan yang mendalam dan semangat kesatuan yang kuat, Ella dan Rockqueen mengajak semua untuk bersama-sama menyokong misi untuk mencipta dunia yang lebih adil dan berkasih sayang bagi semua.

    Koleksi ‘Kasih’ 2024

    Koleksi ini mempersembahkan 10 jenis pakaian termasuk Seri (Abaya kimono), Khaela (Abaya Hoodie), Arjuna (Baju Melayu), dan lain-lain, semuanya dalam nuansa hitam dan putih, koleksi ini diberi sentuhan yang penuh makna.

    Rockqueen ‘Kasih’ Eid Collection 2024 tidak hanya menampilkan keanggunan koleksi Raya tetapi juga memperkuatkan mesej mendalam kempen kali ini.
