Success Story

An interactive brand experience for Pepsi Max at Zwarte Cross

A striking brand activation that puts visitors at the heart of the experience.

Zwarte Cross is all about the experience. For Pepsi Max, the challenge was to stand out as a sponsor without getting lost among the countless sights, sounds and experiences across the festival.

AVEX therefore developed an interactive 3D video mapping experience on the Feestfabriek, combining storytelling, technology and live interaction. The result was a striking brand activation that visitors didn’t just watch, but became part of themselves.

The challenge

Standing out among thousands of visitors and countless impressions

As sponsor of the Dansvloer, Pepsi Max wanted to create more than brand visibility alone.

The challenge was to develop a brand activation that surprised visitors, kept them engaged and encouraged them to actively participate. At the same time, the activation needed to fit the distinctive atmosphere and identity of Zwarte Cross while generating maximum impact both at the festival and online.

The solution

Interactive video mapping that puts visitors centre stage

AVEX developed a creative concept that completely transformed the rear façade of the Feestfabriek using large-scale 3D video mapping.

The animation created an industrial world centred around Pepsi Max. Using projection mapping, the building appeared to come to life and became an integral part of the story.

Live interaction was a key part of the activation. Festival visitors could stand in front of a dedicated camera wall and then appear larger than life within the projection. This literally made them part of the show, creating a unique brand experience that was widely shared on social media.

By combining technology, creativity and storytelling, AVEX created an activation that went far beyond traditional sponsorship.

The result

A brand experience that makes an impact on and beyond the festival

The interactive video mapping continuously attracted visitors’ attention and created a unique experience where entertainment and brand engagement came together.

By making visitors part of the projection itself, the activation encouraged strong engagement with the brand. Its impact extended beyond the festival site, with visitors widely sharing their experience on social media.

The result was a brand activation where creativity, technology and interaction reinforced one another.

“Together with the Zwarte Cross organisers, we developed a great activation around the Pepsi Max brand. AVEX developed the entire experience and delivered it perfectly.” Patrick Engbers Out-of-Home Account Manager, Vrumona
