Navigating Trends

How do you create a common view of critical trends for a global giant?

Challenge

For their 2026 refresh, PepsiCo wanted to renew excitement, enhance category relevance and increase engagement for their Change Compass tool: a global framework to understand, track and anticipate future change via trends and shifting human drivers.

Unlock

People want to know what's most crucial, how it will impact their category, and be inspired by what they could do in response. And they want it quickly. Our refresh simplified narratives to critical implications and proritised eye-catching design. We developed summarised and keynote versions of the tool to allow quick immersion into future trends.

Impact

Our renewed narrative and design of Change Compass is disseminated globally to every market and capability across R&D, Brand, DX and Strategy, ensuring PepsiCo's innovation, activation, commercial, and brand efforts are forward-looking and relevant in an evolving landscape.
