Client Summary

Sprite originated in West Germany and was introduced in the U.S. market by Coca-Cola in 1961 to compete with 7 Up. The famous lemon-lime soda brand has a long history of connecting with hip-hop culture, dating back to the 1980s. 

Sprite sponsored Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” Tour, his first in five years, across North America. To continue their decade-long partnership, coinciding with the genre’s 50th anniversary, the sponsorship boosted Sprite’s brand visibility and cultural relevance, engaging fans and reinforcing its commitment to hip-hop.

Challenge

In celebration of the It’s All a Blur Tour, Sprite wanted to rekindle the cultural buzz around the legendary 2010 Drake Sprite ad. But instead of simply replaying a classic, they aimed to evolve it—creating a campaign that tapped into nostalgia while capturing data and generating shareable moments for modern fans.

Sprite needed something portable, high-impact, and built for fast deployment across a national tour schedule. The experience had to spark joy, social shares, and real-time engagement, while feeding first-party data into their CRM.

Our Solution

MoZeus developed a tour-ready AR activation centered on a reimagined version of the Drake Sprite ad, merging storytelling with technology in a way that felt fresh, seamless, and undeniably cool. At the heart of the experience was a custom-branded kiosk featuring a real-time AR face filter inspired by the original ad—animated overlays, brand integration, and all.

Fans could step up, interact with the AR filter, and instantly receive a branded GIF via email—making the moment easily shareable while giving Sprite a direct line of communication with fans post-event.

MoZeus built everything for speed and scalability. Whether parked outside an arena or on the road to the next stop on the It’s All a Blur Tour, setup was quick, reliable, and visually striking.

Results

Sprite didn’t just celebrate a classic. They turned it into a fan-driven, digital-first moment that sparked new cultural traction. Thousands of branded GIFs were created and shared across social channels, giving the Drake Sprite ad new life as user-generated content.

The kiosk’s optimized design allowed the activation to pop up at multiple tour stops with minimal effort, while the built-in lead capture mechanism funneled high-quality data back to Sprite in real time. The experience amplified both brand reach and measurable ROI—all while making fans part of the story.
