In addition to tapping into consumer behavior of rewarding audiences for the App download and hanging out with friends, the App rewards audiences for purchases with rewards that are most likely to resonate with and exhilarate the core target audience.

To create exhilarating and differentiating reward experiences in an App, Pepsi Pass targets the core consumer behavior that can be rewarded with prizes and rewards. In a mobile-first world it means designing rewards that can help with brand discovery and make the brand salient  with an app that rewards users with the prizes and points for what the user is most excited about. Using social media channels to promote the app helps connect with the core target audience, while bringing in referrals. Pepsi Pass design is unique as it leverages the mobile behavior of the audience and the usage of social media lets the users earn more points by referring the app to their friends.
