Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021
The rainbow spectrum deployed throughout Dennis Furniss's campaign operates as one of contemporary visual culture's most potent symbolic vocabularies, carrying accumulated cultural associations with celebration, diversity, hope, and the promise of connection that spans the full range of human experience. The lip motif functions as a universal archetype of intimacy and affection, its segmentation into distinct chromatic zones creating a visual metaphor for unity composed of difference, suggesting that authentic connection embraces rather than erases individual distinctiveness. The horizontal band structure evokes natural phenomena including the prismatic refraction of light through water droplets, traditionally interpreted as symbols of covenant, hope, and the beauty that emerges when unified light reveals its constituent multiplicity. The choice of smartphone as presentation medium carries its own symbolic weight, positioning the campaign within the contemporary agora where community forms through digital connection and shared visual language. Typography rendered in spectral fills transforms written language into visual celebration, the words themselves becoming carriers of chromatic joy. The grid arrangement of multiple devices suggests proliferation and community, each screen a node in a network of shared visual expression. The kiss referenced in the campaign title invokes one of humanity's most intimate gestures, positioned here as an act of generosity that generates benefit beyond the individuals involved, transforming private affection into communal abundance.
To elevate Doritos support of the LGBTQ community, PepsiCo created a purposeful and immersive experience through One Kiss, One Donation. Throughout the campaign the company leveraged TV, digital, and activation opportunities to create a virtual chain of love and respect that swept across social media and into people's hearts. Garnering over 1 million virtual kisses that were converted into a massive donation in support of the community.
