Fun Advertising Campaigns
Guaraná Antarctica has created many memorable advertisements. These ads often feature famous people or clever ideas. They help people learn about the drink and its unique flavor.
One famous commercial from 2006 featured Argentine football star Diego Maradona. In the ad, he dreamed he was wearing a Brazilian team jersey. He even sang the Brazilian national anthem! He then woke up, saying it was a nightmare. He blamed drinking too much guaraná the day before.
Another advertisement was quite interesting. It showed guaraná berry farms in the Amazon region. A narrator explained how Guaraná Antarctica is made. At the end, the narrator challenged viewers. They asked if another famous soda company could show their main plant. This ad was a playful way to highlight the natural origin of guaraná.
