Walkers Crisps, which is run by PepsiCo, won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions Festival of International Creativity for a clever campaign that added spunk to the traditional sandwich.

The agency enlisted a racecar driver, a boy band and a celebrity to play everyday roles within Sandwich, such as a taxi driver or bartender.
The Walkers Crisps interactive campaign reinforced the idea that potato chips are the perfect sandwich complement. Check out the campaign below:
