About Colombiana
Colombiana is the Postobón soda that trades hardest on national identity. Its 2025 campaigns included "Pollo y Colombiana por siempre", built on the habit of drinking it with roast chicken, and "Súbete al bus de la nuestra" behind Colombia's World Cup qualification, which won an Effie Plata in the sustained success category. It also ran a limited-edition motorcycle with AKT.
