Do you mean contributed to his campaign? Or is this about product placement?
It is illegal for corporations to make political contributions. So no, Pepsi would not be allowed to sponsor a political campaign.
However, if Pepsi has a political action committee, they can contribute up to $5,000 to a particular candidate over a 2-year election cycle.
