Strategy & Ideation

Challenges

"Taste the feeling" was the brand's platform but people associate it with the Classic taste. We needed to give all that attitude to the Zero Sugar version.

We created a simple but powerful narrative based on 'firsts'. From start the idea had to have modular assets , be adaptable for every market and for every seasonal promotions. Social media, 15" YouTube bumpers, Summer promos or Pride month, we did it all while keeping the brand's POV and the campaign's overarching concept and storytelling.

Results

ICONOCITY. Mini stories like "pride" and "baywatch" became top of mind with a 8x increase in 'a brand for me' and 'brand values association' - internal Coca-Cola indicators.

The summer edits went on to be used in 13 markets, the highest adoption rate by Business Units since the EMEA Central hub was created. It delivered 3.8x value after run with a promotion versus previous summer campaigns and the Pride edits made it to Picadilly Circus in the first ever Coca-Cola sponsorship of the event.
