Through social media we sought to: Include our loyalists; by featuring real Facebook photos of our fans in the TVC’s. Facilitate consumer involvement; by allowing fans to send virtual ‘Coke’ cans with their friends name on. Aggregate information; to help find specific bottles. Made possible through crowd sourcing locations of names via a mobile app Reward consumers; by giving everyone that purchased a ‘Coke’ the opportunity to win $50k to share with their friends. Embed sharing; throughout all touch points, including the ability to MMS and share on Facebook an image of a friend’s name up in lights at the iconic ‘Coca-Cola’ sign. Ensure interactivity; such as when we asked Australia who they wanted to ‘Share a Coke’ with and enabled them to vote. Respond to conversation; by fulfilling requests from fans to add names to COKE cans to be shared at special events, a wedding party for example!
With a fickle target audience of teens and young adults, and a plethora of new competitors providing alternative solutions, ‘Coca-Cola’ wanted to increase frequency of consumption. 50% of teens and young adults hadn’t enjoyed a ‘Coca-Cola’ in the previous 4 weeks . The Task: To increase consumer engagement with Coca-Cola and reclaim its role as an essential ingredient in connecting with others. Insight: ‘Coca-Cola’ has always been an integral part of people coming together. But in our digital world, the way we connect had changed. We had to jump start some real conversations. Strategy & Idea: To put ‘Coca-Cola’ at the centre of connections between people, we used the power of the first name and added 150 popular Australian names on-pack, inviting everyone to ‘Share a Coke’ during summer 2011. Our communications encouraged participation and provided people the tools to find, connect and share.
