The Campaign

With the world’s attention focused on the historic meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un in Singapore, Coca-Cola seized the opportunity to spread a message of peace, hope and understanding. A day before the summit, limited-edition cans transformed one of the world’s most iconic logos into a symbol of peace.

Creative Execution

The iconic Coca-Cola logo is presented half in English and half in Korean, with a supporting message that reads “Here’s to Peace, Hope and Understanding” in both languages. In doing so, Coca-Cola celebrated the bridging of a divide that few would have thought possible.
