The Campaign

KARAOKE COKE. We transformed a bottle of Coke, turning the cap into a mini Karaoke machine and connect with a music app so teens can then enjoy instant karaoke fun and refreshment with their friends, anytime and anywhere. We created 1,500 KARAOKE COKEs for people to win. Buy a Coke, scan the code to see if you win. Starting from the promotional touch point, we then created a complete branded entertainment experience through an integrated campaign, connecting teens together in the real world.

Creative Execution

The re-invented bottle cap was a breakthrough in the market! Combining Bluetooth microphone and speaker, with quality sound and reverb effect, within a tiny space like never before. Connect it with a mobile phone and open any music app, teens can have instant karaoke entertainment. To kick-start the campaign, we distributed personalized KARAOKE COKEs to 10 popular singers, followed by a TVC. Then we launched a promotional activation exclusively at convenient stores, creating 1,500 KARAOKE COKEs as lucky draw for people to win instantly. Buy a Coke, scan the code to see if you win. During the next 2 months, we invited winners and KOLs to broadcast their KARAOKE COKE fun live. We also hosted live Karaoke venues on the streets and created 4 entertaining KARAOKE COKE music videos. We even collaborated with Hong Kong’s top music app ‘MOOV’ for teens to tailor-make their own music videos with KARAOKE COKE.

Our target audience was 12 to 19 years old Hong Kong local teens. Although they are becoming increasingly individualistic, there is still one authentic local ritual that teens continue to enjoy together that virtual connection can never replace. It is Karaoke. Our strategy was to reconnect teens by leveraging on the Karaoke culture. More than that, we wanted to expand the Karaoke occasion beyond the confined KTV room, to anytime and anywhere in their daily life so that teens can connect more in the real world. Whenever there are young people laughing and singing together, there will always be Coca-Cola amidst them.
