Coca-Cola: Gaining lost ground

Listen to article

For over 100 years Coca-Cola has dominated the soft drinks market

But, with competition increasing, how could the iconic brand stake a claim in culture and drive relevance to current and future generations of drinkers?

Bringing Fans Closer to the Game

To combat this, M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment London and M&C Saatchi London aligned Coca-Cola with one of the most significant drivers in culture globally: football. Through a variety of programmes, partnerships and events they connected Coca-Cola to the sport through one driving idea: let’s bring fans closer to the game.

And that’s just what they did. Bringing millions closer to the FIFA World Cup by creating their very own airplane to tour the trophy around the world, and connecting fans globally through a fully integrated campaign, ‘Where Everyone Plays’, in a celebration of the diversity of the Premier League.
