Coca-Cola Relaunch The Iconic ‘Share A Coke’ Campaign

The ‘Share a Coke’ fundamentals are based on connectivity and creating memorable experiences through the “magic of sharing”. The new re-imagined launch holds the exact principles but is designed to connect Gen-Z through a digital interactive experience in hopes of encouraging more sociable and personal interactions. We’ve seen Coca-Cola implement numerous new-tech strategies into their marketing campaigns over the years, with Gen-Z being the targeted demo’ of this relaunch, consumers can expect techy fun features, such as the ‘Share a Coke’ digital experience where personalised bottles can be purchased through a QR digital customisation feature, as well as the ‘Memory Maker’ for creating and sharing personalised content and memes.

We spoke exclusively with Islam Eldessouky, and were keen to know how after over a decade since the initial launch, how he felt Gen-Z would receive the campaign:

“This is a generation that expands on things, you give them tools and they just redefine and play with them…this generation communicates in so many ways, give them the tools and see how it grows. Creativity has been super democratised but I think Gen-Z will take it and expand it in beautiful ways”
