It became clear through research that we needed to increase consumer engagement with our core target groups.And what better way to spark this engagement than using the first name? 150 popular Australian names were added on-pack, inviting all Aussies to ‘Share a Coke’ with Matt, Sarah or Jess during summer 2011. But then we asked ourselves, what about everyone else? The answer? A national mall-based activation that allowed EVERYONE to get their own personalised can of Coke.
