Overview

ClientBriefOrObjective

The task was to bring to life Coca-Cola’s new ‘Crazy for Good’ strategy in an optimistic and powerful way.

The insight was that a moment of happiness has the power to bring the world closer together.

So we set about bringing that moment to two groups who would normally never connect but who were familiar with the values of Coca-Cola - India and Pakistan.

A 3 day direct response event encouraged them to step forward let them interact like never before.

In doing this we built brand love and proved a core belief of the Coca-Cola brand: what unites people is stronger than what sets them apart.

Execution

Small World Machines are a highly visible and tangible realisation of Coca-Cola’s values, compelling consumers to get actively involved with the brand in a way that had never been done before.

They are purpose built to encourage interaction and break down borders, spreading Coke’s message of optimism and happiness.

Implementation

At the heart of the campaign lay 2 purpose built Coca-Cola machines equipped with world-first technologies that opened a portal between India and Pakistan.

Over 3 days, hundreds used the Small World Machines for the first time.

Each has a full body touchscreen, invented for the campaign, that allows eye to eye contact and physical interaction.

To use the machines, participants had to actively engage with each other, sending messages of peace, love and happiness. Each was rewarded with a can featuring the languages of the 2 nations.

Outcome

RESULTS AFTER SEVEN DAYS

Over 10,000 attendees put aside their differences and became part of the experience, creating over 700 connections across the border.
