What we’ve found, that Thai’s happiness is that ‘true connection’.
While they like but Coke seems too naïve and idealistic that lived in a world of idealism.
Coke needs to say less and do more, preach less and enable more.
Hence, our strategy was to conquer Cola’s segment by making Coke in hands the enabler of connection and self-expression
How do we plan to get there?
• By re-wiring our Coke marketing model under a consistent local insights driven creative Platform of
"Take a Chance with Coke"
• By deploying our resources for targeted scale and reach with:
o National cut through IMC for TOM
o Always on youth passion points
The Take a Chance idea is to inspire and enable Thai people to Be Bold, and take chance in life for happiness. “Be Bold, Be Fizzy its gotta be Coke” was introduced in late 2012 and continues to embark this platform in 2013 with evolving from ‘Bold Action to ‘Collective Happiness Celebration’.
VIS1: Communication Arch – rationalize ‘the journey of the brand message’
VIS2: Q1-Q3 Calendar with cut frame from Bold Action – Happiness Action in TVC (Q1- Bungee, Q2- Summer, Q3 – CMA)
We didn’t keep the idea quiet… we blasted out all the way from street to the store…
VIS1: Show consumer journey walking from OOH to the store (LED, Mupi, Store POSM)
And we made sure everyone heard about this… So, all media and press from all sections were published our story and what Coke has to say….
The idea took off well, consumers start to see that “Coke understands me and I wanna be friend with Coke”
…While Pepsi made it way back with Beyoncé and new BPPC, we knew Pepsi has had strong relationship with consumers so we wanted to turn on the volume and we were searching for an “A Game”.
We took one of the most successful campaigns from Australia - Share A Coke. And went BIG with the idea
