Coca-Cola is rolling out the U.S. initiative to support polar bears, a multi-platform campaign with a range of elements including QR codes, which can be spotted on dedicated Coca-Cola cups distributed by 7-Eleven. This is the first QR program launched by Coca-Cola in the USA (previously, the company launched QR code programs tied to other campaigns in Japan and Germany), and it helps promote the message of the initiative, launched by Coke and WWF earlier this month to raise awareness about the need to protect polar bear’s Arctic habitat.

The Coca-Cola System in Great Britain (‘Coca-Cola’) has unveiled bold plans to recycle all colourless Coke and non-Coke branded PET plastic disposed of at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This pledge forms one part of Coca-Cola’s approach to achieving its most sustainable sponsorship activation to date. 

Polar bears have been Coca-Cola’s for almost a century, and now they really need the brand to help save the endangered animals from extinction. The iconic brand has teamed up with WWF, its longstanding partner in nature focused activities, to launch the new campaign dubbed Arctic Home, encouraging people across the USA to contribute to the polar bear conservation effort during winter season. The brand is making the initial donation of $2 million to WWF, hoping to raise up to $1 million through consumer texting donations. To spread the message across the nation, the brand is changing its visual identity—for the period of the campaign, which is running from November 2011 till March 2012, the iconic red cans will become white with the red ‘Coca-Cola’ inscription and polar bears (a mother bear and her two cubs), and other drinks from the company’s portfolio will get white caps.

Coke Zero is kicking off a new global campaign to support the launch of the long-awaited fourth installation of the Mission Impossible franchise, just like it did two years ago promoting Avatar and in 2010 supporting Thron: Legacy release. The new movie ‘Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol’ will premier in nearly two months, in December, but the bubble drinks’ promotion, which includes TV spots, in cinema advertising, product packaging and digital activation, will be rolling our across the world over a few weeks.

Soft drinks brands often inspire consumers to think out of the box and push their creativity further by motivating them to delve into a new experience. After you refresh your body, why not continue with refreshing your mind? Nestea launched the brand’s first-ever global integrated marketing campaign dubbed ‘The Start of Something Different’ to encourage people around the globe to embrace completely new ideas and open their hearts to new activities. To reach global audience, the brand used a range of social and interactive elements, created by Wieden+Kennedy.

Coca-Cola is committed to spreading happiness and sharing positive emotions all around the globe. Usually, one doesn’t need much to feel happy, since even a small gesture, a little personalized gift can make our day. In Australia, the legendary soft drink brand has released a range of bottles and cans with the most popular names in the country—Jess, Sam, Edward, Matt, Kevin, Kate and others (there are 150 of them)—printed on the front of the packaging as part of the Share a Coke campaign ahead of the Christmas season, inviting people to buy these personalized drinks for their friends and family. Consumers can purchase the cans and bottles, which already have the names, or ask to put the ones they want for free at one of 18 Westfield Shopping Centers.

Powerade is launching a month long on-pack promotion giving consumers the chance to win a pair of tickets to the sold out 100M Finals at the London 2012 Olympic Games with every promotional bottle of Powerade ION4 and Zero. From October 3 through October 31, fans can not only win tickets to the fastest show on earth but will also have the chance to watch other Olympic events such as Basketball, Track Cycling or Beach Volleyball on two different days as part of a once-in-a-lifetime hospitality prize package.
