Coca-Cola Great Britain (CCGB) is bringing back its popular Designated Driver campaign to reward responsible drivers with free drinks this festive period. Now in its fourth year, the activity offers consumers a buy-one-get-one free offer on Coca-Cola and Diet Coke and is supported by digital, POS as well as backing from the Department for Transport’s THINK! road-safety initiative.

White can’t replace red when it comes to Coca-Cola. The carbonated drinks giant, which launched a white can (for the very first time in its history) for the winter season as part of the campaign aiming at raising awareness and funds for polar bears and their Arctic Home, is now introducing the traditional red cans, because the ‘snowy’ version got frosty reception, even though the product itself was not changed at all. Responding to consumers’ demand for the iconic red packaging, starting in early December the brand is switching the background of the limited-edition ‘Arctic Home’ cans to the traditional red, preserving the same ‘polar bear’ design.
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.
