Happiness Doubles When You Share It: Say "Hello" to the Coca-Cola Sharing Can

PARIS, France, - -For years, Coke has encouraged people to share happiness—and has given them lots of surprising ways to share a Coke.

“There was one thing they couldn’t share” said Chris Garbutt, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy & Mather, France, “The can.” “So we asked ourselves,” continued Chief Creative Officer, Eugene Cheong, Ogilvy & Mather Asia Pacific, “What if they could?”

With that same sentiment Ogilvy & Mather Singapore and Ogilvy & Mather France galvanized resources and shared thinking to make sharing a can of Coca-Cola possible.

Take Coca-Cola Classic’s one person can and design it for two. Twist, turn and share—“yes”, the Coca-Cola can itself.

Furthered Leonardo O’Grady, IMC Director Coca-Cola ASEAN, The Coca-Cola Company, “Half for you and half for someone you love. The Coca-Cola Sharing Can is at the heart of the brand’s optimistic and social spirit heritage over the past 170 years and delivers yet another unexpected moment of connection and happiness"

Okay—on with the enjoyment! See, smile and share (in that order) www.youtube.com/watch?v=72fRuE8vmo0
