4. Executive Summary
From the first sip in 1886, a legend was born in liquid form.
129 years later, the Coca-Cola Company is still making it’s mark as
a global cooperation leading the way in innovation, sustainability,
and commitment to refreshing the world. The Coca-Cola Company
is dedicated to the consumer, with goals to ignite happiness and
passionate interactions on a global level.
To say the Coca-Cola Company is a well-known brand
is an understatement. Despite the company’s global presence
and force in the beverage industry, they have a desire for more
engagement this summer, specifically with the hard-to-reach
Millennials. Research proves that a strong brand image is not
enough for Millennials to commit to purchasing. So, the Coca-Cola
Company can not necessarily rely on their well known name alone.
In attracting Millennials, they must create a higher perceived value.
The Coca-Cola Company has an interesting challenge in being
a large company that needs to meet their consumers on a more
personal, genuine level. Millennials are already bombarded with
content on a daily basis, so setting the entire Coca-Cola experience
apart and being relevant enough for Millennials to stop, listen, and
converse with the brand is important.
This summer, Social Cue will help Coca-Cola Red Can dive
into the lives of Millennials, and inspire them to choose a mindset
in the Polar Summer campaign. Social Cue’s research reveals that
Millennials tend to be split into two unique mindsets during the
summer: the Chillers and the Thrillers. The Chillers prefer spending
the summer months relaxing and recharging in the sun, while the
Thrillers are adrenaline junkies looking to explore. Coca-Cola Red
Can will inspire the nation to weigh in on The Polar Summer, and
follow the transmedia story of the Polar Pair, a dynamic duo of Polar
bears named Chill and Thrill.
Bringing thePolar Summer to Millennials on platforms that they
trustandrelyonwilldrawtheirattention.Millennialsareobsessedwith
instantly sharing their adventures on social platforms. Coca-Cola
will tap into this insight by conversing with them, acknowledging
the value of their summer mindset, and encouraging them to get
involved with the Polar Pair and share their photos with brand. This
coupled with IMC and guerilla tactics will expand reach, engage
Millennials, and get them buzzing about the Polar Summer.
The Coca-Cola Company will partner up with Delta to
incentivize engagement with the campaign. With a free trip to
Hawaii hanging in the balance, Millennials will utilize an App, social
media platforms, and loads of digital content to vote for their side.
While appealing to both Chillers and Thrillers, Coca-Cola
Red Can will encourage consumers to take part in the Polar Pair’s
story and share pieces of their own summer. The Polar Summer
campaignissuretocreatebuzzandexcitementamongstMillennials.
Tapping into Millennials’ summer mindset and creating relevant
and compelling content will not only increase engagement, but
it will also increase sales and brand loyalty this summer. The Polar
Summer is the perfect way to liquidly link the Millennial’s unique
summer experiences with the Coca-Cola side of life.

8. Competitive Analysis
Direct Competitors
Though the Coca-Cola Company holds the
largest market share in the beverage industry, they have
several direct competitors. In particular, Coca-Cola Red
Can competes with other dark-colored, carbonated
soft drinks such as: Pepsi, Dr Pepper, and generic brands
carried in grocery stores. In addition, Coca-Cola Red
Can is experiencing a competitive surge from diet
beverages such as: Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. This can
be attributed to the current health trend and attention
to calorie intake. Despite these direct competitors,
Coca-Cola Red Can remains top-of-mind for consumers
worldwide.
Indirect Competitors
Coca-Cola Red Can competes with several indirect
competitors, some of which are also owned by the
Coca-Cola Company. Brands such as Sprite and
Mountain Dew are major competition as a clear-colored
soft drink, offering a different taste for the consumer
craving a carbonated beverage. Dasani, Deer Park,
Powerade, and Gatorade are hydrating alternatives
for people exercising or staying away from sugary soft
drinks.

9. Consumer Analysis
“Coca-Cola Millennials” are the
primary target audience. Ranging from from 18 years of
age to 34 years of age, they are independent, passionate
about social causes, and technologically savvy. Because
of the wide range of ages, many of these Millennials are in
different life stages. They are students, young professionals,
and some are starting families. They have grown up in a
digital world, so they are comfortable with sharing their lives
online and on social platforms. Millennials have a variety
of summer plans. Some can afford to take off and explore,
while many others are working and hoping to make the
most of their weekends. The majority of them live extremely
fast-paced lives, so a refreshing. caffeinated beverage
keeps them awake and gives them a welcomed escape
from the grind.
“Coca-Cola Enthusiasts” are the secondary
audience. They extend from 35 years of age to 54 years of
age. This group of enthusiasts consumes the most amount of
Coca-Cola. They are more established in their career path
of choice, have families, and more consistency in their lives.
This group of consumers did not come to age in the digital
world, but they are catching on quickly and implementing
social platforms into their daily lives. They have busy
schedules from taking children to soccer practice, keeping
clients happy, and balancing their own hobbies and
activities. To them, summer does not necessarily mean a
break. Between work, families, and responsibilities, they will
be desperate to try and find a little down time this summer.
A classic Coca-Cola offers them the opportunity to take
step back from their hectic lives and enjoy.

10. QR Tells All
Consumers are demanding to know more about the
products they consume and the companies who produce
those products. Many beverage companies are improving
their packaging to better meet these needs. QR codes
are popular way that consumers can quickly connect with
a product and the manufacturer on a virtual level while
creating a positive rapport.
Foodies Demand More
In the past few years, “Foodies” have taken over the
food and beverage blogosphere. “Foodies” see food as an
artform rather than just a necessary calorie intake. They are
now demanding more out of the food and beverages they
purchase. They want more fresh options and creative ways
to use products in unconventional recipes.
Where Coca-Cola Red Can Fits In
• Continuing transparency in the labeling
• Utilizing QR codes on packaging that provide consumers
with relevant information
• Showing different ways to use Coca-Cola in recipes

companies they purchase products from. Not only do they
want a quality product, but they now desire to purchase
from a company that makes a positive impact on society.

many are interested in finding a little bit of calm in the storm
of their busy lives. Consumers are interested in taking a break
from their smartphones.

purchasing products digitally. Millennials are making a great
deal of purchases on their smart phones, so the convenience
of buying with the touch of your finger is a major trend.

13. Research Objectives
Objectives
• To gain insight on the target market’s lifestyles and hobbies
year-round
• To gain insight on the target market’s likes and aspirations for
the summer
• To gain insight on the target market’s attitudes towards Coke
Red Can and what sets them apart from other competitor
consumers
• To uncover consumer and industry trends during the summer
season
• To create a summer’s worth of content 24/7 for Coke Red Can
Summary
Given the task of generating content for Coke Red
Can for an entire summer, it is important to find out the tar-
get market’s attitude toward this season. To know what they
will be doing and where they will be is the most important
objective in order to generate content that is effective,
authentic, and organic. In order to uncover this information,
primary and secondary research must be conducted.
13
14. Research Methods
Primary Research
Photo Culture Dig
Each agency member asked individuals in
the target market to take or gather 10 pictures
of what they consider characteristic of their life.
Each of these pictures acted as a window into
the unique experience of our demographic.
Participants were asked to write a few sentences
describing their daily life. This aimed to gain deep
insight and understand their day-to-day habits
and mindsets during the off-season.
Summer Stalk Sessions
Monitoring and archiving the target
audience’s engagements (shares, likes,
comments) with the brands revealed how they
interacted with Coca-Cola. Social Media listening
exercise showed the online perception of Coca-
Cola by Millenials. This explained the types of
branded content consumers preferred to see and
share on social media.
14
15. Research Methods
Survey
People ages 18-34 were invited to take a survey to
gain insight on their feelings towards summer, social media,
philanthropy and Coke. This was to obtain a more direct,
conscious insight to what people thought about these
topics in comparison to inferences made from pictures and
social media.
Coke Cafe Chats
Coke Chats were held with people in the
demographic to gain insight that dug deeper than the
survey. Follow up questions allowed participants to expand
on answers and elaborate on certain points that the survery
could not cover.

15
16. Summary of Findings
Throughout all research, the target
market’s differing attitudes about summer
was the most significant insight. Certain
individuals anticipate spending the summer
months escaping their daily routine through
new, stimulating ventures. Alternatively,
other people take advantage of the
summertime to break away from the hustle
of the rest of the year.
Furthermore, research showed
participants “like” or “follow” brands on
social media for discounts, new products,
giveaways, contests, and entertainment.
Causes or charities that research
participants engaged with include:
churches, health organizations, and
environmental and animal-related causes.
Research participants typically
associate summer with alcoholic beverages
and water; Coke Red Can was not top
of mind. Some explained they shy away
from Coke in the summer because it loses
carbonation and becomes hot.

17. Consumer Analysis
The Chillers:
Millennials who want to use their summer to relax and
rejuvenate. When Chillers think of summer, they envision
lounging by the pool, catching up on sleep, and soaking up
the sun. They see summer as an opportunity to take a break
from their everyday lives and spend time with the people
they love. Chillers look for ways to disconnect from their
smartphones and slow down. They prioritize their down time
and would rather plan a relaxing beach vacation than go
white water rafting
with their college
buddies. Chillers
hope that taking
a break in the
sunny weather will
rejuvenate them.
The Thrillers:
Millennials who want to seize their summer and
experience new things. When Thrillers think of summer,
they envision hiking with friends, taking road trips to new
cities, and visiting amusement parks. They see summer
as an opportunity to take a break from the ordinary and
explore. Thrillers prioritize new and exciting experiences over
sleep and relaxation. They would rather take a day trip to
a nearby music festival than lay by the pool. They firmly
believe in taking
advantage of the
sun and getting
the most out of
their summer.
Based off our research and Millennial preferences, we have divided consumers
into two distinct sides of summer:

20
21. Marketing Objectives
Marketing Objective:
To generate $10 million unit sales during a four month campaign
beginning May 1, 2015 and ending on September 1, 2015.
Strategy:
To increase sales among current and potential consumers through
a multi-touch point summer campaign. The campaign will appeal
especially to Millennials and increase their association of summer with
Coca-Cola Red Can. This association will encourage consumers to
include Coca-Cola on their summer plans.
Rationale:
By encouraging consumers to share their
summer with Coca-Cola, they will begin to
connect their summer experiences to the
brand. Promoting the brand throughout the
summer and creating positive associations will
allow Coca-Cola to stay top-of-mind and at
the top of consumer’s grocery lists.
21
22. Communication Objectives
To drive 1 billion content engagements, views or
shares during a 4 month campaign beginning May 1, 2015
and ending on September 1, 2015.
Strategy
Use a multi-touch campaign that integrates events
and digital content supported by traditional advertising
techniques to engage the Millennial audience.
Social Cue will create a summer transmedia story for
consumers to follow. This story will be pushed out on digital
social platforms to engage the consumers. The transmedia
story will be supported with an App and a Microsite. The
campaign will feature a series of pop-up events in which
participants will leave with cool, shareable content.
Rationale
Research shows that Millennials prefer social media
platforms rather than traditional advertisements. Millennials
will be far more receptive to Coca-Cola Red Can on a
digital level. The digital portion of the transmedia story will
encourage consumers to weigh in and share their summer
experiences with the brand, which will both encourage
consumers to take part in the buzz.
To create 30% increase in consumer associations
between summer and Coca-Cola Red Can during a 4 month
campaign beginning May 1, 2015 and ending on September
1, 2015
Strategy
Social Que will tell a transmedia story will tell
Millenials about the brand and summer. Consumers will be
encouraged to share their summer experiences on social
media and the app. Exclusive summer time packaging will
also be released.
Rationale
Research showed that Coca-Cola Red Can is not
the first beverage that comes to mind when thinking about
summertime. So, telling a story that surrounds Coca-Cola
and summer will increase awareness of the connection.
Consumers will be able to make the associations on a more
personal level when they are encouraged to share their
summer side with the brand.
Objective Objective
22
23. 1. To reach millennials on a national level, while also
focusing on metropolitan areas where a large number of
millennials reside.
2. Accomplish all media objectives within the
proposed online/digital budget of $3,000,000 and a
suggested traditional media budget of $3,500,000.
3. To keep Coke Red Can in the minds of millennials all
summer long using a continuous media schedule from
May 1, 2015 to September 1, 2015.
4. Maximize reach and frequency from May 1, 2015
to September 1, 2015, ultimately generating 1 billion
content engagements, views, or shares.
Media Objectives
23
25. Media Summary
TRADITIONAL MEDIA
Traditional advertising will be used to introduce
the campaign, create awareness, and drive our target
audience to engage with the contest. The traditional
mediums we chose to focus on are television, magazine,
radio, and outdoor. These mediums will provide the
proper CPM, circulation, and views that are required for a
successful campaign, while also effectively reaching our
target audience.
For television, we chose TV stations based off of
popular shows among millennials: The Big Bang Theory,
The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, and NCIS.
For radio, we will be purchasing spots on a local scale
depending on where the polar pair tour is in the U.S.
For each stop on the tour, local radio ads will be aired
in that city a week in advance to spread awareness.
For magazine advertisements, we carefully selected
magazines that had around 21% penetration or that were
indexed over 200 for millennials. Purchasing ads in these
magazines will effectively reach our target audience. As
for outdoor advertising, we will purchase billboard space
in metropolitan areas where the polar pair tour is stopping.
DIGITAL MEDIA
Although we are using a heavy amount of traditional
media, the focus of our campaign is completely digital.
The entire campaign will revolve around the microsite and
mobile app. These digital interfaces are collecting data on
the nationwide contest and encouraging people to share
their #chillorthrill summers. The app/microsite is ultimately
where we will accomplish 1 billion content engagements,
views, or shares. We will also be bringing in a transmedia
element into the picture, telling stories of the polar pair as
they venture across the country. We will gradually release the
complete story overtime, keeping participants engaged. To
remind people to keep up with the bears and stay active in
the campaign, we will also be using targeted banner ads for
remarketing.
CONTEST
The entire campaign budget is dedicated to a contest
that will engage our target audience in a way that we hope
will grow the campaign exponentially. The contest challenges
participants to #chillorthrill and share their side of summer
via social media and word of mouth. We are confident that
with the proper execution, this campaign will go viral among
millennials.

27. Creative Brief
Client Name: Coca-Cola Red Can
Key Fact: Summer is a time for people to escape their
normal lives, whether that means speeding up or slowing
down. From relaxing by the pool to going white water
rafting, Millennials have a summer story that they want to
share.
Problem: People do not associate Coca-Cola Red Can with
their summer story.
Objective: To drive 1 billion content engagements, views or
shares during a four month campaign beginning May 1, 2015
and ending on September 1, 2015.
Target Market: Millennials ages 18 to 34 identify with two
summer mindsets: 1) rest and relaxation and 2) adventure
and excitement. The group that prioritizes relaxation
prefers to spend their time unwinding from the stresses that
occur during the rest of the year. The group that prioritizes
excitement prefers to use their summer free time to explore
and engage in new enterprises and experiences. The
primary influencer that helps define which ‘side of the line’
millennials fall on is their life stage.
Insight:
Emma: “I’m the kind of person that’s worn down by the
time summer rolls around. From work to my family, I have
a lot on my plate. So, for me summer means a chance to
take a breather and slow down a bit. I love to go to my
cousin’s lake house and just lay out with a good book. All of
my family comes along and we cook great food and relax.
When I can’t get away for the weekend, I love just having
my friends over for a movie night.”
James: “I can’t wait for this summer. My friends and I made
a bucket list of all the places we want to visit and things
we want to do. I am most excited to roadtrip to the Grand
Canyon and try the new Vietnamese restaurant in town. I
feel like this summer is going to be epic, and I am excited
to try out my Go Pro. My Facebook friends are going to
be blown away when they see a video of me white water
rafting.”
Promise: Coca-Cola Red Can will be with you through your
entire summer, whether you decide to relax or adventure.
Support: As a globally responsible brand, Coca-Cola wants
to make the world a better place and help you do the
same.No matter what you want this summer, Coca-Cola will
be there with you

than ready to take a break
Summary
Every summer, people soak up the sun, take
a break from their everyday lives, and do the
things they have been waiting all winter to do.
When it comes to summer activities, people
have very different interests. Our research
shows that people tend to be split into two
polar opposite mindsets:
28
29. Creative Concept
The Thrillers• Thrillers are adrenaline junkies looking to explore
new and exciting place
• The Thrillers want to take advantage of the
beautiful weather and move away from their
normal routines
29
30. Chillers and Thrillers will follow the Polar Summer and engage with their summer story by:
• Following the transmedia adventures of Chill and Thrill
• Downloading the App and voting for their side of summer, polarizing themselves, sharing content, and
locating fun summer activities
• Going on the Microsite and voting and checking out where Chill and Thrill will go next
• Sharing their own summer experiences on social media, with the exclusive hashtag
• Taking Polar Summer Buzzfeed quizzes
• Listening to Polar Summer Spotify playlists
• Attending a Polar Summer Experiential Event
• To stay relevant to the Chillers and the Thrillers, the
transmedia story of Chill and Thrill, the members of the
Polar Pair, will transpire throughout the campaign

32. Creative Executions
The Polar Pair
Chill ThrillThe Polar Pair, Chill and Thrill, are taking a break from the bitter North
Pole and vacationing in the USA this summer. They cannot wait to soak
up the sun and take a break from their hectic everyday lives. Though
they are best friends, the two have very different personalities and
represent two unique summer mindsets.
Chill enjoys the slower side of summer and is looking forward to
relaxing. His demanding schedule in the North Pole prevents him from
enjoying the simplicities of life. This summer will allow Chill to spend
quality time with Thrill while reconnecting with friends and family. A
stranger to the warmth and sunshine, Chill is looking forward to getting
some sun and drinking plenty of cold Coca-Colas by the pool...and
beach...and lake.
Looking to make the most of his time off this summer, Thrill’s
adventurous spirit calls him to experience new things. The summertime
brings fewer responsibilities than the rest of the year, and Thrill is hoping
to take full advantage by travelling as much as possible. He is stoked
to explore the States with his old friend and make some new ones
along the way. Thrill has already planned adventures like white water
rafting down the Grand Canyon, surfing in Malibu, and sightseeing in
New York City.
As the Polar Pair explore the country, they are looking for
suggestions to keep them busy all summer long. Are you a Chiller
or a Thriller? Tell Chill or Thrill how you plan to make the most of your
summer. Follow the Polar Pair across the country on the app and join
them on their journey.
32
33. Digital
Webisodes
Incorporated in the microsite and mobile
app will be the story of the polar pair
vacationing away from the North Pole for
the summer. For every 1,000 points the chill
or thrill side earns, a new digital video
will be released revealing where the
polar pair is on their journey.
Cost: $1,869,000
33
34. Digital
Polar Summer Online Post Cards
Additional transmedia content will be released in
the form of digital postcards on the microsite. As the Polar
Pair travels the country and consumers engage with the
campaign, Chill and Thrill will send out city-specific postcards
with stories about their time in that place. These will go
hand-in-hand with the webisodes and will also be sharable
via social media sites, further connecting the campaign
and promoting
engagement.
34
36. Digital
MicroSite
A microsite is recommended to be built that fully encompasses the Polar Summer campaign. The site is
intended to allow the target audience to engage with the brand and start participating in the nationwide
contest. After entering the site and choosing to Chill or Thrill, people will be encouraged to share on social
media, get involved in events around the U.S. and keep up with the contest live. Ultimately, the microsite is a
hub that manages and encourages engagements, shares, views, and likes.
Total Cost: $100,000
14
36
38. Mobile App
Just like the microsite, the mobile app will be developed specifically for
the Polar Summer campaign. The app will allow consumers to keep up with
how many points they are generating for their side. In order to be involved in
the campaign’s contest, participants must download and sign up on the app
to keep track of their points and discover special opportunities to earn more
points. Once the application has been downloaded, the user will create a
username and password that syncs with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Vine
accounts. The app can perform the following functions:
1. Vote daily on the Fizzometer, which will be streaming live in Times
Square, measuring the sentiments of the nation
2. Share whether you are chilling or thrilling on the app, which can be
shared to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Vine
3. Use the app to locate a local summer activity, and then checking
in upon arriving at that location using the “Staycation” portion of
the app.
4. Buy a Coca-Cola Red Can branded with the Polar Pair and the use
the QR code listed on the can, which allows Coca-Cola to keep
track of purchases and engagements. The app will be available
throughout the duration of the campaign.
Total Cost: $100,000
38
42. Digital
Times Square Fizzometer
A digital billboard in Times Square will give live updates
of who is thrilling and chilling across the country. Using the
app, users will be able to interact with the billboard in Times
Square. The billboard will feature the hourly updated Fizzometer,
displaying whether the nation is Chilling or Thrilling at the time.
This digitally stimulating billboard advertisement will create buzz
and interest as well as encourage people to download the app
so they can vote daily. The Fizzometer will be displayed in Times
Square from May 2015 through September 1, 2015.
Cost: $100,000
42
43. Digital
Facebook:
A Facebook page for the campaign
separate from the official Coca-Cola
page will be created. This page will
be a reminder for likers to follow the
Polar Pair on their journey and share
Instagram and Twitter posts to the
Facebook page.
Pinterest
Since social media platforms are major
components of the millennial generation, it is vital
to our campaign to create a hashtag. When a
participant posts on Twitter or Instagram with the
hashtag #thrillorchill , the post will automatically
show up on the hashtag page. The use of the
hashtag on these social media sites is a way to be
active with the campaign while earning points for
the Delta sponsored contest. Hastag usage will
encourage millenials to engage with the campaign
while creating buzz.
43
44. Twitter and Instagram:
Since social media platforms are major components
of the millennial generation, a hashtag is vital to our cam-
paign. When a participant posts on Twitter or Instagram with
the hashtag #chillorthrill, the post will automatically show up
on the hashtag page. The use of the hashtag on these social
media sites is a way to be active with the campaign while
earning points for the Delta sponsored contest. Hashtag us-
age will encourage millenials to engage with the campaign
while creating buzz.
Digital
44
45. Digital
Buzzfeed Quiz:
In order to produce an abundant amount of digital
content, Buzzfeed is highly recommended. First, a Buzzfeed quiz
will provide a fun way for people to determine which summer
mindset is their best fit. After the quiz decides if you are a Chiller
or a Thriller, there will be a link to the respective Pinterest page
for suggestions on how to Chill or Thrill. Two separate Buzzfeed
articles for Chillers and for Thrillers will be featured: one article
titled “7 ways to Chill” and one article called “7 ways to Thrill”.
The Buzzfeed content is intended to generate buzz and shares
on social media.
Total Cost: $0
45
47. Banner Ads:
Targeted banner advertisements are an important
factor in the campaign because Millennials are internet
fanatics. Targeted banner ads are recommended for
remarketing. Anyone who visits the campaign microsite will
see the remarketed ads. Since the contest’s grand prize is
an all-inclusive trip through Delta Airlines, anyone who visits
Delta’s website will see the remarketing ads as well. The ads
are intended to grab the audience’s attention and remind
them to keep engaging with the microsite. The banner ad
will have two sides to it with an animated flip. The animation
will attract more attention to the ad. The banner ad will be
very straightforward with a click-through to the microsite.
Total Cost: $500,000
Digital
47
48. Spotify
48
Spotify Playlists:
It’s no surprise that millennials are all
about Spotify, so to speak to their love of music,
Spotify playlists will be created that embody
the polar summer. There will be a “Chill” playlist
that can be played while lounging by the
pool, painting, or strolling down the beach,
and there will be a “Thrill” playlist that will
gets listeners pumped
up for whatever
adventurous activities
they are planning. The
playlists will add to the
abundant amount of
digital content and
encourage millennials to
keep engaging with the
campaign.
49. Outdoor
Because the campaign’s focus is digital media,
only a small portion of the proposed budget is allocated
towards outdoor. One nationwide billboard will be
created to generate buzz and to drive people to the app
and microsite. The billboards will run in the top 10 DMAs,
as well as the cities that the Polar Pair will be visiting
throughout the summer.
Chill and Thrill bus stops will also be placed
throughout the US. The design will split the
bus stop into a chill side and a thrill side so that while
consumers are awaiting their transportation they can
escape to their ideal summer situation. With this creative
approach to out-of-home media, consumers will be able
to engage with The Polar Summer without changing their
daily routine.
Total Cost: $1,895,500
49
50. Print
Magazine
Although it may seem that millennials
can only be reached online, they are actually
more likely than older adults to be in the top
40% of magazine readers. Because of this, ads
will be plced in nine magazines that Millennials
frequently read: Cosmopolitan, Maxim, ESPN,
Seventeen, Vibe, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated,
Entertainment Weekly and Vogue. By utilizing the
recommended magazines, the target audience
will effectively be reached and engaged in the
campaign. The full-page, full-color print ad will
run in Cosmo, Maxim, Vibe and Rolling Stone
during the months of May 2015 and July 2015. It
will also run in ESPN, Seventeen, Sports Illustrated
and Entertainment Weekly during the months of
June 2015 and August 2015. Total number of ads:
16.
Total Cost: $2,823,070
50
52. Television
TV Ad:
Cable television is recommended to effectively reach millennials because the vast majority regularly tunes
in to traditional TV for 2.5 to 2.7 hours per day. The Polar Summer Campaign will begin with a heavy emphasis on
traditional media to generate awareness. The suggested cable TV stations (ABC, CBS, NBC, FX, FOX, AMC) will
successfully introduce the campaign to Millennials and get them to start engaging. The 30 second spot will run on
these stations from the months of May 2015 through September 1, 2015, a total of 40 spots.
Total Cost: $14,000,000
Beach Party TV Spot Polar Pair Party TV Spot
52
53. Millennials are more likely to listen to the radio than
older adults. Therefore, radio advertising is recommended
to reach the target audience on a local scale. For each city
that the polar pair visits, a local radio ad will be released
informing them about the event. The radio ads will feature
Chill and Thrill discussing their next stop on the tour. Listeners
will hear the famous Coca-Cola jingle and be asked to
visit the microsite for more information. The recommended
advertisements will attract our target audience to the events
and encourage them to get involved in the contest. The
radio ads will run from May 2015 through August 2015, a total
of 1,620 spots. The list of cities can be found in the media
expenditures on page _____,
Total Cost: $170,370

54. In order to encourage consumers to engage with
the summer campaign, a contest will be organized in
conjunction with Delta Airlines. Participants will be able to
download a smartphone application, create an account,
and choose whether they are a Thriller or a Chiller. They
will ultimately attempt to
win by logging into the
app earn points. Points
can be earned by voting
for the Chillers or Thrillers,
posting to social media
with the hashtag, scanning
a #chillorthrill Coke with a
QR code, and checking
into local places per the
app’s geo-suggestion.
By September 1, the 100
Chillers and 100 Thrillers with
the most points allocated
will win the grand prize: an
all-inclusive trip through
Delta Airlines with a plus
one. Chillers and Thrillers will
head to Hawaii for a week
of adventure or relaxation.
Contest: Chill or Thrill
54
55. One of the major features of our campaign will center
around the Polar Pair as they travel across the country. They
will be bringing people visions of their ideal summer. The semi
truck will be a virtual experience that allows participants
to take a break from their everyday lives and experience
their summer aspirations. The truck will contain three
compartments, allowing three participants to experience
their summer fantasy. Each participant will be prompted
to answer a few questions, determining if he or she is a
chiller or thriller upon entering the room. After receiving the
information, an algorithm will compute a 360 image that
will transport the participant to an appropriate location.
For example, a Thriller may be able to see themselves
ziplining in the rainforests of Costa Rica, or a Chiller may see
themselves relaxing by the ocean in a lounge chair. The room
will also allow for sound effects and other 4D components,
such as a water mist or moving platform, to make the
projected experience as realistic as possible. At the end
of the simulation, the participant can access their virtual
experience through the app, and a shareable video will
allow the participant to share their unique projection and the
hashtag on social media. The participant will exit the truck
and receive a complimentary Coke and branded swag.
Total Cost: $6,000,000
Destination Chill or Thrill
55
56. Whether a Chiller or Thriller, the Chill or Thrill Beach Bash will
celebrate summer. These beach parties will take place in
eight beach cities around the United States including:
Activities for Chillers will feature:
• Recharging zones
• Gaming areas
• Bocce ball
• Corn hole
Activities for Thrillers will feature:
• Surf lessons
• Beach volleyball
• Water obstacle course
• Epic water slide
The Destination Chill or Thrill truck will also make pit
stops to these parties. Each party will close with an artist
influential to that area. These concerts are sure to draw our
target demographic and will encourage all participants to
connect with Coke through music.
Total Cost: 6,000,000
The Polar Pair and WWF
The Polar Pair will also encourage participants to
recycle their Coke cans and dispose of all trash, and
promote their partnership with the World Wildlife Fund.
Partiers will be invited to become actively engaged in
the campaign by using the hashtag when posting pictures
or videos. Additionally, participants can use the Snapchat
app to add their Snapchats to a The Polar Summer
Snapchat story that will be shared with other users across
the world.

57. Public Relations
Internal Public Relations:
It is vital that all Coca-Cola employees are
well educated about all advertising, branding, and
merchandising of the summer campaign in order to be
able to create excitement. Each employee will receive
a promotional package detailing the campaign and
explaining the two mindsets of summer. The package
will contain branded materials, copies of the print
advertisements, blog posts, and the background history of
the Polar Pair.
External Public Relations:
For both the virtual experience and the Chill or Thrill
Beach Bashes, local newspapers, TV and radio stations will
be informed of the Coca-Cola campaign coming to their
city. Press releases will be distributed to each of the cities
on the planned routes detailing the events. News coverage
will increase hype and attract individuals in the target
demographic to participate in the campaign. This earned
media will spread awareness of the campaign without
having to spend extra money in media buying.
Partnerships:
Because of Delta’s ongoing partnership with Coca-
Cola, Delta will be an important partner in The Polar Summer
Campaign. Promotional material detailing information about
the contest, its rules and its regulations will be featured in
all Delta airplanes through the duration of the summer.
Delta will fly the winners of the contest to a specific location
chosen to cater to each group’s interests. The Chillers will be
treated to a relaxing vacation, while the Thrillers will be taken
on the adventure of a lifetime.
The World Wildlife Fund will also partner with Coke
in this summer campaign. The Polar Pair will be the main
proponent of this partnership, encouraging wildlife and
environmental protection. “Bear Hug” vending machines
and Coke branded recycling spots will be distributed
throughout the nation to raise awareness and funds for the
WWF.
57
58. Promotional Materials
Coke branded swag designed for Millenials will be distributed at all events throughout the summer. Promotional materials
will include: koozies, sunglasses, beachballs, volleyballs, beach towels, beach bags, and t-shirts. All materials will be branded
with the Polar Pair and the campaign hashtag, #chillorthrill.
58
59. Guerilla Marketing
Guerilla marketing tactics will be used throughout
the campaign to spread awareness and create buzz. The
first will be a vending machine designed to look like one
of the Polar Pair. In order to receive a Coke, the consumer
must give the machine a “bear hug.”
These vending machines will be created in
conjunction with the WWF so that the dollar that would
have been spent on the Coke will in turn be donated to
save the polar bears.
Total Cost: $1,000,000
59
60. Evaluation
Virtual Experience
The number of promotional objects passed out at
the event will be an indicator of the number of people
who engaged/attended the event. The bars will keep a
head count of the number of individuals that attend the
event and join the line to view the experience and cross-
reference those two figures.
We plan to let people know about the event coming
to their town through social media and by notification
through the integrated mobile app.
Beach Party
Since invitations are given out via app, we will see
how many people RSVP via the app. We will keep track of
the amount of people that participate in all of the beach
activities by the amount of people that sign waivers as well
as the count of wristbands that are passed out to each
Chiller/Thriller.
We will also use social media to see how many
people are engaging with our party via an extended
hashtag for the party specifically. Views and screenshots
on our sponsored snapchat posts will be counted as well as
part of our engagements.
Contest with DELTA
On the back end of the app, keep a running meter
of how many recorded activities total consumers have
engaged in to try to win the contest and keep track of
an average amount per registered participant along
with running count of how many times the app was
downloaded.
Traditional
The campaign will start with TV ads promoting the
event. The engagements there will be determined by
reach and frequency. The commercial spots will be aired
on Broadcast networks along with other targeted channels
like MTV, E!, Bravo, Esquire, etc.
PR Buzz
One of our main goals is to market content. We will
amp up our social media and writing teams for featured
content on media outlets twitter, facebook, snapchat,
tumblr. We will reach out to creators of Buzzfeed to create
a trending article sponsored by Coke Red Can; local news
stations/newspapers/etc. will receive press releases about
the events Coke Red Can will be bringing to them.
60
61. Future Recommendations
In an effort to increase Coke Red Can’s association with summer, it is important to provide a
consistent, notable, and interactive summer campaign every year. The focus should be on creating a
campaign that will make people want to share their experience at events and with the trademarked can
on social media.
As for this specific campaign, Social Cue recommends more content marketing through social
media platforms and microsites. It is imperative that Coke stays with consumers through their unique
summer experience. The Polar Summer concept is adaptable to upcoming seasons and current events.
For example, the 2016 presidential election is an opportunity to emphasize the rivalry that exists in political
campaigns through the juxtaposition of the Polar Pair. It is also recommended that the campaign be
presented in a less controversial way than the election, but still parallels the divide that is present in the
United States during election season.

hectic
day-‐to-‐day
life
and
use
summer’s
extra
time
to
spend
reconnecting

view
the
summer
as
a
time
for
adventure
and
an
opportunity
to
discover
new
experiences.
The
event
will
cater
to
both
mindsets,
providing
activities
for
Chillers
and
Thrillers.
Chillers
