Coca-Cola Pakistan Case Study

Breaking records with eye-popping bottle display.

The Results

Throughout its 10-year run, Coke Studio has made history by becoming Pakistan’s premiere music production source and the biggest event on Pakistan’s annual entertainment calendar. To celebrate its anniversary , Coca-Cola wanted to keep up its winning streak and make a bigger splash than ever before.

The Solution

Guinness World Records organised a discovery session in which the title for the Largest packaged product display was decided and provided a project manager who worked with the client from the start to their victorious finish, a 1,470.81 cubic metres display made entirely of Coca-Cola bottles. 

As it wasn’t possible to send an adjudicator to the site, Guinness World Records offered its brand-new Remote Adjudication Services to help make it Officially Amazing. But the most important feature of this package is the exciting video element – the audience was shown a pre-attempt clip where the adjudicator explained the process and the guidelines. Once the record had been verified off-site, a video was shown announcing it to the audience – and the well-earned celebrations commenced. 

For more information, see below the pre-attempt clip for Coca-Cola Pakistan.

To create hype around the event, Coca-Cola made full use of the Guinness World Recordstm Official Attempt logo in the two-week run-up, and the Official Record Holder logo for six weeks after. As well as this, they also had four weeks with the official Record Holder video licensing, which allowed them to show their achievements to their YouTube followers. 

With support from Guinness World Records, Coca-Cola Pakistan experienced a staggering 561% growth in sales compared to last year.

Coke Studio has revolutionised the music landscape of Pakistan and we wanted to do something exciting to celebrate its 10th anniversary. We decided to collaborate with Metro C&C as this year also marks our 10-year partnership with them. It’s a proud moment to jointly break this Guinness World Records title. It highlights our passion and commitment to drive new and innovative thinking across all touchpoints that we jointly reach as the Coca-Cola System. — Mr John M. Galvin, General Manager at CCI Pakistan

Coca-Cola and Music: A Case Study

Coca-Cola is taking giant steps in developing countries to harness the loyalty of teenagers to its brand. The company, which has a long history of integrating popular music into its product lifestyle, is now making music the tool of choice (sic) “to refresh the world” and “inspire moments of optimism and happiness”. These two statements, which define Coke’s 2020 Vision , could of course equally apply to music making. 1 Indeed, if Coke is to double its revenue, as it hopes, it will have to focus more squarely on consumers and become a more transparent and emotionally relatable brand with younger generations. Music can do the trick. (Editor’s Note: In our Dec. 2016 issue we noted the growing involvement of mass consumer brands with music; see Karin Harvey’s “Sponsorship Lift Off”. )

In 2015, Coca-Cola spent approximately $6.8 billion marketing dollars, about 15% of its annual revenue worldwide. 2 This number, coincidentally, approximates the annual value of recorded music sales in the United States, so the sum is of the first order.   Although the particular proportion paid to   musicians is unknown, if only one in every twenty dollars were disbursed on that count, a conservative estimate, the tally would be close to four hundred million dollars worldwide. Artist endorsements are thus not neutral to the business, and are profitable for those lucky enough to get them. And this is true even if wearing some de rigeur red is a must and any blue is expressly forbidden — for the latter would remind consumers of its rival, Pepsi.

The Value of Music

Understanding lifestyle choices is key to Coke sales and music is the canary in the coalmine. The average American listens to more than four hours of music each day. 3 With consumption ranging from terrestrial radio to online streaming, and anything in between,   advertising opportunities are endless. Consumer brands like Coca-Cola also need a more direct approach to the masses, and that is where multi million dollar deals with artists come in handy. An artist’s bond with a fan base can both be exploited to make a stronger imprint on clients and yield clues about future behavioral trends, keeping the company current with the attitudes and habits of modern consumers.

This marketing strategy is not new. Coca-Cola’s use of music in the United States dates back to its launch in the late XIXth century, when iconic and popular music hall singer and actress Hilda Clark helped establish the brand through printed ads. Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, Taylor Swift, and Maroon 5, among others, have since taken on the baton for Coke, who is still outspends other soda brands.

Because the population pyramid looks so different in emerging economies than it does in matures ones — where the bulge is typically among age groups of thirty and above instead of children and teens — for Coke to survive, especially in the periphery, it has to refresh its image with a younger audience.

According to Coca-Cola’s own 2020 Vision , India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, China, and the U.S. will contain half of the teen population by the new decade. That is where the company is focused in its quest to double its receipts, 4 i.e. among the approximately 1.8 billion people between the ages of 10-24 that account for the largest youth population in history.   A self-proclaimed global lifestyle brand, Coke must tap music to reach its goal.

A new strategy was devised in the United States in July 2011, when the company launched a partnership with music licensing agency Music Dealers.

Music Dealers, founded in 2008, built catalogs of indie talent for companies to use in marketing campaigns and thrived on seeking artists who owned the rights to their own music. They also allowed artists to license their material beyond the Music Dealer catalog and split placement fees and publishing royalties   equally. The relationship benefitted both the musician and Music Dealer’s client companies. As far as Music Dealers was concerned, they landed mega brand customers like Coke and about $5 million in financing in the next three years. 5 If Coca-Cola was not going to develop talent itself, this was the next best thing.

The relationship, though, was volatile. Finding the right crossover international talent for Coke was never going to be easy, despite some early successes with a couple of unknown Swedish bands that were signed by Music Dealers in America. Coca Cola dissolved the affiliation in 2015, and Music Dealers, which had invested in global offices following Coke’s early interest, went into bankruptcy.

  In the meantime, Coca-Cola found a cheaper way to influence consumer culture and help emerging talent in countries with developing markets.

Coke still has a strong music influence globally through its prospering Coke Studio, a television series commenced in Brazil in 2007 that broadcast live recording sessions of up and coming local artists. Coke Studio was brought to Pakistan in 2008 and became an instant hit there, engaging nine out of ten TV-owning Pakistanis. 6

The campaign worked so well in Pakistan that it became the exemplar for Coke’s international marketing. Coke Studios were started in Africa, airing in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria and Mozambique. Asia followed, in India and the Middle East. 7 Naturally, as Coke Studio expands, it promotes music in lesser-known cultures, which in turn creates special bonds of affection with local Coke drinkers. It also offers a great opportunity for artists to gain exposure as well as work with sponsored producers and a world-class production team.

The Value of Coca-Cola

The mission of Coke Studio in Pakistan and elsewhere has always been to cultivate a younger generation through the empowerment and transparency afforded by musical expressions of any sort. The goal is to transcend the boundaries of race, language, and religion and unite people through the “universal language of music”. This is the roadmap with which the Coke brand builds loyalty over time.

Compared to foreign megastar endorsements, tapping the support of numerous local artists diversifies the intended consumer base and makes the product more authentic. Because of this, Coke Studio continues to expand in developing countries. In the current juncture, this is good for talent. Moreover, if record labels begin to come into their own again and start to appraise the risk of signing artists more leniently, the work that Coke Studios is doing, especially in developing nations, will help artists of all sort make a livelihood in music. This is because the object of Coca-Cola can hardly be the long-term production of talent. As an incubator, though, it may play an important role.

  There are other noteworthy ventures with music. Recently, live streaming has gained momentum, and Coke, ignited by Cody Simpson’s spontaneous live show at Copacabana Beach during Rio’s 2016 Summer Olympics, has taken to sponsor live stream events for smaller artists around the globe. 8 The company also launched a music campaign in Canada during the summer, again directed towards youth. Its motto was “Play a Coke”. It personalized logos on more than 60 million bottles with “shareable” moments such as “First Kiss,” and “Class of 2016”, and in each instance it produced a playlist consumers could access by scanning their bottle with the free “Play a Coke” app. Success is expected to breed more success, and Coke will repeat the offering in Canada this   summer. 9

Most significantly, Coca-Cola has bought an equity stake in Spotify in Nov. 2012. It has since made the streaming service an official global partner. This, of course, is all because the brand needs rejuvenation periodically among teenagers and young adults. For the first time ever, a mass consumer brand is playing the music market at the recording and distribution end. Only the major labels are in that category, for they are also invested in Spotify stock.

Coke is in the end demonstrating that today’s music’s patrons are no longer found from the ranks of players determined by sales of recorded product, concert ticket grosses, or music royalties. Today, the slogan ‘Coca-Cola refreshes you best’ should be playing well with musicians of all creeds.

Border Reorder

In today’s hyper-connected globe, the meaning of national identity is no longer rigid, and we’re seeing a dissolution of cultural borders as we travel through our devices. This shift in mentality is happening against a turbulent geopolitical backdrop as countries prioritise regional allies.

Insider Status

In a hyper-connected world, it feels like everything previously ‘insider’ is more available than ever: from behind-the-scenes access to the lives of public figures to travel experiences immersing people into worlds previously deemed unattainable.

Hipgnosis benefits from surge in music streaming

Hipgnosis, a company that buys royalty rights from musicians, has announced a large revenue rise thanks to higher rates of streaming during the pandemic. However, given that musicians have been unable to work for over a year, buying up the rights to their tunes could be seen as exploitative.

Sing to Remember

Using the power of music to awaken forgotten languages, as the world’s most global brand, coke is about bringing people together and coke studio gives artists a stage to collaborate..

With Coke Studio coming back to India after an eight year hiatus, we needed to reinvent what Coke Studio Bharat would stand for while staying true to the brand value of authenticity. Our objective was to make Coke Studio Bharat a stage for India’s unrepresented cultures and languages and build a community for them to be a part of pop culture.

Vice President Marketing, Coca-Cola India and Southwest Asia

A diverse land of 780 languages, India has actually lost 200 languages over the last two decades and risks losing more.

The reason for this linguistic erosion is under-representation in pop culture, which primarily features just Hindi due to Bollywood, India’s massive film industry, and English due to global influences.

Coca-Cola stands for authentically bringing people together and Coke Studio is about empowering artists to collaborate. With Coke Studio Bharat launching in India, we wanted to add purpose to our collaborations and give languages on the verge of being forgotten a stage to persevere.

Inspiration

After eight years, Coke Studio was making its long-awaited return to India, and this time, it was more important than ever. We needed to reach not only loyal fans but also a younger crowd who felt a strong connection to their state's culture.

For these young adults, inclusivity isn't just a trendy idea, it's about recognizing and celebrating their unique experiences and backgrounds. They want to express themselves, see their cultures represented, and keep their languages alive.

Understanding this, we decided to meet them where they spend their time – on platforms like Instagram, YouTube and MOJ. By embracing these channels, with their strong regional presence, we could authentically engage with our audience.

Music has the power to inspire culture and take languages forward. But this time we wanted to use music to celebrate and preserve India’s linguistic diversity.

To launch Coke Studio in India after eight years, we wanted to make it a stage to preserve languages on the verge of being forgotten.

We collaborated with up-and-coming Gujarati artists like Aditya Gadhvi and Achint Thakkar to create “Khalasi” – a song that not only entertained, but also served as a cultural statement.

"Khalasi" beautifully weaved together traditional Gujarati folk elements with hook-step-worthy beats that appealed to both traditionalists and contemporary audiences.

Using influencers, choreographers and singers along with the topicality of Navaratri, a nine-day Gujarati dance festival, we got a billion people to dance, sing and celebrate in Gujarati.

The "Sing to Remember" campaign featuring "Khalasi" didn't just break the internet, it made history in pop culture, surpassing English and Hindi hits on all the charts:

#1 most Shazamed song in India

#3 Spotify daily viral song in India for 90 days

#10 Spotify daily top songs in India for 3 weeks

Globally #8 on Spotify viral charts for 2 weeks

Khalasi garnered 5 billion+ views and 1 billion+ streams

Generated an estimated $50M in earned PR Value

The song was covered and the Gujarati language was mentioned in all the leading national and regional press in India including BBC , Times of India , Times Now , Republic TV , MSN , IMDb , Economic Times , Free Press Journal , India Today , Indian Express , DNA , Zee and more.

The song even graced the opening ceremony of the ICC World Cup 2023 finals and earned praise from Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi – we can't put a monetary value to that...

But the true proof of the Doodh Phak (Gujarati pudding) was getting 11.6 million people to create and post content in Gujarati, proving its cultural significance and cementing its place in the hearts of millions.

Case Study: Coca Cola – Open Happiness through Music

Coke Studio episodes are unique and captivating – bringing in musicians from all across India and International artists and creating studio sessions with musicians jamming to compositions exclusively made for the series. When Coca Cola began with this initiative, they were really up against Pepsi, which had built itself an identity that tied in considerably with the world of cricket. The Indian ethos has often been studied with the barometer of interest in cricket, Bollywood and music – and combinations of each in intriguing ways. Coca Cola found a smart way to make Bollywood and Music come together to create a huge brand strategy for itself.

What worked in the Coke Studio marketing campaign?

Content Marketing: Coke Studio could have well remained a one-way exchange by staying isolated on television. Instead, it built its audiences by sharing content that appealed to the audience through Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter – such as backstories about musicians, teasers, snippets of the episodes and the episodes itself, it built a high level of engagement. But beyond just sharing, Coke Studio also brought out a series of “FB Blogs”, where the ‘Notes’ application was put to use for a verbose exposition of each show and what it had in store for listeners.

Brand Philosophy: Coke Studio leveraged its brand philosophy right. The youth in this day and age are enterprising, adventurous and unafraid of experimenting with new and unchartered avenues. Capitalising on this, CokeStudio encouraged new bands, finding them space to showcase their skills – be it at institution-level, competitions or nation-wide talent hunts. And in the process, welcomed their audiences to interface and experiment with other bands and earned the goodwill for being a catalyst, which further strengthened their brand community.

Branding Case Study : Success of Share A Coke Campaign

Branding Case Study : Success of Share A Coke Campaign 5 min read

The “Share a Coke” campaign is a globally recognized and highly successful marketing initiative that was first launched by The Coca-Cola Company in Australia in 2011. The campaign aimed to create a more personal and engaging connection between consumers and the Coca-Cola brand by replacing its iconic logo on bottles and cans with popular individual names. The concept behind the campaign was to encourage people to share a Coke with friends, family, and loved ones, thereby fostering a sense of community and happiness.

Concept and Objectives : The Share a Coke campaign was born out of the idea that personalization could enhance brand affinity and consumer engagement. The main objectives of the campaign were to:

a. Strengthen the emotional connection between consumers and the Coca-Cola brand.

b. Encourage social sharing and word-of-mouth promotion.

c. Generate buzz and excitement around the brand.

d. Increase sales and consumption of Coca-Cola products.

Research and Preparation : Before launching the campaign, Coca-Cola conducted extensive research to identify the most popular names in each country where the campaign would be implemented. They analyzed data from various sources, including birth records, social media profiles, and public databases, to ensure that the chosen names would resonate with a wide range of consumers.

Implementation: The campaign execution involved several key elements:

a. Customized Packaging : The traditional Coca-Cola logo was replaced on bottles and cans with 150 of the most popular Australian names. This approach made the product feel more personal and encouraged consumers to seek out their own names or the names of loved ones.

b. Digital Integration : A dedicated website and social media channels were created to allow consumers to search for specific names, create virtual Coke cans, and share personalized virtual bottles with friends. This digital integration helped extend the campaign’s reach and fostered user-generated content.

c. Experiential Marketing : Coca-Cola set up kiosks and pop-up events across Australia where consumers could personalize their own Coke bottles with names or phrases of their choice. This interactive experience further strengthened the connection between the brand and its consumers.

d. Integrated Advertising : The campaign was supported by an extensive advertising and marketing campaign that included television commercials, print ads, billboards, and online advertisements. These channels helped spread awareness and created a sense of excitement around the campaign.

Packaging Variations : In addition to individual names, Coca-Cola also introduced other variations in the packaging. Some bottles featured terms like “Bestie,” “Soulmate,” and “BFF,” allowing consumers to share a Coke with their closest friends or loved ones. This broadened the appeal of the campaign beyond just individual names.

Localization and Expansion : Due to the overwhelming success of the campaign in Australia, Coca-Cola expanded the Share a Coke campaign to other countries. The localized versions of the campaign included translating names into local languages and incorporating culturally relevant names, thereby making the campaign more relatable and inclusive.

Social Media Engagement : One of the defining aspects of the Share a Coke campaign was its social media engagement strategy. Consumers were encouraged to share photos and stories related to the campaign using the hashtag #ShareACoke . This user-generated content not only amplified the reach of the campaign but also created a sense of community among consumers who were excited to see their names on Coke bottles.

Influencer Partnerships : Coca-Cola collaborated with influential celebrities and social media influencers to promote the campaign. They shared personalized Coke bottles with their followers and encouraged them to participate by sharing their own experiences with the hashtag #ShareACoke. This strategy helped to amplify the reach of the campaign and create a sense of authenticity and endorsement.

Interactive Digital Campaign : The dedicated Share a Coke website allowed consumers to search for their names or the names of others, creating virtual customized Coke bottles that could be shared on social media. This interactive element encouraged consumer participation and engagement. The website also featured a live ticker displaying the most popular names being searched, further fueling interest and curiosity.

Results and Impact : The Share a Coke campaign had a profound impact on Coca-Cola’s brand perception and sales. The campaign generated significant media coverage, with millions of impressions on social media. It resulted in a 7% increase in Coca-Cola consumption in Australia, reversing a decade-long decline in sales. The campaign’s success led to its expansion in over 80 countries, contributing to a 2% global increase in Coke volume sales .

Global Impact and Cultural Adaptation : As the campaign expanded globally, Coca-Cola localized it to suit different cultures and languages. They adapted the names and phrases used on the bottles to ensure relevance and inclusivity. For example, in China, where family names come before given names, bottles displayed family names first, followed by given names.

Legacy and Evolution : Since its initial launch, the Share a Coke campaign has evolved and continued to engage consumers worldwide. The campaign has introduced new elements, such as last names, nicknames, and personalized labels for special occasions like weddings and holidays. It has become an annual tradition for Coca-Cola, capturing the imagination and enthusiasm of consumers globally.

Awards and Recognition : The Share a Coke campaign received widespread acclaim and numerous awards in the marketing and advertising industry. It won several prestigious accolades, including the Cannes Lions Grand Prix for Creative Effectiveness, which recognized its significant impact on brand perception and sales.

Limited Editions and Collectibles : To create further excitement and anticipation, Coca-Cola released limited edition bottles and cans featuring unique designs and themes. These special editions included sports teams, holidays, and commemorative events. Collectors and fans eagerly sought out these exclusive items, leading to increased engagement and sales.

In conclusion, the Share a Coke campaign revolutionized the way brands connect with consumers. By personalizing their products and encouraging social sharing, Coca-Cola successfully tapped into the desire for individuality and created a powerful emotional bond with its consumers. The campaign’s blend of personalization, experiential marketing, digital integration, and social media engagement resulted in a marketing phenomenon that continues to resonate with consumers and inspire other brands to create more personalized experiences.
