Scandalously Provocative Soda Campaigns

Coca Cola Burn Ads

— June 30, 2008 — Marketing
Coca Cola is getting sexy in its ad campaigns. Following the raunchy Coke Zero commercial, we bring you a visually enticing campaign for Coca-Cola's Burn energy drink.

Lets start with the video commercial which was done a few months back. The tag line is, "Night is unpredictable. Burn. Play with fire." It's a sexual tension game between cats and dogs. We see a group of dogs (males) hanging out while a group of ladies with cat heads approaches. The chase begins and we get a steamy moment between one of the cats and one of the dogs. Confusingly, the male dog turns out to be a cat and the female cat a dog. The chase is reversed. The point? Keep playing with fire...

The print ad campaign by Spanish agency, Caldas Naya, takes a more traditional seductive approach. We see hot guys and women dancing and partying it up. Threesome dancing? Check. Sexual poses with a smoldering female and a naked dude? Check. Bare chested guy dancing? Check. An incredibly hot lady melting the camera with an enticing look? Check. There's something for everyone.

The prints were photographed by Mike Diver & Pedro Aguilar with creative director Dave Buonaguidi, and art director Georgina Hoffmann.
