Tongues, Fingers & Eyeballs to Sell Pop

Coke Zero Ads in English (Update)

— March 3, 2008 — Pop Culture
Coke put on a wild campaign in Brazil to promote Coke Zero, but getting people to pierce their tongues with the Coca-Cola brand is a little bit much for the rest of the world.

Instead, this TV spot is a little quirky, but it'll grab your attention when channel surfing. We featured it last week, but it was in Portuguese, so we thought we'd fling you the update, this time in English. It features a French, blue eyeball with spindly legs, a Californian finger which wants to know what the drink is but is bummed to find out the label isn't in braille, and two immature English tongues.

It's bizarre... just watch it! It's incredible to think how much money they invest in spots like this.

Trend Themes
1. Quirky TV Ad Campaigns - Businesses could explore creating unusual and eccentric ad campaigns to capture attention and stand out from competitors.
2. Localization of Ad Campaigns - Businesses could tailor their ad campaigns to the local market to ensure cultural appropriateness and encourage greater engagement from target audiences.
3. Trend Towards Commercial Eccentricity - Businesses could capitalize on the trend towards unconventional and eccentric commercials to craft marketing campaigns that resonate well with the younger demographics.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage Industry - Companies in the beverage industry could create offbeat and unusual ad campaigns to generate buzz and excitement around their products and attract millennials who are generally more receptive to harmless eccentricity.
2. Marketing and Advertising Industry - Businesses in the advertising and marketing sector could embrace the trend towards eccentric and engaging commercials to create an impactful campaign to establish stronger brand identity for their clients.
3. Media and Entertainment Industry - Organizations in the media and entertainment industry could incorporate unconventional and bizarre ads into their marketing strategy to disrupt traditional advertising methods and differentiate themselves from competitors.
