This new RC Cola campaign has been launched by the brand as its first in 40 years to help reinvigorate interest and give it a humorous edge over the competition. The campaign is paired with the tagline, "Not a soft drink. Just damn good cola." as part of the brand's embrace of its confidence as a big market player in regions like Chicago. The campaign's first poster features a hair-covered man with the title, "Puts hair on your chest and back." as a way to grab consumer attention using a blend of humor and weirdness.
The RC Cola campaign will also be paired with a number of endeavors in the Chicago area including out-of-home placements, retail activations, geo-targeted ads on streaming platforms and more.
