With the launch of the new innovation platform, Coca-Cola Creations, Coca-Cola is introducing a brand-new limited-edition drink called Starlight.
Oana Vlad, Senior Director for Global Brand Strategy at The Coca-Cola Company said, “We set out to bring that concept to life through a simple sip, capturing some of the mystery and essence of what we love about space." This beverage sets itself apart with an unexpected reddish hue and a unique flavor that highlights the brand's history in space—when Coca-Cola partnered with NASA, it became one of the first soft drinks to travel into orbit 35 years ago.
The new flavor is paired with an augmented reality Concert on a Coca-Cola, complete with bottles and cans that can be scanned for a music experience.
