Coca-Cola Cannes Lions 60th Anniversary Aluminum Bottle France 2013

LIMITED EDITION -  3000 bottles, distributed during Cannes Lions Festival 2013

The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (formerly the International Advertising Festival) is a global event for those working in advertising and related fields. The seven-day festival, incorporating the awarding of the Lions awards, is held yearly at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, France. 

Cannes, France – The Coca-Cola Company was presented with the 2013 Creative Marketer of the Year Award at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, widely considered to be the world’s foremost celebration of creative excellence in brand communications.

“We are humbled and honored to receive this honor, which has been in the making for many decades,” said Joe Tripodi, chief marketing and commercial officer, who accepted the award Saturday night on behalf of Coke’s global marketing community and agency partners around the world. “The legacy we want to leave is of a brand and company that does good things for the world  and speaks to optimism, positivity and happiness.”

Since winning its first Cannes Lion in 1967, Coca-Cola has amassed more than 120 coveted awards for work spanning multiple brands, creative disciplines and geographies. That total includes 20 awards won last week at the 2013 festival, led by  “Small World Machines,” which shows that what unites us is stronger than what sets us apart. The inspiring film claimed nearly half of the company’s 2013 Lions.

Other winners included “Share a Coke” from Australia, the “Coca-Cola Sharing Can” from Singapore, the “Million Reasons to Believe in Thailand” campaign and the “Coca-Cola FM Amplifier” print ad from Brazil.

Creative With a Conscience

Jonathan Mildenhall, VP of advertising strategy and content excellence, said “Small World Machines” in particular has the “secret formula the Cannes juries are looking for – brutal simplicity, genuine authenticity, seamless technology, an authentic product role and a strong social purpose.”

His comment mirrored the central message of his keynote co-presented on day two of the festival with Ivan Pollard, Coke’s VP of global connections. The session, titled “Work That Matters” (#workthatmatters), explored the company’s rich heritage of producing creative that makes a difference and projects a culturally relevant point of view – highlighting lesser-known work including 1955 print ads featuring an African-American model named Mary Alexander, iconic TV commercials such as “Hilltop” (1971) and “Mean Joe” (1979), to current campaigns including “Security Cameras,” “Reasons to Believe” and “Play Fanta.”

Much of this work straddles borders, challenges racial prejudice and defies gender stereotypes – all guided by a common strand of DNA. “Each of our stories is relentlessly optimistic,” Pollard explains. “We have always believed that Coca-Cola is a brand that will loudly say ‘yes’ in the face of ‘no.’ For the last 60 years, as long as Cannes Lions has been around, we have consistently backed creativity that makes a difference.”

And social purpose is not just good for the world; it’s good for business, too. As Mildenhall notes, most of the last 15 advertisers to be named Creative Marketer of the Year enjoyed, at the time, either an all-time-high share price or record-setting sales.

“I have long been a believer that outstanding creativity leads to outstanding commercial results,” he adds. “For us, business success is a result of many drivers, but you cannot deny our share price success and volume growth over the past two years.”

Mildenhall concludes, “We have all worked incredibly hard to push our own creative benchmarks. Great work is pouring out from all over our system, and the drive for creative excellence is system wide. Today is the first day of the next creative mountain we must climb.”

We heart Marc Jacobs

The fashion designer gives our packaging a sparkling new look

Diet Coke has plenty of reasons to celebrate – not only is the brand 30 this year, Marc Jacobs is also partnering with us as Diet Coke’s creative director for 2013.

"I feel very privileged to be the new creative director for Diet Coke’s 2013 campaign and put my stamp on the 30th anniversary celebration. Diet Coke is an icon... and I love an icon." Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs is one of this generation’s most influential fashion designers – and he’s brought his unique vision to the Diet Coke brand by creating a limited edition collection of gorgeous cans and bottles which launch this spring.
The trio of designs capture the fashions of the eighties, nineties and noughties. Pick the one that suits your style, or collect all three!
The cans are available nationwide from 25th February, 2013. The bottles are available at Selfridges from 12th March, 2013 and at M&S stores from April 12th while stocks last.

Marc Jacobs Named Diet Coke Creative Director

PARIS — “I think glamour and sex sells just about everything.”

So said Marc Jacobs, whose turn as Diet Coke’s new creative director for 2013 will have him stripping in a photo booth and posing in playful, pin-up-style ads.

Revealing the collaboration exclusively to WWD, Jacobs said he designed “whimsical, feminine” packaging for the soft-drink giant as it celebrates its 30th anniversary in Europe.

The first cans and bottles are slated to arrive next month in 11 European markets including the U.K., France, Benelux and Iceland. Jacobs had a hand in three cans, three bottles and three ad campaigns, each corresponding to a recent decade in fashion.

The creations, to be unveiled later this month, reference iconic looks and female empowerment from the Eighties, Nineties and Aughts, along with signature Jacobs motifs. He hinted they would incorporate fashion illustrations and repetitive prints, and confessed that he also tinkered with the Diet Coke logo.

“We wanted it to be colorful and fun,” the designer said.

Stéphane Sednaoui shot the campaigns — destined for print, outdoor and digital from mid-March — and Jacobs said he was excited to work with the photographer, having first met him at a PJ Harvey concert and long been a fan of his music videos for artists including Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Jacobs appears alongside Latvian model Ginta Lapina in the spots, which involve large pop bottles. “They’re quite cartoony,” Jacobs said.

A short film winks to Diet Coke’s popular “hunk” ads from the Nineties, recently reprised with a new commercial featuring a gardener who doffs his soda-drenched shirt and wrings it out. The film will make its debut on YouTube and Diet Coke’s Facebook page.

Famous for his rippling, tattoo-covered physique, Jacobs is depicted in the film causing a commotion in a photo booth, inviting three women to join him and share his Diet Coke moment.

“I still think it’s hysterical people want me to take my shirt off. You know, I’m going to be 50 in two months, so I guess I should be glad,” he said with a chuckle, musing, “It feels like the decade of me taking my shirt off.”

With this new project, Jacobs joins an illustrious group: Karl Lagerfeld was Diet Coke’s creative director in 2011, with madcap couturier Jean Paul Gaultier doing the honors in 2012.

“I have this thing about icons and legends,” the American designer said, listing Coca-Cola, Mickey Mouse and Louis Vuitton among them.

Jacobs is a longtime consumer of Diet Coke. In crunch time ahead of his signature show in New York on Monday, and his Vuitton show in Paris on March 6, Jacobs said he’s “pretty good about” keeping his soda intake to two or three a day. “Everything in moderation,” he teased.

Asked to account for the fact that even drink-makers turn to people like him, Jacobs replied, “It’s just another proof of people loving the power of fashion.…Designers have personalities, and their clothes have a voice and a vision, and people respond to it.”

Additional details of the “Sparkling Together for 30 Years” initiative are to be unveiled at a launch event in London on March 11, with Jacobs expected to attend. Introduced on the continent in 1983, Diet Coke has since been consumed by more than 2.7 billion people in Europe.

Marc Jacobs Reveals Collection for Diet Coke in London

The curtain drops to reveal Marc Jacobs and his three Diet Coke bottles!

It’s the 30th anniversary of Diet Coke in Europe this year and on Monday this week we held an event to celebrate our partnership with designer Marc Jacobs as creative director. Despite the freezing weather, people travelled from across Europe to London to see the first reveal of the limited edition bottles and to hear Marc discuss his inspiration for the campaign. After months of planning, it’s an exciting moment for the Diet Coke team!

We started the event by showing a film that Marc stars in for Diet Coke. In the film, three women were invited to join him on a fashion journey through the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s – the three decades since the launch of Diet Coke. After a brief pause all eyes focused on the stage and after an exciting teaser video the curtain dropped to reveal three giant versions of the bottles Marc had created for us – each inspired by a different decade – alongside the designer himself.

After a Q&A session with Marc, where he discussed his inspiration for the designs, his views on different trends and his love of Diet Coke, we had a quick look online and saw already the first mentions appearing – it’s a great feeling to see positive feedback from Diet Coke fans. At that point we switched off the laptop and enjoyed the rest of the evening – a night of food, drinks and entertainment inspired by the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s!
