Brands like coca-cola have survived and remained relevant all these years because they do not tip toe around challenges.I feel they have always made it their game plan to ‘barge’ into peoples households by adopting to the new way people are consuming media.Their consistent strategy of making use of the consumers by diverting their indulgence and loyalty in the brand from a mass distribution into that ‘personal’ marketing by featuring their customers in their ads,a way of humanising the brand thus letting the customers tell their stories and not make it into just another marketing spin.One of these interesting examples is on this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISuMZmKkGCE which was called the coca-cola ‘smile back’ campaign,though such campaigns literally pushed consumption of the brand itself but most importantly they encouraged people from all walks of life to simply be more humane with each other.Here’s another campaign they did below.
