Problem
Coca-Cola was starting to be seen as an old, out-of-touch brand.
Insight
Back in 2012, second-screen viewing was an emerging behavior among young Americans, so we took advantage of it during one of the biggest first screen moments of the year to prove just how innovative and modern the historic brand could be.
Solution
Using the Polar Bears, we made Coke cool again with an award-winning digital execution: the bears reacting live to the game right along with America. Based on the insight, we streamed a video feed of the Polar Bears’ reactions to the Super Bowl at CokePolarBowl.com where users could watch and interact with the bears during the game.
Results
The second-screen experience was viewed by over 9 million users who engaged with the live stream for an average of 28 minutes on CokePolarBowl.com. On Twitter, Coca-Cola led all other advertisers with over 66,000 mentions during the game. Overall, brand buzz volume for Coke grew by a remarkable 2,067% versus last year's Super Bowl.
