Inspiration Branding
Marketing at its finest makes us see things differently; to see potential in little things and find hope in the ordinary. Coca-Cola always does an amazing job painting a picture of a united world where all we need is a "Coke and a smile." We're used to the images of joyous children from every nation loving their soda and making us want to "buy the world a Coke." Of course, such unity doesn't exist today, but Coke sells an idea, an inspiration of the POTENTIAL of living in such a world.
I know I'm being "sold" when I see the story unfold in the video below, but I don't mind. I've seen enough product being pushed by actors, athletes, and celebrities to last a lifetime. I appreciate a different perspective.
I hope you enjoy the inspiration too.
This makes me want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony!
