The Coca-coca Company has launched its first global campaign to group all Coke brands including Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Light,Diet Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero and Coca-Cola Life under one global creative campaign dubbed “Taste the Feeling.”
Zambia’s Radio and Television Broadcaster,Mandela Washington fellow, Global shaper and Co-founder of Kwatu ,Patience Chisanga, was one of the Media entrepreneurs from across the world invited to attend this exclusive event that took place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. During the exclusive media launch campaign Nathan Kalumbu ( President of The Coca cola Company Eurasia and Africa) said the campaign was not just a global campaign but a new approach to building the Coca cola Brand and achieving this as a company means we need to be locally relevant.
“Completely blown away by Coca-Cola ‘s new global marketing strategy, utterly out of words. I guess this is as per tradition of the World’s most recognizable brand. What a way to start the year, extremely grateful for this opportunity. Certainly learnt not one thing but a lot of principles about successful global marketing and community engagement. Really looking forward to the Global roll out of this new Journey ‘Taste the feeling campaign’, and being a part of it. Simple and basic yet a very powerful and honest campaign. It was a great pleasure meeting and interacting with Media entrepreneurs from around the world and some of the Coca-Cola Company’s global marketing leaders including Nathan Kalumbu President Eurasia and Africa Group, Chief Marketing Officer Marcos de Quinto and Rodolfo Echeverria Vice President Creative connections and Digital. The new adverts are so simple, meaningful and relatable. I have no doubt the world will be blown away by the honesty and truth in this campaign” says Patience Chisanga.
The “Taste the Feeling”, is Coke’s first new global advertising campaign in seven years which celebrates the idea that drinking a Coca-Cola – any Coca-Cola – is a simple pleasure that makes everyday moments more special. We are so excited that one of our Zambian media personalities could give us an inside scoop of her highlights.

“What is a Coca-Cola For?”

This spot begins in a restaurant on a hot day, with a young man ordering a Coca-Cola at the bar. While the bartender hands the Coke to him, we see a series of vignettes that represent why would he have a Coca-Cola.
