COKE EMOJI SEEDING VIDEO V2 1
Emojis have been a part of our digital language for over two decades. This activation marks a fresh spin on their use in branding by giving life to the iconic soda emoji and filling it with the world’s favorite beverage. We are not just taking ownership, but also transforming this digital symbol into a tangible reality and placing it directly in our consumers’ hands to enjoy alongside their favorite meal.

Instead of adding to the clutter of brands pushing the emoji language, we are creating a meaningful connection to the iconic soda emoji by answering the long-awaited question: What's in the cup? Through this gamified experience, we are letting Gen Z consumers know, in their language and on their channels, what’s been in their pockets for years - an Emoji Coke.
