I denne uge sagde Coca-Cola officielt farvel til Open Happiness-platformen, og lancerede i stedet Taste the Feeling.
Den nye platform markerer vejen mod læskedrikkens kerne-DNA og et øget fokus på produktet.
Når et af klodens mest markante brands og annoncører skifter spor, er det en nyhed – og dén type nyheder har Coca-Cola leveret støt gennem årene.
Det er nemlig blevet til 46 slogans på 130 år.
AdAge bringer listen over samtlige slogans, og heraf kan man se, at Open Happiness nåede op blandt de længstlevende i koncernens historie.
Den første, Delicious and Refreshing fra 1886, holdt i 18 år, mens Good to the Last Drop levede i 10 år, fra 1907 til 1917. I de følgende 7 årtier steg udskiftnings-hastigheden, og vi skal frem til nyere tid for finde tredjepladsen, som deles af to slogans – hver med en levetid på 7 år. Udover Open Happiness drejer det sig om Always Coca-Cola, der blev markedsført i perioden 1993-2000.
