Coke is a brand renowned for its marketing campaigns over the years and more recently was able to extend the reach and level of engagement with one of its more successful campaigns in South Africa, with a digital execution across the country\u2019s airports, in partnership with Airport Ads\u00ae.<\/p>\n

The campaign in question was the popular \u2018Share a Coke\u2019 campaign \u2013 famous for replacing \u2018Coca-Cola<\/a>\u2019 on one side of the bottle\/can with a person\u2019s name – with the latest iteration in South Africa going a step further, adding pronunciation guides to the South African first names published on the cans or bottles. It was an attempt at \u2018nation building\u2019, but also to encourage consumers to \u2018share a Coke\u2019 with the person in question.\"Coke<\/p>\n

This national campaign ran across digital screens on airport.tv\u00ae<\/a> at all 12 airports and on the Visionet™<\/a> screens at Lanseria International Airport in Johannesburg and King Shaka International Airport in Durban.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this way, Coke took a well-known campaign and successfully \u2018reworked\u2019 it for digital out of home within the airport environment, taking advantage of the high dwell times in areas such as the luggage collection area and the boarding waiting section and gates, along with the prime locations it enjoyed on Visionet at Lanseria and King Shaka International,\u201d says Mzi Deliwe, Deputy CEO of PMG and Head of Airport Ads.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that brand awareness was one of the main objectives, but also to drive a purchasing decision, with the obvious goal of encouraging consumers to buy a can or bottle of Coke from the nearest outlet.<\/p>\n

\"Share<\/p>\n

\u201cAdvertising in the airport environment has become a key element within the marketing mix aimed at the upper income bracket,\u201d says Deliwe. \u201cAnd, concurrent with other OOH environments, digital out of home has become increasingly popular within airport precincts. The global trend towards making use of this highly effective advertising medium points to its relevance, immediacy and high levels of recall. It reaches travellers poised to engage with, and purchase, products and services that are significant to their lifestyle.” \"Lanseria<\/p>\n

Airport.tv\u00ae is a digital place-based television network located in major airports in South Africa and further into Africa, whilst Visionet™ is a large format digital platform, which affords maximum, high-quality, high-impact exposure for advertisers wanting to communicate with a highly desirable upper LSM market at King Shaka International and Lanseria International Airport.<\/p>\n

These platforms combined made for a compelling proposition when Coke was looking to extend the reach of this renowned campaign and take it into an environment that would offer opportunities to engage with large numbers of consumers over a sustained period \u2013 a solution that Airport Ads\u00ae was able to deliver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
