Coca-Cola’s “Open Happiness” Campaign Is Using Social Media


Coca-Cola is taking an interesting and bold approach towards social media and is using it to engage its supporters worldwide. The soft drink giant will be sending three bloggers to more than 200 countries in a year to find out what makes people happy as part of their “Open Happiness” campaign.

It’s all part of Coca-Cola’s Expedition 206 - www.expedition206.com. As of today there are only 11 days left to vote for your favorite team to have the privilege to travel the world to 206 countries within 365 days in 2010 where Coca-Cola is sold.
Adam Brown, director of Coca-Cola’s Office of Digital Communications and Social Media explains: “It’s about telling the story that involves Coca-Cola, that involves the attributes of what Coca-Cola is about, optimism and joy.”

To top it all off Coca-Cola will cover the bloggers’ travel expenses and plus pay them a salary. The bloggers will go from country to country in record speed and blog about their experiences. As Coca-Cola consumers you have the opportunity to suggest a to-do-list for the bloggers to check as the expedition unfolds.

I hope my favorite wins!


Now thru November 6, fans can visit expedition206.com and vote for which team of Ambassadors will get the chance to take this unbelievable trip!
