W+K's Open Summer for Coca-Cola

The signs of summer are unmistakable. Shirt collars unbutton, covers come off of swimming pools and barbecues, and mouths open to laugh and smile. Everything and everyone feels open for warm weather and long days of sunshine. Coke already plays a role in summer fun – Wieden + Kennedy’s goal is to take it to the next level. So in 2013, they want to encourage people to close their browser, get off their computer and go outside. 
 

In W+K’s TV spot, Open Summer, a Coke bottle is opened, kicking off a beautifully shot montage of iconic summer openings, along with the joy and celebration of everyone’s favorite season. Online at cokesummer.com, users are given even more inspiration to open summer with an interactive video. Scenes throughout the video open into immersive, iconic summer moments where users can access summertime offers.
 

The campaign extends to radio, OOH and social channels, where we provide even more motivation to get outside. Enjoying summer to the fullest means having a Coke in hand, because when you open a Coke, you Open Summer.
