"Coke had become wallpaper in the US. It had a potent, latent equity that we had to release. Our job was to contemporize the brand, reinterpret it to a new generation, and make it culturally relevant."1

-Pio Schunker, senior vice president for Creative Excellence, Coca-Cola, North America, in 2009

Introduction

The company kick-started the campaign by organizing a concert in Dar es Salaam2 followed by similar events in other major towns.
