Coke takes a chant

Coke wanted an opportunity to engage with football fans in Brazil during the 2010 World Cup - and to that end identified one of the few remaining areas that have not been sold as sponsorship inventory: The football chant.

By taking the customary 'goal' shout, cried by commentators and fans at the crucial moment when a ball hit the back of the net, Coca-Cola was able to link the brand to a moment of celebration for football fans.

Using the five note refrain from the unofficial, but incredibly well known World Cup-related song Wavin' Flag by K'naan, Coke tweaked the way the 'goal' moment was used on TV and in the stadiums.
