Other Considerations:
After viewing viewing The Marketing and and Strategy Strategy Insights Insights of Coca Cola’s “Happiness “Happiness Barometer Barometer 2010,” we found, these consumer insights and graphic data will be crucial in our implementation of this campaign. As we develop creatives to further our campaigns’ overall goals we will keep statistical like this in mind. This information will serve as a guiding precedent in the majority of our work.

Imagery:
Throughout this campaign, we foresee using imagery that is easily identifiable by all of our target audiences. We need to develop deliverables such as graphics and slogans that will translate well with different ethnic groups. This will be effective in reaching our goal of being applicable to all audiences, and will ensure that we are forthcoming with our intentions in this campaign. There are two specific imagery ideas that we have formulated for this campaign using preliminary research : 1.) The primary image image or visual component component to the campaign will will be of two different individuals individuals extending their Coca-Cola bottles towards each other as they ‘cheers.’ They will be strategically positioned on top of a globe that highlights each separate individuals’’ country of origin. The background will include the Coca-Cola logo and will be centered between the two individuals who are making the cheers. 2.) The primary image image or visual component component to the campaign will will be an outline of the classic, classic, glass ‘Coke’ bottle by way of using the following words; Open happiness, and positive reinforcement words that allude to happiness. It is these very words that would create the structural shape of the Coca-Cola bottle.
