"Throughout its history, Coca-Cola has always tried to express a refreshingly positive view of the world. Open Happiness builds on that heritage, recognizing that even with the difficulties and stress of modern-day life there still are opportunities, every day, to find a moment to recognize life's simple pleasures. This new campaign reminds people that Coke is always there to offer that small moment of fun and refreshment when you need it." 1

- Joe Tripodi (Tripodi), chief marketing and commercial leadership officer, The Coca-Cola Company, in 2009.

Introduction

On January 21, 2009, Atlanta-based beverage giant The Coca-Cola Company (Coca-Cola Company) launched a global integrated advertising campaign called "Open Happiness" for its iconic drink Coke. The campaign was planned to be an extension of Coca-Cola's earlier campaign "Coke Side of Life," introduced in 2006. The idea behind the "Open Happiness" campaign was "Enjoying life's simple pleasures". Commenting on the campaign, Joe Tripodi (Tripodi), chief marketing and commercial leadership officer, Coca-Cola Company, said, "It's really a statement about the little simple joys. Our brand isn't here to solve world peace or fix the economy. We represent a small moment or small pleasure in a sometimes very stressful or difficult day for people."2
