Coca-Cola Pours Happiness All over the Internet

The Internet is what we make it, and Coca-Cola hopes to inspire
people to show more positivity in their online actions. Tonight,
with a little bit of Coca-Cola, the Internet may, at least for a
little while, become a happier, more positive place.
During the second quarter of the game, Coca-Cola premiered a
60-second advertisement titled “#MakeItHappy.” The ad featured a
unique spin on the importance of creating more positivity on the
World Wide Web, highlighting inspiring moments of optimism in the
face of online negativity. Through the ad, Coca-Cola asked people
to stand together in support of one of its core values: spreading
happiness.
“Many of us have seen or felt the effects of online negativity,
and it’s a concern that only continues to grow within society,”
said Andy McMillin, VP and GM, Coca-Cola Trademark Brands.
“Advertising during the Big Game broadcast offers a huge
opportunity to drive awareness around the topic and, more
important, to encourage people to be more positive in their online
actions.”
The spot opens with a student being mocked on video by
classmates, negative comments being read on social media, and terse
words and reactions shared from behind a screen. The scenes gave
way to an Internet server room, where a precariously placed bottle
of ice-cold Coca-Cola spilled into the mainframe, sending a massive
liquid glitch that spreads happiness into the neighborhoods and
cityscapes outside. Set to the song “Show Me Love” by Hundred
Waters, the spot followed the happiness glitch as it entered
routers, laptops and mobile phones, turning messages of negativity
to ones of uplift and positivity.
As the spot faded to “The world is what we make it,” Coca-Cola
initiated a series of steps designed to immediately help bring some
positivity to the Internet and inspire others to do the same.
- After the airing of the ad, Coca-Cola
encouraged people to upload happiness to the places that need it
most. On Twitter, users can change negative messages into something
happier by replying to a negative tweet with the hashtag
#MakeItHappy. When they do, they can witness positivity unfold as
the original tweet is transformed into ASCII art, a cheerful bit of
online artwork with visual happiness
- Instagram users can join the “Smile
Petition” in support of Coca-Cola’s message by posting a photo of
themselves smiling while making a hashtag hand sign and including
“#MakeItHappy” in the caption. Select images and messages will be
aggregated on GoMakeItHappy.com following the Big Game.
- A digital spill, timed to begin as the
ad concludes in broadcast, spread through the Internet via mobile
and other digital devices, prompting people around the country to
visit GoMakeItHappy.com.
“We can’t solve negativity on the Internet, but we can use the
world’s biggest advertising stage to ask people to think twice
before posting negative messages and images,” said Jennifer Healan,
Coca-Cola’s group director of integrated marketing content. “We
hoped to inspire Americans to help make the Internet a more
inclusive, happier place.”
“#MakeItHappy” and its message of positivity will continue after
the Game’s final whistle. Additionally, a fifth and final story
extension has been created, entitled “Empowerment,” and is
available on YouTube and other Coca-Cola social channels.
Earlier this week, Coca-Cola released seven pieces of original
content, shining a light on the negativity many experience across
the Internet and the Company’s belief in the growing need for
positive, uplifting change online and on social media. The teaser
ads and vignettes are available on YouTube and other Coca-Cola
social channels.
Together, DoSomething.org and Coca-Cola are mobilizing
DoSomething.org’s community of over 3-million young people to help
spread the importance of Coca-Cola’s message to help make the
internet a happier place.
This is the ninth consecutive year Coca-Cola commercials will
appear during the Big Game broadcast. Coca-Cola worked with Wieden
+ Kennedy in Portland, Ore., to create “Make It Happy.”
