Open Like Never Before

Open Like Never Before

Founded on the promise of new possibilities discovered as a result of the lockdown, the campaign encourages everyone to be ‘open, like never before’ and to appreciate what was perhaps previously taken for granted, while finding opportunities in this 'new normal' environment. 

The campaign, created and developed by 72andSunny Amsterdam, launches following a seven month pause on air, the longest ever for Coca-Cola, which saw the brand redirect resources to support relief efforts around the world. Alongside bottling partners and The Coca-Cola Foundation, The Coca-Cola Company donated more than $100m globally to organisations to support leading relief efforts. 

In Ireland, as well as donating over 900,000 drinks to those working on the front line, financial support was given to FoodCloud, which has enabled the charity to deliver the equivalent of 100,000 meals to communities in need. The company also donated advertising space to the HSE to support efforts to amplify its public information campaign and through our global supply chains, the company was able to secure much needed PPE which was donated to the HSE for use by frontline workers.

This year, Coca-Cola was off air for the longest time in history as we redirected our support to relief efforts. The Open Like Never Before campaign is founded on the belief that we don’t just have to go back to normal following this huge change in everyone’s lives. Instead, it’s our ambition to move forward and make the world not just different, but a better, more open place. 

Most importantly, we’re using our platform to support and celebrate our customers and partners, many of whom are reopening their doors to communities after a very challenging time for the industry.
