Coca Cola

Tết (Lunar New Year), is the most celebrated holiday in Vietnam. It's a time for sharing good fortune, happiness and new years wishes with family and friends. Coca-Cola is widely consumed during this festive season. The core objective of these cans was to spread Tết appreciation with Coca-Cola.

We got to work creating a series of Coca-Cola cans to spread millions of Tết wishes nationwide. We utilized Coca-Cola's adopted Tết symbol (the Swallow Bird) as a device to form these wishes. For each can, hundreds of hand-drawn swallows were crafted and carefully arranged around a custom script, which together form a series of meaningful Vietnamese wishes. "An"means Peace. "Tài'' means Success, "Lộc" means Prosperity. These words are widely exchanged throughout the holiday, and traditionally adorn Tết decorations. Millions of "Tết wishes" were spread throughout the country and shared by people of all ages. The simple act of sharing a Coke was transformed into a meaningful gesture. Sellers from supermarkets and small street side shops took pride in decorating their shelves with Coca-Cola, as points of sale around the nation became festive environments. Suddenly, Coca-Cola was a reminder and a carrier of the fundamental spirit of the holiday.
