Coca-Cola Summer Blast

Coca Cola is celebrating Summer with Coca-Cola with a huge bottle fitted with an updraft designed to give swimmers the experience of a lifetime. The campaign, online at Summer Blast, includes outdoor and print advertising, “Uplift”, a feature television commercial, and an online game.

Swimmers head out through the sea to the ultimate buoy, a giant Coca Cola bottle with a fan at the bottom. Filming was shot on Koala Adventure Island in the Whitsundays. Click on the image below to play the Uplift video in YouTube (HD)

The Summer Blast Game

Players launch themselves into the air by timing the power bar to get maximum height. They are then able to steer themselves as they fly through the air with the aim of staying in the air as long as possible and scoring maximum points. Players steer themselves through the air bouncing off hot air balloons or finding up currents to gain extra air time. Collecting bottle caps and landing in a designated target area give you extra points. Users can share the game on Facebook, as well as post their scores via Facebook Connect.
