Coca Cola On Facebook

Coca Cola has grown significantly since being invented in 1886, producing over 3000 products under 500 brand names sold in 206 countries by 2010. The company realized that while developing iconic broadcast content was important for building its brand identity globally, online media had evolved and a new content strategy was needed. In 2006, a viral video of experiments dropping Mentos into Diet Coke received over 2 million views in nine days, generating $10 million in free publicity for Mentos. Coca Cola initially responded cautiously but later partnered with the video creators to produce a sequel on Google Video, significantly increasing sales and traffic.
