DIET COKE LAUNCHES NEW GLOBAL CAMPAIGN ‘LOVE WHAT YOU LOVE’

• Supported by an exclusive London Fashion Week on-pack partnership in Great Britain

• Campaign features TV, Out-of-home and digital advertising

London, 14 March: Diet Coke announces the launch of a new campaign, ‘Love What You Love’. The integrated marketing campaign celebrates individuals that embrace a positive, unapologetic attitude, by knowing who they are and what they love, staying true to doing things their own way.

Brought to life with a new creative, the campaign includes a new TV advert, as well as an exclusive London Fashion Week on-pack partnership in GB, because loving what you love is always in fashion.

New TV advert

Hitting screens on 14 March, the ‘Love What You Love’ advert shines a light on one woman’s rush hour journey and her conviction to transform her hectic post-work commute with the pure joy of roller skating.

The lead character puts on a pair of roller skates, takes a sip of Diet Coke for a refreshing break, and is then transported from a bustling street into a fantasy world. As the cover of the timeless track, “It’s Oh So Quiet” plays in the background, the street empties of the hustle and bustle and her passion for roller skating takes her to new heights.  See more here https://youtu.be/V5CsMJ1EsqQ

Out-of-home advertising

The ‘Love What You Love’ out-of-home advertising - which will feature across GB - is a fun representation of a handful of loyal fans and their passion for self-expression. The simple, yet impactful concept, showcases the hands of style-enthusiasts holding an iconic Diet Coke can. From bedazzling nails and gold-accessories to vintage styling, it instantly tells a story of people who clearly, and unapologetically, love what they love. 

Martin Attock, VP Commercial Development at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners highlighted: “With a 55% share of zero sugar Cola sales in GB[1] and sales growing by 5% year on year[2],  Diet Coke and Coca-Cola zero sugar continue to be firm favourites with shoppers.  The Diet Coke ‘Love What You Love’ campaign is the first piece of activity which will help us celebrate 40 years of this iconic brand, delivering strong activation in store for our customers to help drive sales whilst rewarding loyal fans of Diet Coke .”
