As one of the most anticipated advertisements of the Ramadan season, Coca Cola has always got a good eye for amazing campaigns such as their famous “Tomorrow Will Be Better.” and “Remove Labels” campaigns.

The ad has received 1.6 million views in its 19-day run, an impressive amount for an average brand, but not for a giant such as Coca Cola. Pepsi, in 7 days, has already received 1.9 million views overall.
Summer Campaign or Ramadan Plan B?
Pepsi’s release of their 3-way video campaign has made Coca Cola realize that they were losing this year’s classic soft drink battle. In just a week, Pepsi has managed to take over 54.3% of the total viewership between the two, as well as 61.9% engagement. To fight back against Pepsi’s obvious superior campaign ad and tactics, Coca Cola released a new ad.

The ad comes with some great copy work and casting, the “assassin” was well chosen. Viewers are able to communicate with the brand, who will in turn help them with their vacation inquires to their managers.
The ad comes with a great and easy call to action, and one that many will definitely use. Coca Cola’s attempt at redeeming itself after its subpar performance from its original ad could show us that sometimes, Plan B is better.
