Yes, No? The Giant
Vending Machine

When Coca-Cola wanted to promote their iconic Zero Sugar to Gen-Z in the Nordics, they wanted something truly magical.

Building on the existing “Yes/No” global campaign, we wanted to increase app-downloads and gather votes, answering one simple question. Best Coke Ever, yes or no?

Yes, No?

To engange the Gen-z audience, we aimed for a story bursting of action and detail, as we follow a voting machine sorting yes & no votes, in a Rube Goldberg inspired world of perfectly synronized madness.

Perfectly synzronized madness.

Creating the machine was a puzzle-solving exercise featuring creative and wacky gizmos, widgets, and gadgets, which needed to be both whimsical and consistent with real-life mechanics.

The contraption needed to explode with creativity and imagination while being impossibly consistent with real-life mechanics, all while maintaining an aesthetic reminiscent of Coke Zero.

Campaign

The "Best Coke Ever?" campaign exceeded expectations and resulted in 5,144 app downloads in just 8 days, placing Denmark among the top five markets for European app downloads during the period. Additionally, 6,077 samples were distributed, and the feedback from consumers was overwhelmingly positive.
