COCA-COLA / SOCIAL STRATEGY

The Ask: Coca-Cola had centralized its social media ops under one North American Social Center to manage social media marketing. The team consists of a staff of around 55, including in-house marketers from Coca-Cola and social specialists from Havas to handle everything from social listening and analytics to  community management to content strategy and creation for all Coca-Cola brands.

My Role: Independently directed strategic planning for Coca-Cola’s social channels, including creating social strategies that were leveled up into national integrated campaigns, writing the brand's "social playbook," and regular presentations to the Coke brand marketing team.

The Outcome: 

  • Doubled paid and organic engagement on Twitter, Coke’s strongest platform historically, compared to the previous year.

  • Lifted content above benchmark levels across Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for every paid campaign since January (Millennial Meals, Teen Meals, and Coca-Cola Life).

  • The Teen Meals campaign produced the strongest body of work in the Social Center’s history.

  • Led to a continued increase in followers on IG (+14.1%, 250K followers) and TW (+1.6%, 52K followers). Slowed the loss of fans on FB to a third of the rate prior to Social Center.
