Coke Studio’s Spectacular Advert: “The Conductor”

The Coke Studio commercial is the premiere of Coca-Cola’s global music platform.

In Coca-Cola’s marketing and advertising strategy, the brand applies the 70-20-10 investment. This consists of allocating 70% to what is considered “low risk” content, which gives benefits. 20% goes to innovate what works and 10% to create new ideas that can be successful or die trying.

Under this investment “Coke Studio” was born in 2018 in Pakistan, Africa and the Philippines. An experiment that aimed to connect emerging talents and had 11 million subscribers on YouTube. Given the success, Coca-Cola has decided to launch this platform globally.

Ari Lennox, Griff, Ekin Beril, Mariah Angeliq, Tems, Tesher and TRI.BE. are the multifaceted artists gathered for the occasion.

According to Pratik Thakar, Director of Global Creative Strategy and Content at Coca-Cola: “Coke Studio is a direct extension of Coca-Cola’s Real Magic philosophy.
