The Ultimate Search for Happiness
Coca-Cola, who has the most “liked” Facebook page out there, finished up another monstrous social media project December 29, 2010. Three lucky 20-somethings started traveling the world in January 2010, attempting to visit all 206 countries and territories where Coca-Cola is sold.
The main goal was to blog, tweet, post, picture and record their journey to find happiness. If you haven’t turned on a TV in the last year, “open happiness” has been their slogan. In 365 days they were able to visit 186 of the 206 countries they aimed for and traveled more than 273,000 miles.
Coca-Cola was pleased with the global results of this promotion and found that it really brought the individual public relations departments around the world together! Check out stories from Tony, Kelly and Tono’s amazing year on the road!
AT&T Really Knew What Was Up
If you have an iPhone then you’ve probably complained at least once (a day) about AT&T’s shoddy service. They may not have perfected cell phone service for 3G and 4G users, but in the 1990,s they really had an eye for the future. You have to see these commercials featuring Tom Selleck on the future of technology! It really blew my mind!
