W+K wins Coca Cola

27.10.2005 |

W+K Portland won the US Coca-Cola business (full calorie, red can Coke) last week. W+K has also been pitching for the global Coca-Cola assignment. This pitch was led out of our Amsterdam office. And yesterday we heard the news that we have won this pitch as well. This is a huge victory for Amsterdam and a great accomplishment for the office's new leadership team.<br/><br/>Coca-Cola was looking for a global positioning and a<br/>global creative umbrella for the Coke brand. They will<br/>use this positioning and creative umbrella in working<br/>with their countries/their local agencies around the<br/>world. Our Amsterdam office is likely to be assigned<br/>some specific global tasks (brand work, product work,<br/>Olympics, World Cup), but we will not take full agency<br/>responsibility for each and every individual country<br/>around the world. <br/><br/>All in all - a great win for Amsterdam and a great win for<br/>the W+K network. We'll be sinking a few Cokes to<br/>celebrate.
