Give it Back relay
the idea
A 2,600 mile relay involving a single
bottle being handed off across the USA
from the Western most point to the
Spartanburg plant.

It starts with Coke employees and builds
to involve consumers.

It’s a metaphor for the journey that
Coca-Cola and the American public are
setting out on together.
How does it
 get there?
 With the help of good
         clean energy.

               Segway
Where do we go?
We travel across the USA hitting high
impact cities that have both a strong
system presence and concentrations
of concerned Americans who can
influence change:
Coca-Cola employees & bottlers
Opinion leaders
College / university students & academics
Involved mothers / heads of families
…and connect current
assets where possible
Recyclemania Colleges
Give It Back Colleges
Charlotte Live Positively Pilot
NASCAR
American Idol
LA Live
Boys & Girls Clubs of America
National Parks
Rails to Trails
Athletes (Olympic, NCAA, NBA, PGA, LPGA, etc)
Local Teams and Venues supported by Bottlers
situation
The Spartanburg plant will hold its grand
opening on January 14th. Due to this
accelerated timing, we have considered several
options for the relay.
timing
The journey is announced on January 14th, 2009 at the official ribbon
cutting. We will leverage communication and press at the Spartanburg
opening to begin spreading the word.

We kick off an online contest to recruit bottle carriers, asking Coca-Cola
employees, affiliates and partners to submit their L+ stories, including how
and where they’d like to carry the bottle.

The actual relay begins on Earth Day, April 22nd, 2009. The relay lasts 60
days, which represents the approximate amount of time it takes to
complete a bottle for bottle recycling process.

Together we steward the bottle out of the city and across the USA.
considerations
Timing a bit further away from the opening, but aligns the effort with Earth Day

Lead time allows for more planning, more markets, but is still very aggressive

Timing allows some anticipation and build between announcement and race

At launch, colleges will be finishing their school year, but we can still recruit for
bottler carriers

Q2 timing enables more outdoor events and better running conditions
Give it Back relay
market activation
Markets will be activated in varying levels, in order to
focus efforts and maximize timing and budgets.

High-Impact Cities (5)
• A celebrity figure carries the bottle
• A hand-off at an event or key location
+ Medium- & low-impact city activities

Medium-Impact Cities (6)
•  Higher-level recruitment to ensure key bottle carriers (A high-level system
  employee, an state-level opinion leader, Boys & Girls Club kids, GIB &
  Recyclemania college students)
• Advance team sets out recycling bins along the path and arranges for collection by
  municipal program or by Relay team
• Drop off team to meet with city officials to pitch recycling program/Recyclebank
  implementation
+ Plus low-impact city activities

Low-Impact Cities (6)
•   Advance PR to generate coverage by local TV/print/radio
