world where the kit could be seen before
official ‘on sale’ dates. We enlisted the
networking and chatter power of 259 of
the nations cabbies to spread the word
and increase footfall to these special

Exposure has enjoyed a long standing
relationship with Coca-Cola as the
brand’s NWEN/UK strategic
communications and brand experience
agency for more than ten years.
OBJECTIVE
Make Diet Coke relevant to its audience
in a fresh and innovative way using an
iconic piece of everyday design – the
classic Coca-Cola glass bottle. What we
did was create a groundbreaking
campaign that was so successful it
continues to this day.
STRATEGY
As the first collaboration of its kind we
proposed fashion as a platform to create
relevant connections between Coca-
Cola’s calorie free market leader, Diet
Coke, and a new generation of
consumers. A strategy that has been
copied by brands around the world over
the last decade.

British fashion designer to interpret the
spirit of the Coca-Cola brand in a fresh,
vibrant and exciting way, recruiting a
young unknown post-grad from Central

Matthew Williamson. His now-famous
Coca-Cola bottle collaboration formed
the basis for and on going Diet Coke
fashion platform featuring collaborations
with the likes of Manolo Blahnik, Roberto
Cavalli and even Ugly Betty.

in mainstream retail outlets. Karl’s
success was soon followed with a Jean
Paul Gaultier collaboration across
Europe.
