Coca-Cola Launching 200 Country Blogger Tour

Forget flying a few high profile bloggers to your corporate headquarters to meet with executives. Coca-Cola is taking the blogger tour to a whole new level. Three bloggers, who will be chosen by online voting to begin Wednesday, will embark on a 206 country world tour to uncover “what makes people happy.” The program is part of Coca Cola’s “Open Happiness” campaign.

“It’s not about having the Coca-Cola brand first and foremost, center of the screen…It’s about telling the story that involves Coca-Cola, that involves the attributes of what Coca-Cola is about, optimism and joy,” Adam Brown, director of Coca-Cola’s Office of Digital Communications and Social Media told Forbes.

The trip is being dubbed “Expedition 206.” Coca-Cola selected the finalists but anyone can vote on who makes the final cut.

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.
