FIFA World Cup™ activity for Coke goes live.

Beautiful game. Beautiful site.

After months of love, determination, exhaustion and pixel pushing, our Coke FIFA World Cup™ digital activity on Coke Zone has gone live.

The work builds on the creative we produced in support of Coke’s FIFA World Cup™ Trophy Tour, which visited 83 countries in 225 days, giving football fans all over the globe the chance to see the real, solid-gold trophy up close.

It’s been a massive project for Coke and Carlson Marketing – here’s why:

• It’s the first time a substantial brand activity has been seamlessly integrated with Coke Zone rewards.
• It’s the first time rewards data has been pulled dynamically into a custom piece of work. Mmm… geeky.
• It’s the first time a Coke Brand Experience has run a frequency driver.

All in all, the boys done good. Now it’s down to Wayne Rooney and England to make it a perfect summer.

Carlson Marketing’s got talent… as Izzy Szydelko wins top UK.

Since her arrival earlier in the year, Client Accountant Izzy Szydelko has brought some much-needed glamour to the Finance department.

And now she’s danced her way to the title of UK Modern Jive Champion 2010, after a full day of competing in the plush surroundings of Blackpool’s Tower Ballroom.

For those not in the know, modern jive is the UK’s biggest partner dance, incorporating elements of swing, latin and salsa – with more kicks and flicks than Diego Maradona on speed.

So if, like most of us, you have to be steaming drunk to go anywhere near a dance floor (before going on to execute a series of ill-advised moves that resemble a gibbon having a seizure), you’ll appreciate what an impressive achievement this is. Nice moves Izzy!

It’s a Fairy Tale beginning for Pink.

Rising star Kerri-Anne Pink is certainly making a name for herself – being featured in online and offline art publications across the net for her stunning photography. Working at Carlson Marketing during the day on one of our largest UK loyalty clients, Kerri-Anne’s real passion is photography with a fairytale theme.

Get more bang for your beans – with our Experiential Team.

Take one deliciously smooth celebrity chef, add a fruity Carlson Marketing Experiential team, stir in a bunch of hand-picked coffee lovers and what have you got?

A fantastic new experience where NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto owners and their friends can help us spread the word about ‘coffee shop quality at home’.

May 8th saw the last in the first series of our NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto club events. We treated Newcastle’s coffee lovers to a caffeine-fuelled extravaganza, hosted by Ainsley Harriott and NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto. The event took place at Newcastle’s swanky Living Room, in the heart of the city.

Ainsley met a selection of NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Club members and demonstrated some of his own coffee-inspired recipes, including Tiramisu, Lemon & Almond Biscotti as well as scrumptious Pancakes with Blueberry Compote. Mmm… compote.

The event also featured coffee mixology sessions – giving guests the chance to have their tastebuds tickled with unusual coffee combinations like Caribbean Macchiato Magic and many more.

With our professional Barista on hand to impart his coffee knowledge on the attendees too, everyone was in for a real treat!

Our Experiential team more than delivered under pressure (15 bars to be precise) with a 99% positive feedback rate from all attendees at all 3 events!

Carlson Marketing and Coke Zone bag hat-trick of ISP Golds.

It was another big night for Carlson Marketing and Coca-Cola at the 2010 ISP Awards. Our digital loyalty programme, Coke Zone, scooped two prestigious Gold awards: Best Digital Promotion (multi-platform) and best Long Term Relationship Marketing, while Coca-Coca picked up the Gold for Brand Owner of the Year.

The team celebrated in the appropriate fashion, by putting away a fair few bottles of the finest fizzy stuff. Hic!
