Share a Coke Rolls Out in the Philippines: Your Name on a Bottle

Yep! Coca-Cola does it again! Such a marketing genius.
Currently on a debranding campaign, Coca-cola is swapping its iconic logo with your name, and they got even more names and even more ways to share! You can now get on a first-name basis with their bottle of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Coke Zero. To be honest, this clever campaign puts a modern, youthful twist on the brand’s 128-year legacy of bringing people together and making them feel special.


I attended the "Share a Coke" launch today at the SM Megamall’s Fashion Hall wherein Coca-Cola Philippines invited everyone to Share a Coke with each other. The phenomenal Coca-Cola campaign that has taken over 50 nations by storm is finally in the Philippines.

With more than a thousand names to choose from, there are more chances than ever to find yours. Coca-Cola has released the most popular Pinoy nicknames, terms of endearment like Babe and Pangga, and group names on personalized Coca-Cola products for a more fun and personal way of sharing a Coke.

Jasmin Vinculado, Marketing Director of Coca-Cola Philippines, who also headed the first ever Share a Coke campaign in Australia, led the celebration at the Mega Fashion Hall in SM Megamall. Staying true to the essence of Share a Coke, Vinculado, on behalf of Coca-Cola, shared a Coke with Ben Chan, Chairman and CEO of Bench to show the company’s appreciation for all the years they have worked together.

“We brought Share A Coke to the Philippines with one goal – to share happiness. Sharing a Coke is a simple yet fun and exciting way for us Filipinos to be able to show our appreciation to people who make us happy. For mothers who cook our breakfasts every day, for the fathers who drop off their children to school every morning, for the friends who listen to our never-ending problems, for the manang who serves our food in the cafeteria, for the manong who opens the door for us and wishes us a great day with his bright smile, for everyone who has shown us kindness—we would like to share a Coke with them simply because we know that happiness is made more real when shared.”Vinculado enthuses.

Among the event’s highlights was a fashion show and a celebration of the long-standing partnership between Coca-Cola and the country’s leading teen clothing brand Bench/.

Check out video I've posted on Instagram here.

Coca-Cola Happiness Ambassadors Joseph Marco, Julia Montes, and Enchong Dee gave the audience a blast by sharing personalized Coke cans bearing terms of endearment “Crush,” “Hottie,” and “Love” to some unsuspecting guests.


The message of the event was simple: Sharing a Coke is a simple yet personal way to show appreciation for people who make you happy. It inspired me to show gratitude for even the small, everyday gestures that otherwise go unnoticed, like how my friends “Jen” and "Rochelle" make my life more fun and exciting, and how they became more like sisters to me. Indeed, enjoying a Coke with my name on it and sharing the occasion with them makes these moments even more special.


True or False: The best way to spread the love and happiness is to share a Coke with someone special. I can't think of a better way to say "I love you" than with a Coca-Cola.  So I would gladly love to share a coke with my honey. :)
