I would have loved to have been a fly in the wall when some “creatives” came up with the new Diet Coke spot - “Just do you, whatever that is...” “Diet Coke - because I can.” 🤦🏼‍♀️

This was that little paragraph manifesto write up that they did in 20 minutes. The ecd came in the room and told them they needed a launch spot idea. There you go.

I hate the spot I hate the script. I hate the cans. This industry is going down the tubes when that is good enough for Coke. phoned it in

I doubt any creatives were involved in the making of this spot. Smells of strategy and over zealous clients.

The idea is pretty cliche but I think the boring/straight execution makes the whole thing even worse

Oh so many issues...

But they are really cool looking cans.

Seriously though, it reminds me of when I had an assignment to create a product and act out an advertisement for it in the 5th grade. I was interested in art back then, not selling products, so I made a fake perfume with a hand made box and designed with cute handdrawn graphics and tons of crappy matter of fact promo copy. I didn't come up with a commercial idea, so I just read all of the weird copy on there. "It's very nice...You'll smell great...The product is French though it's name is 'Naturally'...see how I say it's name: Nat-sur-aleigh." Why did I do that? Because at the time I thought it was "because I can."

This ad reminds me of that anecdote. And thankfully that appproach died in 5th grade for me.
