Coca-Cola Consolidates Marketing For Most Of Its Well-Known Drinks, Launches New Slogan: 'Taste The Feeling'

NEW YORK (AP) — Coca-Cola, under pressure as consumers shift away from sugary drinks, is unveiling a new campaign that for the first time unites its most well-known slate of drinks under a single marketing theme.

The company announced in Paris Tuesday that the campaign, called "Taste the Feeling," will unite Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Light/Diet Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero and Coca-Cola Life. The campaign focuses on the experience of drinking any Coca-Cola and that consumers can choose whatever Coca-Cola suits their taste and lifestyle.

The campaign will launch in markets around the world this year. It will include 10 television commercials and photographs that will be used for print advertisements, billboards, in stores and online.

Shares of Coca-Cola Co. are down 2.4 percent over the year. PepsiCo is down 3.5 percent.

In 2014, a legislative committee rejected a bill that would have made California the first state in the nation to require warning labels on sodas and other sugary drinks, effectively killing the legislation.

Representatives of the beverage industry argued that his bill was unfair by not applying to other foods and drinks.
