Coca-Cola transforms everyday moments into uplifting ones in new campaign via Ogilvy Sydney
Coca-Cola Australia has rolled out its new campaign “Turn Up Your Break” this week via Ogilvy Sydney. The campaign will be led by a TVC that encourages people to truly pause with a Coke on their break so they can walk away feeling refreshed and uplifted.
The TVC features two busy chefs stepping outside for a break, the bustling kitchen behind them, as one hands the other an icy-cold Coke. The scene continues with the iconic “KSHHHH” sound of a bottle of Coke being opened and with every sip the chefs get an instant hit of refreshment. As the playful music kicks in, the chefs mimic a delivery van with a collection of ‘lucky cats’ and start dancing.
Says Kate Miller, marketing director – Australia, Coca-Cola: “We are very excited about this campaign because it takes a look at how the iconic experience of a Coke can leave you feeling uplifted and refreshed, whether that’s with a Coke No Sugar or Coke Classic.
“Coca-Cola first introduced “The Pause That Refreshes” slogan more than 80 years ago and this campaign is the cornerstone of that. We know people lead busy lives and we are reminding them to take a step back and have a break for themselves.
“We hope this campaign will inspire people to refresh and lift their mood with an icy-cold Coke while they are enjoying a well-deserved break.”
The campaign is being supported by an integrated marketing campaign across social media, online video, screens, cinema, out-of-home, digital audio and connected TV.

I thought they took the cocaine out in 1929?
Why disregard human truth and instead force a situation that no human would EVER do. It means it feels… forced. Also ‘lucky cats’ was JUST done guys… https://cb.thesitefactory.com.au/a-lucky-cat-takes-a-nut-fuelled-voyage-of-self-discovery-in-lucky-nuts-tvc-via-saatchi-saatchi/
somewhere, but seems like it got lost in the weird hi-energy hackiness of it all.
Also anyone else find it weird they cast a white guy as the lead in a spot about kitchen workers at a Chinese restaurant who dance with Chinese cats?
Chef’s going out for a cheeky pick-me-up, but the vessel usually looks a little different than a glass bottle. Lovely execution though!
Doritos did it better https://vimeo.com/254657864
Did they twist off the non twist off caps?
This product makes me dance.
No. Stop. Please.
Has product. Must dance.
Cheeseballness level 10
Wasted opportunity
