Diet Coke is bringing back The Hunk with a new teaser advert, we wont officially see him undressing in the full commercial until Monday January 28th, but Coke was kind enough to give us this teaser spot until then.

We don't know who the new man is yet, but if he is anything as lovely as the original Diet Coke Window Washer Hunk we first met back in the 1997 ad we should all be pleased. For your viewing pleasure ladies, Robert Merrill, aka the window washer is below.

New spot is the work of ad agency BETC, London.

Coca-Cola invites us to engage in our own random acts of happiness and kindness with a new pro-social ad campaign, "Go crazy and do good for others."

Music is the Supertramp song "Give a little bit" Written and performed by Roger Hodgson.

Coca-Cola airs a new TV commercial entitled "Coming Together" and addresses they're role in the obesity debate.

Diana Garza Ciarlante, a Coca-Cola spokeswoman told Ad Age "It's the first time we're really leaning into the conversation. We're doing it in a way that's anchored in what people expect of Coca-Cola. They expect us to be part of the dialogue, to lead where we can and to be responsive."

"Beating obesity will take action by all of us, based on one simple common-sense fact — all calories count, no matter where they come from, including Coca-Cola and everything else with calories," the voiceover says in the ad. "If you eat and drink more calories than you burn off, you'll gain weight."

Diet Coke celebrates 30 years by bringing back the sexy hunk in new "Gardener" TV spot. The new Coke hunk is Andrew Cooper, and the music is the Etta James song "I Just Want To Make Love To You." A group of women spot the "hunk" mowing the grass and one of them rolls a can of the drink towards him as part of their master plan to get our "Hunk" to remove his t-shirt...mission accomplished ladies.

Today Coca-Cola unveiled a teaser spot it calls "Mirage." The "Coke Chase" ad features three factions: badlanders, cowboys and showgirls who race through the desert in pursuit of a bottle of Coke. The commercial was created by Wieden & Kennedy, closes with a cliffhanger, as the groups realize the bottle was simply a sign. Another sign points them "50 miles ahead."

In a twist reminiscent of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, consumers will sabotage competitors and choose who wins the Coke, ultimately choosing the 30-second spot that will air post game.

Coca-Cola inventor John Pemberton is alive and well, he was discovered today with his very own YouTube channel promoting a video response to Coke's "Coming Together" spot that addresses they're role in the obesity debate (see it HERE). In the attack ad, Mr. Pemberton goes on to explain the what he claims to be truth behind coca-cola and their contribution to obesity.

Image to the channel below, and the "Honest Coca-Cola Obesity Commercial" above. I'm pretty sure this wont up for too long so share it quickly.

Watch this short trailer and see the Coca-Cola #PolarBears as you've never seen them before. The trailer is a preview to the short film featuring the beloved Polar Bears and the new Coca-Cola Polar Bears film produced by Ridley Scott.

The full 7 minute clip is below. "The Polar Bears," tells the story of the bear family that has appeared in Coke commercials since the "Always Coca-Cola" campaign first debuted in 1993. While polar bears have been part of the print ads for Coke since 1922, the campaign put the polar bears front and center and now we hear them speak to each other and learn their names in this wonderful short film.

Below, one of the 30 second ads taken from the film that will air on TV, simply entitled "Polar Bears".

Coca-Cola shows us we still have reasons to believe in a better world with the Rivalry Wallet campaign. Here's the story line: A wallet is planted in Portugal's Benfica Soccer club MegaStore, the wallet has a rival club's ticket inside and it's just days before a big match. What would you do?
It was nice to see that 95% of the people returned the wallet, and not only were they given a ticket to the game, but they were honored on the big jumbo tron.

The 2011 Coca Cola Christmas Commercial features another wonderful story line all set to Natasha Bedingfield's song "Shake Up Christmas".

Coca-Cola parks the big red trucks and goes for a giant Santa puppet in their 2012 Christmas ad campaign. Coke's "together we make the magic happen" commercial hasn't thrilled me, and it hasn't many of their loyal followers, aside from the song which is great, "Something in the Air" by Lauriana Mae, Grayson Sanders and Jono, the ad just doesn't seem to be as magical as previous Xmas commercials from Coca-Cola, like Snow Globes or last years Shake Up The Happiness that featured Natasha Bedingfield's song "Shake Up Christmas".
The music video for the Coca-Cola Christmas Song 2012 "Something in the Air" by Lauriana Mae, Grayson Sanders and Jono, below...now this we like.
