The Brief

In Romania just over 2% of the waste goes to recycling and at Christmas more packaging is consumed than at any other time of the year. This video shows how a machine can make real the children´s dreams using recycled Coca-Cola plastic bottles.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

Santa decided to write a letter and for the first time, he asked to kids for a couple of things: 1. To imagine a present that didn´t exist. 2. And join a lot of empty plastic bottles. And then, Santa settled in schools, clubs and public spaces in Romania with his singular machine.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

More than 500 toys from recycled Coca-Cola bottles were delivered. 12 schools were hit by the action. A subsequent survey of parents showed that after the action 76 percent had changed their view about recycling. The Green Santa machine is starting a road show for the 10 countries with the highest recycling problems in the world.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Because it relates the brand to the environment.
