Diet Coke National Brand Relaunch

In 2018, as part of its full brand relaunch in North America, Diet Coke rolled out a fresh, new integrated marketing campaign known as “because I can” to showcase the brand’s four bold new flavors, new packaging and modern design, and updated brand voice that appeals to a younger audience. The "because I can" campaign was all about doing the things in life that make you happy, no matter what anyone else thinks, because you can. As the biggest relaunch in the history of Diet Coke, the integrated campaign included media, PR, experiential, digital, social, and shopper marketing. We brought “because I can” to life through an experiential campaign that tapped into key millennial passion points of travel, music, food, style, and work, which ultimately drove more than 3.2 million samples in over 20 markets nationwide, established relevancy amongst millennials, and positioned Diet Coke as the fuel to unapologetically live your best lives.
