‘Share a Coke’ transforms the global Coca-Cola brand into a special, personal experience for our consumers.” said Patricia Jemibewon, Marketing Director, Coca-Cola Nigeria Limited. “By swapping our iconic Coca-Cola logo with personal names, we give all our consumers a unique opportunity to connect and share their personalized Coke with the people who matter the most to them- friends, family and loved ones, either in person, or virtually”, she said.

Giving more details about the initiaitve, Jemibewon further disclosed that the “Share a Coke” campaign recognises Nigeria’s culture and diversity as 600 popular names have been selected from the rich array of names across the various regions of Nigeria.

“Share a Coke does not only reinforce our ongoing commitment to refresh the world but also to inspire shared moments of optimism and happiness”, Jemibewon concluded.

From 10 January, consumers will be able to buy personalised Coke in glass, can and PET from retail outlets across the country. Consumers who are unable to find their names in-store will have the chance to create their own personalised Coke during the nationwide activation which commences on 2 February 2015.
