Hippie Goes Hip-Hop
Later this month. Coke will launch a campaign to introduce its new calorie-free drink, Zero. The centerpiece of the campaign will be a remake, created by Crispin Porter + Bogusky and shot last week in Philadelphia, of the classic “Hilltop” spot which featured the famous song, “I’d Like to Buy The World A Coke” which also introduced the tagline, “It’s the Real Thing.” The new commercial is being labeled “Chilltop” and the song will be sung by G. Love.
