Hasta La Creative!

In case you don’t remember Chris de Burgh’s 1986 tune “Lady in Red” (which made American Psycho Patrick Bateman swoon back in the day), it serves as the centerpiece for a new spot from WE ARE Pi Amsterdam for soft-drink giant Coca-Cola.

The Dutch-based campaign features a hipster who goes from EDM to emotional for mom and continues Coke’s “happiness” mantra in a matter of 30 seconds in order to celebrate everyday moments with family. At the very least, it makes us wax nostalgic for a moment.

In a statement, Coke senior brand activation manager Jeroen Lampe says:

“We are very excited about this new launch and believe that the campaign, delivering a functional message in a very compelling and engaging way, is going to help consumers understand the added value of this new pack.”

New packaging equals added value. Got it.
