One Step Away from Creepy
May 8, 2009
I mean, I love Coke’s Happiness Factory spots, and I love Coke’s dedication to the feeling of their product (as opposed to Pepsi’s dedication to fitting into a specific demographic with a revolving door of logos, juxtaposed messages and awful tasting soda.)
(Full disclosure #1: I’m a Coke person. Our whole building seems to be, actually - it’s our fridge soda of choice at HenkinSchultz.)
But, come on Coke. Your new spots are original and fun, but they’re treading really close to creepy. It’s one thing to be a Flaming Lips fan. It’s another to actually be Wayne Coyne, smearing fake blood on your face during a concert and walking over the crowd in a giant bubble.
(Full disclosure #2: I do really like this spot.)

About HenkinSchultz
HenkinSchultz is an agency. An advertising and marketing and branding and design and production agency. All of those things, and then some.
But, underneath all that, we're really a bunch of thinkers. As in, we think about stuff, both pertinent and not, with and without boundaries, as if our lives depended on it. And this right here, Post Haste, is where we write about it.
