Along the way, the “Happiness Ambassadors” are putting their experiences on social media by taking photos, making videos and updating Twitter and Facebook pages. The three people already visited the Vancouver Olympics and the World Cup in South Africa.

Coca-Cola and Social Media • Coca-Cola has more than 5, 000 conservations per day on social media sites • Has an Online Social Media Principles page http: //www. thecoca-colacompany. com/socialmedia/ • In April 2009, they opened a new Office of Digital Communications and Social Media

Noticed on all of these that it wasn’t about how good Coke is; people already know that. It was about reassuring people that Coca-Cola has good products. Also noticed that Coca-Cola emphasized recycling, community involvement, water conservation and climate protection on each of these social media sites.
