| Coca-Cola India will propagate the new version through
a tie-up with forthcoming film (starring Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya
Rai) Kuch Na Kaho. As per the initiative, participation in
the contest would only be possible through www.myenjoyzone.com. The
winner of the contest is entitled to get a `dream date' with actress
in the movie - Aishwarya Rai.
On the re-launched version, Virtual Marketing creative director
Carlton D'Silva says: "We have created a virtual online city,
in which a surfer can walk into various buildings. For instance,
one can enter into cineplex, buy merchandise of the brand or relax
at Coke lounge where one can chat or leave message in message boards.
Similarly, there is a cricket stadium and a music store. So properties
which the Coke community can relate to have been presented in an
innovative manner."
Launched in March 2002, the content comprises music, promos, movies
and cricket and myenjoyzone basically used these key brand activation
areas for consumer interactivity. "But this initiative is going
to be a concerted effort towards enriching the experience of being
online. The experience of logging in would be totally differentiated
through virtual walking experience complemented by features."
"The earlier portal was basically HTML-based. But the new
site predominantly is going to be flash-based. It will act as one-stop
integrated marketing solution merging all the elements of the virtual
community with real-world promotions and nationwide campaigns,"
adds D'Silva.
The research conducted in order to shape the website as per the
liking of its target audience led to origination of several features
- which weren't part of the website earlier.
"For instance, the research revealed that there was need to
put up information on Coke brand. So we have interested facts about
the brand such as the original colour of Santa Claus was green but
it was Coke which resulted in the change to red and white colour,"
says D'Silva.
