Coca Cola’s “open the happy can” or “smiles back at you” print ad or advertising campaign was originally launched in one crowded street of Milan, Italy and even in Rome. It has been a long and hard year for Italy because they are experiencing political crisis, religious upheaval and recession, that is why McCann and Coca-Cola came up with the idea of bring the smile back on the lips of the people living there, they thought of, how does it feel if you open a can of coke and it smiles at you, it would definitely and automatically bring smile on your lips as well for sure.
The Coke advertising campaign posses the four qualities to make the advertisement effective, it attracts the attention of the passer-by’s, arouses interest, creates desire and causes action. The campaign attracts the attention of the passer-by’s because it is located in the crowded place of the city and launched it on the market day or the day when the people are scheduled to visit the market. It easily catch the attention of the people because aside from having a big size the advertisement itself is very attractive because it is an open can smiling before them, a smiling can that smiles to every person crossing the street and brighten their day. It arouses their interest because it just new to their sight, it is very unique in the sense that the product is aware of what they are currently experiencing that is why it is trying its best to lessen the stress that they are feeling. It arouses the interest of the people because they are curious as to how did they came up with such brilliant idea. It creates desire because the people of Italy are very desperate to have something that will lessen the stress and heavy feeling that they are experiencing or should I just say they are desperate to have a stress reliever even in just a short period of time. It definitely leads to causes action of purchasing the product because what the campaign is implying is that they shouldn’t let themselves suffer or burden themselves on the stress and problems that they keep on encountering, they must think on the brighter side of life because there is always a reason to smile. There will always a smallest reason for you to be happy and one of it is drinking your coke because coke brings happiness to your life even if you’re from Italy or any part of the world coke will always be with you in good time and in bad times to cheer you up and bring happiness to your life.

The advertising campaign used the Transfer or Emotional Appeal since, Italy is quite having a hard time the advertising company together with Coca-Cola, decided to make something that will appeal to people’s emotion that is why they came up with this genius idea of diverting the emotion of the people from negativity to positivity. They make an advertisement that will make the people happy and that will give the people’s bright and beautiful smiles back to their lips.
