This ad by MacLaren McCann for Coca-Cola Canada is part a fully integrated marketing campaign launched by the popco leading up to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. Supporting the Torch Relay, it invites Canadians to ‘live Olympic’ by promoting a healthy lifestyle and environmental sustainability, offering consumers the chance to carry the Olympic Flame for Coca-Cola. Or as one pundit described it, ‘like the RBC ad, but more ‘youthy’ and without animated dudes’.
