cool yourself down with this icebreaker


Tom Ward and Coca Cola team up for White Valentines



China is not only the world’s most populated country, but its also a tough place to find a suitable partner, so tough that they’ve created ‘Marriage Markets’ where parents gather to try and find a match for their children.  

White Valentines comes exactly a month after Valentines Day. It’s a day where roles are reversed and women can approach men to make the first move. So last White Valentine’s Day, Leo Burnett came up with the concept of Coca Cola being the ultimate ‘Ice Breaker’, creating a moment that people can share together.



The idea: plant a vending machine full of ice cold Coca Cola’s with tightened caps in the most romantic park in central Shanghai. The outcome: girls buying the bottles of Coke would need to enlist the help of a male passerby to open the bottle.

This accidental approach is quietly crafted by Coke and creates a meet cute for couples that may never have met otherwise – the ultimate aim being one of love.
