Coke Lights Up Atlanta JT May 12, 2011 Advertising, Interesting, Soft Drinks 1 Comment In honor of their 125th anniversary, Coca-Cola has temporarily changed the Atlanta skyline and their high-rise HQ into a 4-sided movie screen, showing many of their ads used over the years as well as some cool visuals – made especially impressive by their scale (26 stories).  The building will be lit up every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night in May. As has been documented on So Good before, I continue to believe that Coke is one of the worst offenders in making this world a fatter place — but a good idea is a good idea.  I’m not sure how much it cost to put this plan into action, but it is smart branding – and one big reason they have been in business so long, darn it.
