Introduction.
The Coca-Cola Company, based in Atlanta, Georgia, is a global beverage company that was established under the Delaware General Corporation Rule. Coca-Cola is a carbonated drink sold in restaurants, supermarkets, and vending machines all over the world. Nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups are manufactured, sold, and distributed by Coca-Cola. The manufacturer produces Coca-Cola, which was developed by chemist John Stith Pemberton in 1886. In 1889, Asa Griggs Candler paid $2,300 for the formula and brand, and in 1892, he founded The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta.
The company has run a franchised distribution system since 1889. The company primarily produces syrup concentrate, which is then sold to a variety of bottlers with exclusive territories all over the world. The company owns Coca-Cola Refreshments, the company's North American anchor bottler.
Coca-Cola remains the world's most popular soft drink, dominating the food and beverage industry. Throughout its long history, Coke has been responsible for a variety of memorable promotional campaigns.
The Coca-Cola Corporation of Atlanta, Georgia, offers the product to over 200 countries worldwide, except for North Korea and Cuba. Because of its global reputation, its owners can quickly implement cross-cultural advertisement strategies that result in successful marketing and revenues. This paper examines the Coca-Cola Company's 2011 advertising campaign, "Share a Coke."

The campaign began with the easy activation of placing the most popular Australian names on Coke bottles to raise sales and add to social talk about the soft drink. The campaign was a huge success in Australia,
