The drinks giant has teamed up with the makers of the latest Bond film Quantum of Solace to launch a special Zero Zero Seven version of their Coke Zero drink – named after the agent’s code number 007.
Quantum of Solace, which sees Daniel Craig reprise his role as the British spy, is released on 31 October and Coca-Cola will simultaneously launch the new Zero Zero Seven logo and limited edition black bottles in the £5 million deal.
The company hopes the marketing strategy will make Coke Zero – which is a sugar-free version of Coca-Cola – more appealing to men.
A spokesperson for Coca-Cola said: “It’s an honour to partner Coke Zero with such an iconic franchise as Bond.”
Bobby Britton, brand director of Coca-Cola Great Britain said: “The new edgier Bond persona is the ultimate embodiment of the Coke Zero brand personality and expected to make the brand more popular with its target audience of 20-something men.”
The limited edition Zero Zero Seven Coke will sell for £1.50 at upmarket department store Harrods in London, as well as being available at other outlets across the UK.
