Coke Zero Coca-cola Zero or Coke Zero is a product of The Coca-Cola Company. Coke Zero is a low calorie (0.3 kcal per 100ml) drink which is a variation of Coca-Cola itself. It is specifically marketed to men, who are shown to associate diet drinks with woman. It is marked as having a taste that is indistinguishable form standard Coca-Cola, as opposed to Diet coke which is a different flavour. The Coca-Cola Zero logo has generally featured the script coca-Cola logo in red with a white trim on black background, with the word 'Zero' underneath in lower case in the geometric typeface Avenir. Coke Zero was Coca-Colas largest product launch in 22 years. The global compaign was done by creative agency Crispin Porter and Brogusky. It is primlary marketed towards young adult males.
In Australia the products launch was promoted by a fake font group. The Campaign included outdoor graffiti and online spamming that mentioned a fake blog. Once exposed, consumer advocates assailed the campaign as misleading and established the Zero Coke Movement to comment on the ethics of cokes activities.
In 2013, Coca-Cola swapped the logo on Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Coke Zero bottles and cans in many European countries with 150 of local most popular names for a summer-long "Share a Coke" campaign.The same campaign was used in North America the following summer.
In 2014, Coca-Cola relaunched Coke Zero with a "Just Add Zero" campaign in the UK and Ireland
