Dive Insight:
Taking over global responsibility for a brand like Coke Zero will be a huge undertaking for Ogilvy & Mather going forward. In Europe, the brand has become increasingly popular, with Coke Zero on track to surpassCoca-Cola Light to become the market's second largest soda brand. Plenty of other agencies had their eye on the creative account, so Ogilvy should be proud to accept the responsibility.
