In its new marketing campaign, Coca-Cola is taking personalisation to a whole new level by printing 150 of the most popular names in Britain instead of its symbolic branding.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThere has been virtually no media coverage of the move, as the company wanted to surprise consumers who were shopping for Coca-Cola products. Instead, social network users have been doing the hard work for Coca-Cola. &nbsp;On Twitter the hashtag #ShareACoke has been used, allowing consumers to tell their friends about the new packs. There is also a new Share A Coke UK website and an associated Facebook app, where people who cannot find their names printed on labels can create a virtual personal can, the company explained.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe personalised labels can be found on 375ml and 500ml PET bottles of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Coke Zero and the intention is to drive positive perception of the brand and to offer a fun and memorable experience for consumers, as they are encouraged to find a bottle for themselves, their family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">A fully integrated campaign is set to follow, centred around a TV ad uses storytelling to explore the personalityies that young people admire.
