This proposed radio advert tells the story of a grandfather sharing a story with his grandson. When the grandson passes the grandfather a Coke, he drinks it and is energized, starting a party. The main message is that a Coke can refresh anyone. The target audience is 16-19 year old teens who enjoy socializing and parties. Consideration needs to be given to not offending older audiences, as depicting them as slow and sluggish without energy could be seen as ageist by some.
