“Teens are the most demanding target audience as far as creativity is concerned and in
the way they engage with a brand or campaign. "
"
They demand to interact and participate with brands and be part of the conversation."
"
Coke Music has been designed with that understanding and to enable teens to view,
participate and share the content and experiences.” "
