SECOND FIRST TIME STORIES


How does it feel to kiss the person you’ve been married to for years for the first time, at 56? 

Organ transplant recipients who have seen their lives start again, share their very own “Second First Time Stories” through photos, videos, and a series of podcasts. In doing so, they highlight the importance of organ transplantation in helping more people come back to life and to the things they love.

COCA-COLA

THE NAMELESS SONG


Jolene, Roxanne, Alejandro. While it’s usually the writers who pick the names mentioned in songs, we gave that choice to the listeners. For the launch of #ShareACoke in Greece, we collaborated with Konstantinos Argiros, a Greek superstar, to create a song with as many versions as there are names. The audience initially tags the artist on a named Coke can to invite him to create their version of the song.



Some lucky lucky users received personalized video dedications from the artist. 



Then, all versions of the song were officially released by Coca-Cola.





In Konstantinos Argiros concerts, people could generate LED banners with their names
through Coca-Cola App, to invite the artist to play their version.

ONASSIS CULTURE

NOISE


If you’re gonna throw a party, you’d better warn the neighborhood.
If your party is gonna be massive, you’d better warn the whole city.

The Onassis Cultural Centre opened the 2018–19 season with a huge block party at the building.
To promote the event, we simply apologized in advance for the noise to the whole city.
