Coca-Cola has shifted the focus of its current “Enjoy” campaign to the teenage market, said a client representative.

Cliff Freeman and Partners recently produced six spots—four showing people reacting angrily to the absence of Coke and two teen-targeted spots.

Coke rep Mart Martin said that after being tested, the “Graduation” and “Family Portrait” spots were “being phased out in favor of the [teen-targeted] ads,” because “their message came through stronger” with consumers.

“Family Portrait” showed a frail matriarch exploding in anger after finding out that none of her kin had brought Coke to a family gathering.
