Diet Coke Is Retweeting Its Biggest Fans in Suddenly Extravagant Ways

A retweet is nice and all. But as an expression of affection, it's woefully lame.

Diet Coke understand this, and is taking a grand new approach to retweeting love notes from fans. Instead of just hitting a button on Twitter, it's retweeting the tweets out in the real world—in beautifully designed ads on billboards, custom jewelry, framed artwork, magazine pages and more. The surprise RTs will be tailored to each individual tweet, and will roll out throughout the fall.

The "Retweets of Love" campaign—by ad agency Droga5, with help from acclaimed designers and illustrators including Erik Marinovich, Marta Cerdà Alimbau and Jeff Rogers—begins this week with a billboard in Times Square, where three tweets from Diet Coke fans in Texas, Oregon and Virginia are being retweeted in front of the masses.

"We've been connecting with our biggest and most passionate fans through social media for years, but we felt it was time to return that love in way that's as big as our appreciation. A simple retweet just isn't enough for our loyal fans who love the great taste of Diet Coke," said Danielle Henry, group director of integrated marketing content at Coca-Cola North America. "We can't wait for our Diet Coke enthusiasts to see their tweets reimagined into displays of affection that are as unique as they are."

"Retweets of Love" is an extension of Diet Coke's "Get a Taste" campaign, which launched last fall.
