Creating Christmas: Coke and a Smile

Published: Dec. 24, 2012, 7 p.m.

This month, we celebrate the ho, ho, holidays with Atlantas very own, Coca-Cola. The Coke brand is a cultural identity curated through art and advertising, rooted deeply in the National and International psyche. From Santa Claus to polar bears to holiday caravans and concerts, Coca-Cola – more than any other commercial factor – has made Christmas what it is today, and we happily drink it up. Our guests today include: (1) TED RYAN, Director of Communications for Coca-Colas Archives Department, (2) KEN STEWART, the creator the famous Coca-Cola polar bears (3) ZOE HOWORTH, the Marketing Director for Coca-Cola Great Britain who oversees the annual Christmas caravan and (4) JERE FLINT, a celist for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra who will help us compliment the look of Christmas with the perfect sound of Christmas.
