Challenge

Refresh and modernize Coke x McDonald’s “Grab Summer” program, integrating the My Coke Rewards Beta+ platform and driving deeper social participation.


Idea

Launch “Snap. Share. Win.” — a social-first mechanic inviting consumers to complete photo challenges and post using #CokeGrabSummerSweeps for a chance to win weekly prizes.


Built a dynamic digital ecosystem through MCR Beta+, featuring rotating photo challenges, a live gallery aggregating submissions, and ongoing content drops to sustain momentum all summer. In-store integration across McDonald’s bags, tray liners, and cups extended reach at point of purchase, supported by paid influencers across major social platforms.
