Sugar Cube Art from the Irish

Harvest Films were retained by Brita to make the vision a reality. After extensive research they were able to locate and commission two world renowned, contemporary sugar sculpture artists Brendan Jamison and Mark Revels, who were excited to be a part of this project. Working closely with Matthias on the dimensions and physical structure of the Sugar City, Matthias was able to design a pre-visualization that would be used to illustrate specific camera movements.

CEO James Quincey told investors this week it was because Diet Coke has tapped into the millennial market with targeted marketing and “flavor innovation” such as Ginger Lime, Twisted Mango and Feisty Cherry. Quincey also cited the fact that earlier this year, Diet Coke came out in a new “sleek can” that presents a “more modern, more engaging package.”

The packaging changes were encouraged in part by rising metal costs that encouraged the company to “bring some innovation into the packaging” and adapt to changes, Quincey said.
