Coca-Cola isn't producing a new Christmas commercial for the U.S. market this year (it's doing some festive packaging instead) but has produced an impressive cinematic short film in Brazil that captures the wonder of the season through a child's eyes.
The spot, "Uma Ponte para Noel" ("A Bridge for Santa"), from J. Walter Thompson Brazil, tells the story of a village that Santa Claus appears to have forgotten in recent years. One boy in town speculates that it's because the main bridge into town is broken, and Santa's carriage can't cross it. He leaves a message for Santa in a Coke bottle, and his father, upon reading it, resolves to try to fix the bridge—hoping for a little Christmas magic.
The film was written by author, journalist and moviemaker José Roberto Torero (one of the screenwriters of the 1998 Oscar-nominated short film Uma História de Futebol) and directed by Fernando Grostein Andrade of Spray Filmes. Blasco Giurato (Cinema Paradiso) was the cinematographer.
Coke's famous illuminated Christmas trucks—first introduced in 1995 in a campaign from U.S. agency Doner—obviously play a key role in the new Brazilian film. And they are central to the larger campaign, which will include the story of Mathias being retold on the streets of Brazil through the parades of Coke's caravans. For those who don't see the parades, Coke is also making a special 360-degree animation for viewing on Google Cardboard.
The film was also screened at Kinoplex theaters all over Brazil.
This year also marks the launch of "Caravana Produções" ("Caravan Productions"), a make-believe production company that will (in real life, through Coke and JWT) invite screenwriters and directors to create future Christmas ads involving the Coke caravans. ("Uma Ponte para Noel" is the first in the series.)
"More than a campaign, we conceived this project as an entertainment platform. We want to turn Coca-Cola's Christmas caravans into the main character of a story that is retold every year, touching consumers all over Brazil across several platforms," said Marcelo Páscoa, head of integrated marketing communication at Coca-Cola Brazil.
"Our goal was to bring back the magic spirit of Christmas that Coca-Cola's Christmas caravans help revive, always inspiring us everywhere they go," added Ricardo John, chief creative officer at JWT Brazil.
