Coca-Cola Kenya continues to bring its 'Share a Coke' campaign to different parts of the coast region reminding Kenyans that sometimes, a simple bottle of soda with a familiar name is all it takes to make someone’s day.

Coca-Cola relaunched its global “Share a Coke” campaign in Kenya in April this year, bringing back personalized Coke bottles and cans featuring individual names.

The campaign, first introduced in 2011, replaces the brand’s logo with popular first names and encourages consumers to connect through shared experiences.

The initiative targets a new generation of consumers, particularly Gen Z, who are increasingly drawn to authentic, personalized experiences both online and offline.

Countrywide activations are also planned at malls, colleges, eateries, and other public spaces, where consumers can find personalized bottles and take part in various campaign activities.

In addition to in-person events, the campaign has also entered in digital presence on TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), with users encouraged to share their experiences using the hashtag #ShareaCoke.

The company says the campaign aims to highlight real-life social interactions at a time when traditional communal spaces are becoming less common. 

Personalized Coke bottles and cans are now available in stores, supermarkets, and entertainment venues countrywide.

The “Share a Coke” campaign will run in all parts of the country as Kenya celebrated the Madaraka day celebration.
