As such, the biggest companies spend millions of pounds each year to produce innovative new campaigns. Coca Cola are arguably the brand who have had the most festive advertising success, paving the way for other brands for generations. Here we’ll take a quick look at Coke’s unmatchable influence, not only on the world of advertising, but also on Christmas as we know it. • Coca Cola Santa Claus • Most people will have heard it said, somewhere or other, that Coca Cola invented the Santa Claus. Well, the Santa Claus we know today, at least, dressing him in Coke’s trademark red to push their own sugary agenda. While it’s not strictly true that Coke ‘invented’ Santa, their series of Christmas campaigns, beginning in 1931, had a remarkable impact. • Of course, Coke didn’t invent Santa. Santa Claus, in his many incarnations, has long been a prominent figure in Western folklore. Our modern-day image of Santa Claus was inspired by several historical and mythical figures including 4th Century Greek Christian Bishop St Nicholas of Myra, venerated for his gift-giving, kindness and generosity towards children); Norse God, the fur-clad, white-bearded Odin (who led the Yuletide hunt on an eight-legged horse); and Sinterklaas of the Netherlands, who, wearing a bishop’s hat, rewards good children with gifts, along with his partner, Zwarte Piet, (who in some stories steps in to whip bad children). What Coca Cola helped to do was unite these disparate elements into one unified idea of the Father Christmas we recognize today.
