All imitation comments aside, the Coke ad is phenomenal. The 'Coke side of life' is a bland strategy. But to take the most extreme case of an unhappy world (Vice City) and cure it is brilliant. The target lives in that world and the analogy is extremely powerful and convincing. Plus, the execution is killer. The music is perfect. This is the kind of ad that affirms why we got into this business in the first place.
