"The most memorable emotional connection that I have experienced from a marketing effort would be between Coca-Cola and the Olympics. It was fascinating to learn that Coca-Cola was the first commercial sponsor of the Olympic Games in 1928. Today, there aren't many people who can keep a dry eye when watching the emotionally driven Olympics commercials; myself included. This strong connection builds through the idea of longstanding relationships, pride in country, and community connection. The Olympic Games resonate globally, which makes this partnership especially impactful."
