Facing this reality, Coca‑Cola launched the "This Moment Toast to our FIFA World Cup" campaign across China, transforming the global tournament into a celebration that every consumer could call their own. At the closing party of the Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup Fan Gathering on July 19, in Beijing, China, Coca-Cola successfully set a new Guinness World Records title for the most contributions to an online photo mosaic – which came together to form a giant TIFO in a virtual landscape. Leading up to this moment, TIFOs had traveled across football grounds and city leagues nationwide, inviting fans to join. Their late-night viewing moments and the joy of sharing a Coca‑Cola were woven into a giant TIFO, preserving individual memories and making them a collective legacy.

Its MV featured a red TIFO across Chinese landmarks, bringing local passion to the world stage. By scanning QR codes on Coca‑Cola packaging, fans could join the TIFO — turning every can into their own way to cheer for the World Cup. [![](https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1885479/20260720020927EDT-image-2.jpg?id=OA2770613&p=medium600)](https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1885479/20260720020927EDT-image-2.jpg?id=OA2770613&p=medium600) Coca‑Cola also introduced a real‑time AI avatar of Chinese football icon Fan Zhiyi — an interactive companion for live sports viewing. Powered by Baidu Yijing, it offers 24/7 conversations with fans. Recreating Fan with remarkable fidelity, the avatar lets users discuss match action, share insights and converse naturally throughout the tournament. Unlike pre‑programmed virtual characters, it delivers a dynamic, always‑on experience — moving Coca‑Cola from post‑match content to in‑match participation, while setting a benchmark for Chinese AI in major sporting events. [![](https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1885478/20260720020927EDT-image-3.jpg?id=OA2770611&p=medium600)](https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1885478/20260720020927EDT-image-3.jpg?id=OA2770611&p=medium600) Coca‑Cola’s campaign went beyond brand communication — it showed how a global brand can become part of consumers’ lives — connecting through shared experiences and co-created moments. Music stirred emotions, TIFO embodied co-creation, and AI delivered companionship. When the tournament ended, what stayed were not marketing messages, but the joy of sharing a Coca‑Cola with friends, the pride of being part of the TIFO, and the fun of chatting with AI Fan Zhiyi. This is the essence of a brand-consumer relationship.
