This segment usually only targeted with basic freebies and generic prizes, Coca Cola tapped into an insight that the workers can truly related to.

Coca-Cola decided to spread a little happiness by helping these Asian workers connect to their families back home more often.

“The call costs $0.9 per min. and those Asian laborers average wages is $6 per day.”

Hello Happiness phone booth was created. Smartly turns the Coca Cola bottle caps into currency to be be used as a currency to call their families through the Hello Happiness phone Booth.
