Momentum Worldwide Elevates the New Coke Spiced Event with AI

— March 6, 2025 — Lifestyle
To launch its new 'Coke Spiced' flavor, Coca-Cola teamed up with actress Storm Reid to create an AI-powered, multi-sensory experience. Inspired by Reid's take on the drink—a fusion of raspberry and warm spices—the event saw Momentum Worldwide transform a SoHo building into an immersive art exhibit.

Dubbed the 'Spiced Shop,' the event, open to the public on March 1-2, let visitors sample the new beverage and use AI prompts to visualize their tasting experience. Massive LED walls displayed dynamic AI-generated animations, adding to the excitement.

“Instead of explaining the flavor to guests and having them try it after, we had them try the beverage first and then tell us what it tasted like,” explained James Robinson, chief creative officer, North America, at Momentum Worldwide. “It’s a complete 180 on how we normally trial a Coca-Cola beverage, and impossible to accomplish without the help of an AI experience like this one.”
