BBQs are not complete without some Coca-Cola and now you won’t miss the tasty beverage on Tumblr either. Coke partnered with “A-listers” to launch the first-ever
celebrity-designed themes for Tumblr, the brand’s latest outreach to the teen audience. Smart move considering more than 11 million teen bloggers spend an average of nearly 40 minutes per day on Tumblr.
The Speed of Social Media Campaigns
