This case examined an online branding process of Cherry coke by Korea Coke Cola and Daum Communications. They selected Internet as an effective communication media with their target customers at launching of Cherry Coke. The company used only online marketing communication tools including Cherry Zzang character and Website, online teaser advertising, avatar gift, and viral marketing of Cherry Zzang, etc. Online marketing communication with teenager was successful but sales of Cherry Coke in offline stores were not.
