Coca-Cola once again underscored its position as Sri Lanka’s No.1 beverage by bagging two awards – ‘Youth Beverage Brand of the Year’ and ‘Beverage Brand of the Year’ – at the SLIM Kantar People’s Awards 2022 held recently.

The two awards were accepted by Mario Perera – Head of Marketing of Coca-Cola Sri Lanka.

“This is a momentous occasion for Coca-Cola in Sri Lanka as we have won both the coveted beverage awards for the first time ever, highlighting how close the brand is to the hearts and minds of all Sri Lankans, especially the youth. 

“As a brand, Coca-Cola has continued to refresh the people from all corners of Sri Lanka and connected with the youth through music, sports, food, events and social and environmental projects. 

“As we celebrate this historic win, we would like to convey our deepest appreciation to all our consumers for their support through the years and would like to reiterate that we will maintain our focus on delivering youthful, innovative, uplifting and exciting experiences as we aim to meet their changing needs,” Perera said.

During 2021, Coca-Cola celebrated its 60th anniversary in Sri Lanka. By establishing its footprint in Sri Lanka throughout six decades, Coca-Cola has invested in the future of its business, demonstrating long-term commitment, while adding economic value to the country and creating thousands of jobs directly and indirectly. During the past year, Coca-Cola in Sri Lanka also launched the new Coca-Cola Zero with an even more delicious and refreshing recipe and bold, new packaging to deliver a taste that brings consumers even closer to the iconic classic Coke.
