Why on New Year's Eve a trucker is more important than Santa Claus

What do you associate with Christmas and New Year? Yes, tangerines, a Christmas tree, Olivier, a gray-haired old man (Father Frost or Santa, depending on the country), and also... truckers. "Why is this?" - you ask. But because “Holidays are coming to us, holidays are coming to us...” or “Holidays are Coming! Holidays are Coming!..” Do you remember the motive? What about the video? Bright, red trucks with Christmas lights, and each one is driven by a truck driver. That's why they are more important than Santa.

ForumDaily and trucking company SVB Express decided to find out how Coca-Cola created this legendary ad, making the trucker a symbol of the New Year. What's more, this year's iconic ad has gone ma'am.

This picture once again emphasized the importance of the work of truckers - in past holiday seasons they brought joy and gifts, and this year they also saved lives.

But back to Coca-Cola.

How a truck became a symbol of the New Year

Advertisements with trucks glowing with thousands of lights were born 25 years ago and immediately created a sensation, since it was the first Christmas advertisement in the United States without the traditional attributes of sleighs and reindeer. Bright trucks quickly captivated residents of dozens of countries around the world. This is not surprising, since the organization that participated in the filming of “Star Wars” was responsible for the operation of special effect lights on cars (there were 30 of them). Already in 000, Coca-Cola's New Year's advertisements were shown by television channels in more than a hundred countries. This is one of the few advertisements that people actually look forward to when watching TV, even now, when this idea is a quarter of a century old.

When branded trucks were not shown on the screens in 2005, Coca-Cola received thousands of requests to continue broadcasting videos. Since then, the company has not changed this idea.

Truck dreams

The advertisement inspired hundreds of people to dream of becoming a truck driver. Briton Matt Smith loved trucks. Having seen Coca-Cola advertisements with huge holiday cars as a child, he decided that he would definitely get behind the wheel of one of them. He did not change his dream and became a truck driver. But that was only half the battle.

Red Coca-Cola trucks drove through his city, but he never got a chance to even see them with his own eyes, let alone get behind the wheel. On the eve of Christmas in 2015, the guy published several messages on social networks, where he spoke about his childhood dream. One of his posts got 50 likes and shares, reaching Coca-Cola representatives. And the company decided to support the spirit of miracles that it created. For one evening, Matt became a holiday truck driver, fulfilling his cherished desire.

New year with family

Driving a magic Coca-Cola truck is, of course, fun, and even then I would definitely not want to spend every New Year in the cab (even with garlands) instead of a family feast. And many truckers generally have to work on less colorful trucks on holidays, instead of celebrating the New Year with their family.

But in SVB Express believe in the magic of family gatherings and make sure that drivers spend the most important days with their families. The work schedule in SVB Express is selected so that the truckers do not work for wear and tear, but have a fresh mind and can control the situation on the road. Company drivers spend weekends and important holidays with their families, which helps reduce stress and stress both in the family and at work.

The famous Coca-Cola advertisement will add additional magic to the New Year's feast with the family: a son or daughter, sitting in dad's arms, will certainly be proud of their father, who drives the same car as on TV, albeit without garlands.

Join the team SVB Express and become the delivery of gifts, essential goods and other important goods, while maintaining a harmonious relationship in the family.
