Ben Johnston “ReTweets of Love” / Diet Coke

Ben Johnston “ReTweets of Love” / Diet Coke

Ben Johnston has been working with the teams at Droga5 and Fast Horse to transform Diet Coke fan tweets into amazingly detailed pieces of custom-made artwork inspired by the taste and look of Diet Coke.

Diet Coke is expressing thanks via a new Twitter-led social campaign called “ReTweets of Love.” The campaign champions fans who share their unwavering love for the great taste of Diet Coke on social media, by surprising dozens of people with their tweets reimagined in clever ways and in unexpected places.

“We’ve been connecting with our biggest and most passionate fans through social media for years, but we felt it was time to return that love in a way that’s as big as our appreciation. A simple retweet just isn’t enough for our loyal fans who love the great taste of Diet Coke,” said Danielle Henry, group director, Integrated Marketing Content, Coca-Cola North America. "We can’t wait for our Diet Coke enthusiasts to see their tweets reimagined into displays of affection that are as unique as they are."

Diet Coke fans will start seeing their tweets reimagined on custom jewellery, framed artwork, a large-scale outdoor mural in New York City or even in the pages of their favourite magazine.

Fans are encouraged to tweet their love to @DietCoke on Twitter for the opportunity to see that love come back from their favourite brand during the program. Fans also can follow “ReTweets of Love” online as Diet Coke posts photos and videos from its public displays of affection right to the brand’s Twitter page.

Introducing Gianluca Folì

We are delighted to announce that Début Art now represents Italian illustrator Gianluca Folì. Gianluca Folì is an award-winning illustrator who lives and works in Rome. He likes pizza but doesn't play the mandolin. In more than 20-years of his career, Gianluca has pursued a path of study, of gaze, of search for his own intimate vocabulary. He explores the connection with things, visually referencing the objective correlative in the poetry of Thomas Eliot and Eugenio Montale which clearly represents emotions through things and the breaking of the boredom of everyday life. Gianluca's images stem from this narrative, transformed into shapes and colours by an alchemical process, with elegant momentum and modulation of the visual. The creative force of his images is balanced by a tightrope walking technique, in a happy and magical balance between drawing and color, between reality and the surreal. The arrival at a more direct code, made of synthesis and simplification, suggesting and ev...
