Coca-Cola Fan Lot at Pacific Bell Park

In 1998, Coca-Cola entered into a sponsorship agreement with the San Francisco Giants to build an interactive fan attraction, the Coca- Cola Fan Lot at Pacific Bell Park. Local community leaders, news and sports columnists took Coca-Cola and the Giants to task for allowing a giant Coca-Cola contour bottle to be placed beyond the left field seats, with one reporter referring to it as a “monument to tooth decay.” Singer developed an overall roll-out strategy and media plan for the Coca-Cola Fan Lot, which showcased the entire attraction as a positive fan experience in the highly anticipated new Pacific Bell Park. All communication material focused on the fact that the attraction elements were designed and constructed by Northern California companies, making the attraction unique to Northern California and to San Francisco.
