News Bulletin: Coca-Cola selfie bottle; R/GA Sydney wins Toyota digital; Fuel MD to head WPP's Westfield

Coca-Cola creates selfie bottle

Coca-Cola has created a selfie bottle to snap pics while you sip the sweet stuff. Created by ad agency Gefen Team in Israel, the camera slips over the bottom of the bottle like a cooler and senses when the bottle is being tipped. Gefen Team created the bottle as part of Coca-Cola Israel‘s “Summer Love” event, and there doesn’t seem to be any plans to actually sell the bottle at retail or bring it Down Under – which is a real shame.
