An introduction
Weve put these guidelines together to help you communicate with people about working at The Coca-Cola Company. We refer to this as our Employer Value Proposition, or EVP. All this really means is that in the same way our advertising connects with our consumers, our EVP should communicate with people who want to (or currently) work with us. Whats behind this EVP is a simple idea: inspired by the secret formula of The Coca-Cola Company, we recognised that the passion that people bring to work and how it is converted into action is what distinguishes us. Visually, this is expressed through formulae.

Employer Brand Guidelines

Formula

( + curiosity ) = career *
Accounting skills coupled with a passion for how things work, multiplied by original ideas equals a best brand career opportunity in finance. You could use this for a recruitment advertisement, a banner ad, or the cover of an induction pack.

* This is the visual language we use to make our EVP distinctive and evocative

So what is the EVP in words?

Over more than 120 years, weve come to recognise that the proposition we offer as an employer is a constantly changing formula. What we bring to the table can only be sparked by the passion of the people we employ. One part of our formula is what we offer: the companys extraordinary heritage, leading brands, global scope and scale; the competitive compensation one would expect; the challenge of meaningful work in a vibrant global system of evolving opportunities for global career and skills development; and a culture where people convert their passion into action. The other part of this special formula is the passion you bring: making a contribution to sustainable growth; pursuing creativity in everything you do; a spirit of collaboration; balanced by a pragmatic, sustainably commercial mindset. The result, for those who can transform their secret formula for passion into action, is unparalleled career opportunity and an amazing experience. Whats your secret formula?

The EVP The Employer Value Proposition, or EVP, would seldom be used in its entirety in a communication other than to a recruitment agency, an HR person or in another professional context. Nonetheless, it is important to understand the EVP clearly to ensure advertising and communication bring it to life appropriately. The message framework (page 07) also provides more specific guidance about how to use the EVP.

Employer Brand Guidelines

V 1.0
page 5

When would you use the EVP?

Finding the right message (formula) is all about understanding your communication objective. Who are you talking to? What do you want them to do or think as a result? In short, you need to agree a clear brief with your colleague at The Coca-Cola Company. These will take the form of print ads, online communications, print publications and face-to-face communication.

Examples of likely objectives: Advertising The Coca-Cola Company as a place to work in general: for example in the Great Places to Work Survey List.

( + curiosity ) = career *
Advertising specic roles at The Coca-Cola Company: for example, brand manager, truck driver, head of finance, in print or online.

( ) 2 + innovation = senior brand manager

Employee communications: talking to existing employees about career planning, in a presentation or in a booklet in this example, using our existing Live Positively imagery.

+ + + + + + = Live Positively

Employer Brand Guidelines

V 1.0

What are the messages?

What we say in the formula and in the communication needs to get across some key messages about The Coca-Cola Company and about the type of people we want. The message framework provides four key areas of messaging about what The Coca-Cola Company offers, and four key message areas about what the company expects candidates to bring to their career. Like the EVP, the framework would seldom be used in its entirety or literally. Instead, for each role being advertised or communication being created, specific elements of the message framework can be highlighted and balanced to get the right message across.

What The Coca-Cola Company offers

Company 122 years, 200 countries, 400 brands worth more than $58 billion, 49,000 people. The opportunity to work with some of the worlds most iconic and best loved brands. Compensation Top 60% and therefore highly competitive total reward packages, recognising and rewarding your contribution. Culture Collaborative, commercial, creative people converting passion into action; a surprisingly small company with plenty of opportunities. Challenge Meaningful work in a dynamic vibrant global system of constantly emerging opportunities for global career and skills development; a constantly evolving marketplace.

What people bring

(what we expect) Contribution A passion for making a difference and having a tangible impact. Collaboration A passion for working with a diverse range of people with different views, perspectives, priorities and passions. Creativity A passion for bringing creativity and fresh thinking to all aspects of work and life; a desire to Live Positively. Commercial A passion for ensuring that there is a sustainable commercial outcome and benefit for your actions.

A shared mission, vision and values

Components of a formula
Whats in a formula? The formula should include the most important element(s) of what The Coca-Cola Company offers for the audience and the brief. And it should include something about what people bring to the mix. It also should include key elements about the job or communication in question. Its a fluid mix to play with ideally you should include all three elements, but its not an exact science. 2. + 3. 3. 1. 3. 2.

( ) 2 + innovation = senior brand manager

3.
1. Key messages Some elements are best (or most easily) presented using words. Be sure to use words that are consistent with The Coca-Cola Companys brand and Live Positively philosophy so avoid things which might have negative connotations.

1.
2. Supporting iconography Icons can bring a more emotional, compelling and intriguing element creating a smile in the mind. Some of these elements can be The Coca-Cola Company brands and trademarks; others can be more generic to the communication in question. 3. Formula symbols Use mathematical symbols to create emphasis and impact. For example, where two skills are needed, a plus sign (+) might be appropriate; where a more dramatic outcome is expected as a result of a combination of elements, multiplication (x) or even exponents (xn).

What the formula needs to do The formula needs to be simple and get its point across immediately. It needs to create intrigue. Its really a good headline that includes images. It must grab attention and compel the reader to read the ad. The best ones create a smile in the mind, or make the reader feel special if they decode the message.

Creating an application an advertisement for The Coca-Cola Company as a place to work in general:
Brief (example)
In this example, the content has to do with two senior brand managers who used their creativity, commercial mindsets, collaborative natures and desire to make a contribution to develop inspiring campaigns tied in to two recent major cinematic releases featuring sexy city girls and a renowned secret agent. The Coca-Cola Company brand brought the clout, credibility and culture required to enter into these types of conversations but making it happen was down to their influencing skills and tenacity. Heres the formula that resulted:

Formula Why is The Coca-Cola Company an attractive employer? Challenge (tenacity) Company (great products, great ideas) What the individual needs to bring to the job Creativity (2 inspired campaigns) Commercial (tenacity) What the job entails (truthfully) Collaboration (tenacity) Company (connecting with Sex in the City shoes and a certain secret agents panache)

Job description/details An example of a typical role, in this case senior brand managers. Creating great product tie-in campaigns is just one of the benefits of working at The Coca-Cola Company. Danielle and Jo combined their passion for films with hard work to create two great campaigns.

Afterword
There is no single formula for success at The Coca-Cola Company but using the formula is a core element in presenting our EVP to candidates. Each formula should be simple, immediate, and meet the needs of the role being advertised or the message being crafted. The formula should ideally include core elements from the message framework what The Coca-Cola Company brings, and what the candidate must bring to the job. It should ideally also represent the job accurately in some cases, acting as a filter where many applications are expected, and other times acting as an enticement to attract a higher number of applicants. The formula should be informative and fun without being hard to decode. Remember, it will work with the copy to create a complete piece of communication. The text will also always include the boilerplate description and call to action (Whats your secret formula?). It is important to work with your contact at The Coca-Cola Company to ensure the formula is delivering against the recruitment or communication brief.

The formula is highly flexible. In some cases, it can be used to tell a story about an individual their passion, their job and what they have done. In other cases, the formula can be more grounded and present a more technical description of the role in question. The key is to work with your contact at The Coca-Cola Company to agree the best approach for their recruitment and communication challenge; for some roles, particularly more creative and senior roles, the story approach might be more suitable. For junior roles or more operational jobs, the grounded approach might be the best choice.

We know that this is a lot to take in. Just to re-cap: Create the right formula: simple / accurate / fun / on brief Back the formula up with the right copy
