What kind of media?

Coca Cola is very active in social media, and their hard work is helping to build up a bank of trust with their audiences. Coca-Cola has been working in many different ways to use social media to create trusting customer relationships. For example, Coke has the second most popular page on Facebook (after President Obama's) with more than 5 million fans. During this past Super Bowl, Coke partnered with Facebook to inspire fans to send digital gifts to friends and, in return, donated $1 for each gift sent to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America with which Coke has had a 64-year relationship. Coke could have given coupons or other monetary consideration, but it felt that the psychic gratification generated by the donations was a much better way to build relationships in this new medium.
