?The goal of the campaign is to connect with teens across America,? said Chris Mahl, senior vice president and chief brand alchemist at Scvngr.

?Mobile challenges are the most flexible unit of interaction with connecting with consumers,? he said.

Coca-Cola's portfolio features brands including Diet Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Coca-Cola Zero, vitaminwater, Powerade, Minute Maid, Simply and Georgia.

?Teens will be at certain places like a concert, park or movie theater and they?ll see something where it says ?play Coke on Scvngr here,?? Mr. Mahl said. ?The challenges that they?ll complete can be posted to Facebook and Twitter by choice and there?s a series of rewards that will unlock in the game so users can win and earn prizes."
