Excluding a growl or two by an animated dragon, neither of Coke’s minute-long ads for Super Bowl XLV used any dialogue to convey the brand's theme of sharing happiness. The ads, heavy on music and imagery, stayed true to the “Open Happiness” campaign, which began in 2009 and continued through the end of 2015. Both "Siege" and "Border" were created by Wieden & Kennedy.

Like "Siege," a 2009 Super Bowl ad for Coke and from Wieden called "Heist" used computer animation beautifully and told its story without words.
