This study uses semiotic analysis, focusing on the visual elements of Coca Cola Advertising in Australia. Semiotic analysis is a qualitative research method used to explain the use and meaning of symbols in the media. The analysis revolves around Barthes' three levels of meaning: denotation, connotation, and myth/ideology (Barthes, 1976).

This study examines Coca- Cola’s advertising in Australia from a “glocalization” perspective, which refers to the integration of global brand image with local cultural elements (Roudometof, 2016). Through the analysis of Coca- Cola's image advertising in Australia, this paper explores how Coca- Cola's glocalization strategy in Australia balances global brand identity with real cultural performance.

As one of the world's most famous beverage brands, Coca Cola has a huge brand influence and sales volume. Its success is inseparable from its excellent business model and media input.

How to promote the global sales model while doing a good job in the glocalization of cultural cohesion is a topic worthy of in-depth study. Similarly, the brand also faces the challenge of balancing the relevance between the global image in advertising and the local culture (Banutu Gomez, 2012).

According to Sinclair (1991), it is very common that globalization forces brands to adopt marketing strategies to attract local markets. Brands use this strategy to maintain global consistency.

Coca Cola also incorporates local cultural symbols into its advertising to solve this problem. As far as Australia is concerned, the advertisements of the brand usually depict Australian cultural elements, such as the commonly used language "mates", pride Cultural Festival and football sports. However, as foster (2008) said, global brands often use local cultural symbols in the way of putting commercial interests above cultural authenticity. Therefore, it is necessary to study the visual cultural elements in their print ads in depth and rationally to verify the "global localization" of Coca Cola.

# data[].attributes.body
The sample consists of eight advertisements published in the past decade, collected from the official website of Coca Cola Australia and the official instagram platform of Coca Cola Australia. The choice of these advertisements is based on the integration of Australian cultural elements, such as language, local symbols and scenery.

1.The first level: identify symbols related to Australia at the denotation level and explain which patterns, slogans, and colors are used in the advertisement.

2.The second level:connotation, requires explaining the meaning of symbols and language, as well as their connection to local culture and emotions, and the cultural, historical, and social background of Australia.

3.The third level:myth/ideology, requires further analysis of how Coca Cola established its ideology and social power in cultural contexts.

Semiotic analysis shows that Coca Cola's image advertising in Australia skillfully integrates global brand elements with local cultural symbols. For example, many advertisements feature Australian Language and culture, iconic landscapes, and familiar local cultural festivals, such as "mates" beach parties and women's football sports events.

The emphasis on community participation has aroused strong resonance among Australian consumers. "Share a coke with someone" originated in Australia, which positions Coca Cola as a brand that embraces the local cultural values of Australia.

# data[].attributes.body
This study indicates that Coca Cola's glocalization strategy has been effectively expressed in image advertising in Australia. Through preliminary research, the use of local Australian symbols has enhanced consumer engagement and increased the sense of participation in local culture. However, current analysis is insufficient to make a discussion on glocalization, and further semiotic research is needed to explore these visual strategies to discuss the tension between cultural authenticity and commercial interests.
