...clubbers and snowboarders. This anti-establishment stance found synergy with consumers, even after it was cleared for sale. It quickly spread into neighbouring countries and into the US market (Franzen and Moriarty, 2009). Dahlen, Lange and Smith (2010) note that by 2004, it had gained 40% share of its market sector and 70% in Europe. However, the brand still faced problems; it was banned in Denmark and France following unsubstantiated rumours that people had died from drinking the product in Sweden and Ireland (Mail Online, 2001). The European market was stagnating, and it faced distribution problems from companies supporting their own-brand products. The ever-present competition from Pepsi and Coca-Cola limited the scope for expansion. With these pressures, the company developed a marketing strategy that avoided mainstream advertising, instead focusing on grass-roots promotion. The product was sold in trendy nightclubs and bars, and the credibility of those held in high regard by the young target...

...Strategy Q1: Assessment of environmental issues affecting Coca Cola Provide a detailed assessment of the environmental issues affecting Coca Cola global business and marketing strategy. Given guidance in terms of opportunities or threats they may pose for the company in the future. Lo; illustrate how marketing decisions are affected by various forces in the external business environment “WATER is to Coca-Cola as clean energy is to BP.” So declares Jeff Seabright, Coca-Cola's manager of environmental affairs, when asked about the firm's new global water strategy. The fizzy-drinks maker unveiled that strategy as part of its annual environmental report, released this week. “We need to manage this issue or it will manage us,” says Mr Seabright. At first sight, the analogy with oil may seem odd, but it is not so far-fetched. Big Oil has long been the target of activists clamouring for action on global warming. BP stole a march on its oily brethren by accepting that climate change is a real problem, making smallish investments in clean energy, and grandly proclaiming itself “beyond petroleum”. Coca-Cola has also been targeted by activists, but over the issue of water rather than energy. The firm has been hit hardest in India. First, experts from Delhi's Centre for Science and Environment, a green think-tank, tested various soft drinks and determined that they contained high levels of pesticide. It turned out that Coca-Cola was not the cause of the problem. But its inept handling...

...REVITALIZING A BRAND INTRODUCTION In the 1990s, Snapple Corporation was one of the leading “New Age” beverage brands when the category was just beginning to take off. With the combination of a unique product, package design, and quirky advertising, the company grew form a regional underground favorite toa nationally recognized brand. Snapple’s rise in the beverage industry was crowned in 1994, when the Quaker Oats Company purchased Snapple for $1.7 billion. Quaker expected to make Snapple a major player in the industry, as it had done with GAatorade. However, the company was unable to capitalize on the brand’s previous success. In 1997, Quaker sold Snapple to Triarc Beverage Group for $300 million. Triarc faced a number of challenges, including reversing the sales slide, revamping the distribution system, and creating new products that will enable growth. Most importantly, Triarc had to find a way to reconnect the brand with its consumers. Triarc successfully resurrected the Snapple brand, and in 2000 sold Snapple to Cadbury Schweppes for $1.45 billion. Cadbury Schweppes then faced the challenge of maintaining Snapple’s brand strength in an increasingly competitive beverage environment. THE EMERGENCE OF SNAPPLE The roots of Snapple Corporation date back to 1972 in Brooklyn, New York when brothers-in-law, Leonard Marsh and Hyman Golden, left their window-washing business and teamed up with Marsh’s childhoAod friend and health food store owner Arnold Greenberg to sellpure...

Introduction Social Value of Brand is defined for users as the extent to which people share information about a brand as part of their everyday social lives according to Michael Bartl and for companies, it is the share of brand’s equity which result from social interaction among brand users. It occurs when there is interface between consumers and the brand. Nowadays, consumers are more interconnected with value of the brand they consumed and see different aspects with it.

...the Dew” campaign that had catapulted Mountain Dew to the number three position in its category. With his partner, art director Doris Cassar, Bruce had developed ten new creative concepts for Mountain Dew’s 2000 advertising to present to PepsiCo management. Gathered in the room to support Bruce and Cassar were BBDO senior executives Jeff Mordos (Chief Operating Officer), Cathy Israelevitz (Senior Account Director), and Ted Sann (Chief Creative Officer). Each of the three executives had over a decade of experience working on Mountain Dew. Representing PepsiCo were Scott Moffitt (Marketing Director, Mountain Dew), Dawn Hudson (Chief Marketing Officer, and a former senior ad agency executive), and Gary Rodkin (Chief Executive Officer, Pepsi Cola North America). Scott Moffitt scribbled notes as he listened to Bruce speak. Moffitt and the brand managers under him were charged with day-to-day oversight of Mountain Dew marketing. These responsibilities included brand strategy, consumer and sales promotions, packaging, line extensions, product changes, and sponsorships. But for Moffitt and the senior managers above him, the most important decisions of the year were made in conference rooms with BBDO creatives. Each of the ads would cost over a million dollars to produce. But the production costs were minor compared to the $55 million media budget that would be committed to air these spots. Historically, PepsiCo management had learned that selecting the right...

...doughnuts per hour. In 1954, Mike Harding joined Rudolph as business partner in order to facilitate the expansion of the company. Both men realized that the quality of their products stemmed from having control over each aspect of the doughnut making process. If each item included the set amount of ingredients, was baked to perfection, and served hot to hungry customers, then all Krispy Kreme shops were to meet great success. Harding became the company’s president in 1958, and then went on to become chief executive officer after Rudolph’s death in 1973. Under both men, Krispy Kreme’s revenues grew from less than $1 million in 1958 to $58 million by 1974. In 1976, the company was bought by Beatrice Foods who decided to change the recipe, the 1950’s look of the doughnut shops, of course, the logo. Beatrice foods decision to modernized Krispy Kreme was received negatively by customers. In an effort to revive the company, a group of franchisee’s bought Krispy Kreme from Beatrice Foods for $22 million in a leveraged buyout in 1982. The original recipe and logo was restored and sales rebounded, however the high interest rates of the 1980’s made the buyout debt hard to pay off. In the early 1990’s Scott Livengood, who had previously joined the company in 1978 rose through the ranks and was made CEO of Krispy Kreme by 1998. Concerned with slumping sales, Livengood set the company on a path to success by instating...
