Case chapter 8
Coke Zero : Do real men drink diet coke ?
Case Analysis

1. Background :
The Coca Cola Company identified that no company was satisfying young men needs. Almost 10 years ago, Coke executives set out to change the by introducing Diet Coke and Diet Coke Plus, and in 2005 they launched a brand that defied the odds: Coke Zero.
The brand 's U.S. sales have consistently increased as the soft drink category has shrunk. Coke Zero has proven that young men would rather "spend" their calories on fast food than soft drinks.
The new product needed to taste a lot like regular Coke, and its packaging needed to evoke a subconscious masculinity. (Black -- good, white -- bad.) And its marketing needed to be a little slapstick and irreverent.

Coca-Cola Zero is a low-calorie (0.75 calories per liter) variation of Coca-Cola specifically marketed to men, who were shown to associate 'diet ' drinks with women.
The Coca-Cola Zero logo has generally featured the script Coca-Cola logo in red with white trim on a black background, with the word "zero" underneath in lower case in the geometric typeface Avenir (or a customized version of it). Some details have varied from country to country. The British logo, for example, originally had the "o" taking a spiral form. In the U.S., the letters decline in weight over the course of the word.
All versions of Coke Zero sold in various countries are based on the same flavoring formula, and all are carbonated and caffeinated (except caffeine free). 1 liter of Coke Zero contains 100 mg caffeine. However, the exact

    Coke Zero is targeted more at men trying to stay away from calories but not wanting to sacrifice taste. Diet Coke isn’t manly enough for most men to drink, also because men don’t want something that tastes like a diet drink. Benefit segmentation is mainly focused for Coke Zero.…

    The Coca-Cola Company knows it has to be creative if it’s going to sell more soda after sales dropped two years in a row in 2005 and 2006. Morgan Stanley analyst Bill Pecoriello explains, “Consumers are becoming ever more health-conscious, and the image of regular carbonated soft drinks is deteriorating rapidly.” In an attempt to appeal to consumers concerned with nutrition, Coke introduced Diet Coke Plus in 2007, a sweeter version of Diet Coke fortified with vitamins and minerals. But what they really needed was a way to reach young male consumers, and Diet Coke Plus, marketed with tag lines like “Your Best Friend Just Got Friendlier!” wasn’t going to do it.…

    Invented in Atlanta in 1886, the flagship Coca-Cola was the only beverage sold for almost 70 years. A bottler from Italy began selling Fanta Orange in 1955 in which we began our expansion. Since then we have added beverage selections in wider varieties along with portion sizes for our consumers as we believe every lifestyle, life stage and life occasion should be offered an assortment of beverages. Currently we sell over “500 beverage brands in over 200 countries which amounts to 3,500 beverages in numerous categories. These categories include regular, low-and no-calorie sparkling beverages, fruit juices and fruit drinks, bottled water, sports and energy drinks and ready-to-drink teas and coffee” (Worldofcoca-cola.com, 2014).…

    These types of segments Coca-Cola presents are effective in this type of market. This is because Coke notices there are men and women worried about their weight and diets, therefore you have the Dieters segment and the Real Men segment, and they also present the Do It Yourself segment which gives the opportunity to create coke, dieted or not along with caffeine free or not, and adding shots of lemon or lime. However I believe there is an additional segmentation that could be added. A segment for those who enjoy the flavored cokes, such as cherry coke, vanilla coke, or black cherry vanilla coke.…

    I don't think that Coke can stay up with changing tastes for non-cola drinks. I believe that Goizueta did have the right idea to develop new products, but Coke fell behind after some embarrassing problems within the company, such as the 1999 contamination scare, their slowing unit growth, ugly class action racial discrimination suit (which result in a $195.2 million settlement with 2000 employees), and an aborted takeover offer for Quaker Oats and its Gatorade Sports drink brand. Losing out to PepsiCo in the Gatorade battle left the company with a weakened strategy of beefing up its "fizless" soft drink products. Daft plans to launch coke's first U.S. coffee brand, Planet Java, but the problem now is that they have not dominated this market at all yet. The competition (Pepsi and Starbucks) are well established companies with very well recognized brand names. I think at this point, the most he can expect is for Coke to take half of the market share. For example, Sony came out with the first ‘walkman' portable tape player. If apple had come out with a walkman as well they could have expected to take over half the market at most. By creating the ipod, a completely original and different idea, they were able to take over the entire market. The difference here is that people personalize food and drink. It is hard to introduce new products because people become accustomed to what they like. When they consistently enjoy a certain product, there is a certain comfort level they have to that food or drink, and therefore people usually reject new products.…

    Coca-Cola possessing the finances to do so looked in a few directions first, before focusing its marketing team on one major project. First they already had a list of products that they give a greater financial backing toward as these products have proven their success. Then to lead the way they focused on one thing and that would be obesity. America is currently going through a crisis; people are looking for ways to say that they are at least trying to be healthy. Diet sodas have been proven not to fall in the health category. So Coca-Cola chooses to focus much attention on their Dasani, Glaceau Vitamin Water, Smart Water, and Coke Zero.…

    The Coca- Cola Company has many different types of products that are marketed towards certain demographics. One of Coca- Colas most popular carbonated drink is Diet coke. Diet Coke is marketed to consumers concerned with nutrition and looking for a low- calorie drink, specifically men when first introduced. Originally Coca Cola thought to Market the drink towards men, but due to the “feminine stigma” and aspartame- sweetened after taste that turned some consumers against the product .Diet Coke is currently marketed towards women who want to lose weight. Coke zero is designed to target consumers such as younger people. Coke Zero was designed to offer an alternative low calorie drink to people who didn’t really drink Coca- Cola classic or Diet Coke.

Full throttle blue demon, an energy drink with an azule flavor was designed to market towards Hispanic men. Most of the demographic segmentation that is most likely included in each products marketing for each type of drink is Gender, Age, Income level, and life style. Each demographic segmentation such as Gender and life style was described while reading about each product. One good example is Diet Coke. Since the word “diet” is used in the product name “Diet Coke” that attracts females because the word “diet” is used, but tended to turn away males, due to the drink having a reputation of a female…
