Summary of Report
Pepsi-Cola brand is a brand that has been established within the refreshment industry since the 19th century. Pepsi pride the business of consumer products in beverages and snacks, on being one of the best in the world. They seek to produce financial rewards for investors providing opportunity and growth for their employees, business partners and the community they operate in. Pepsi strives to make core values the basis of everything they do; honesty, fairness and integrity.
The reason that this research process has been conducted is to determine the brand loyalty that is held with Generation Y for the Pepsi Cola brand.
