    Coke vs Pepsi

    Coke and Pepsi have always been rival beverages for decades. I can remember my teens when most households would divide into two when it came to choosing their choice of drink, especially when going for grocery shopping. Even the advert aired by both brands shows a lot of rivalries between them. When one makes a new product, the other would do everything possible to make something similar or better than the former. Making people, both old and young believe their product is the best. When comparing the two beverages, there’s a major thing we normally notice from their commercials, while Coca-Cola Company uses families and animal in most of their commercial ads relating to peoples society, Pepsi Company uses different super stars and celebrities to sell their product worldwide. However, as coke uses their ethos in targeting both the old and young generation, Pepsi target mostly today’s youth in their adverts.…

    PEPSI: Refresh Project
The social-media-driven campaign from TBWA/Chiat/Day, L.A., which saw the marketer divert its Super Bowl budget toward social causes, has been one of the most -- dare we say -- important brand efforts of the year. Demonstrating what a reallocation of a portion of a mega media budget could do, the campaign ended this year with nearly three billion media impressions, 51 million votes from a broad demographic sample and millions given to worthwhile grassroots causes. The campaign has been a massive success in terms of awareness and -- say Pepsi bottlers, no less -- palpable goodwill toward the brand.…

    Pepsi-Cola began as a drink developed by a pharmacist named Caleb Bradham in his drugstore in 1893. The soft drink was made to be a tonic to aid in digestion and as a refreshing drink that gives an energy boost. This concoction made of pepsin and kola nuts was originally called “Brad’s Drink” named after its inventor, but was later changed to Pepsi-Cola to be more marketable. Originally, this beverage was sold in drug stores and at soda fountains, but was later sold in bottled form to facilitate mass distribution. The Great Depression was a major setback for many American companies and there was no exception for Pepsi. However, the company strived to remain strong and offered its product for five cents in the mid thirties while touting that their product offered twice as much for half the price of Coke’s product. During this time their ad campaigns and marketing tactics worked and their company continued to remain profitable despite a harsh economic climate. Pepsi marketed its products to virtually everyone, young and old, but they often utilized creative marketing tactics to entice new customers to try their products. In the mid 1940’s Pepsi began a marketing campaign to gain more popularity with African American customers whom the company decided where not getting adequate attention with regards to marketing and advertising. PepsiCo today now has interests in many different brands and product lines. Some of their most notable brands familiar to consumers today are Pepsi-Cola, Frito-Lays, SoBe, Tostitos, Sabra, Near East, Pasta Roni, Sun Chips, Cheetos, Quaker, Doritos, Sierra Mist, and Dole to name a few. There is an even more diverse product portfolio that includes products marketed to international consumers to suit their individual tastes. The major suppliers for Pepsi-Cola Company include packaging…

    For decades Pepsi has defined itself through the wizardry of the slogan, the jingle and the storyboard and all that a succession of four ad agencies has spun from them. One hundred years after New Bern, N.C., druggist Caleb Bradham called it Pepsi-Cola (actually, Caleb Cola would have had a nice ring and spared Mr. Bradham the necessity of buying out an existing trademark, Pep-Kola, for the princely sum of $100), this worldly and sophisticated company still succumbs to the temptation to see itself as the ``feisty newcomer'' struggling in the shadow of tradition and Americana cast by ``the competitor.''

    The origins of Pepsi-cola started in the late 1890s through an invention by Caleb Bradham, a pharmacist, who like all pharmacist had soda fountains in their store. His most famous concoction was a soda that contained pepsin. This was initially called brads drink before he changed the name to Pepsi. Over the years subsequent mergers and acquisitions Pepsi-cola merged with Frito-Lays, and a new company, PepsiCo, was created. Currently, PepsiCo is divided into four divisions: Frito-Lay North America, PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA), PepsiCo International (PI) and Quaker Foods North America (QFNA). The Pepsi Bottling Group is the company that packages and distributes Pepsi products (Pepsico, 2008).…

    At the time, I never thought it strange that I wanted one, too. After having absorbed sixteen years of Coca-Cola propaganda through everything from NBC’s Saturday morning cartoon lineup to the concession stand at Camden Yards (the Baltimore Orioles’ ballpark), I associated the shirt with singing along to the “Just for the Taste of It” jingle and with America’s favorite pastime, not with a brown fizzy beverage I refused to consume. When I later realized the immensity of Coke’s corporate power, I felt somewhat duped and manipulated, but that didn’t stop me from wearing the shirt. I still don it often, despite the growing hole in the right sleeve, because of its power as a conversation piece. Few Americans notice it without asking something like “Does that say Coke?” I usually smile and nod. Then they mumble a one-word compliment and we go our separate ways. But rarely do they want to know what language the internationally recognized logo is written in. And why should they? They are interested in what they can relate to as Americans: a familiar red-and-white logo, not a foreign language. Through nearly a century of brilliant advertising strategies, the…

    Initially introduced in Atlanta Georgia in 1886.Coca Cola is one of the most predominate soft drinks of all time. The successes of Coca Cola were not without failures. The reformulation of Coke’s flagship may have been one of the worst product failures of all time. However, this disaster may have begun stemming way before the introduction of New Coke. Coca Cola had been battling with Pepsi Cola since Pepsi’s introduction in 1903. Until just after World War II, Coca Cola had a commanding 60% market share1. Pepsi’s superior management decisions and marketing mix with the aging of the baby boomers enabled them to close the gap in the soft drink market segment. As the baby boomers got older and more health conscious coca cola began to lose market share. Pepsi, which was already the favorable product for the younger less health conscious soft drink users, began to target more niche markets such as the African American market. However, one of the big contributors to closing the market share gap was selling at a lower, market penetrating, price during The Great Depression by selling 12 oz bottles for a nickel while Coca Cola continued selling 6 oz bottles for the same price. Pepsi, adjusted better to their external environment by delivering value to their customers and Coca Cola suffered because of this2. Coca Cola felt that their time was running out with much of their brand loyal customer base aging and Pepsi controlling the younger more favorable segment. Pepsi’s youth focused positioning was getting better and better especially with their “Pepsi Challenge” marketing campaign in 1975. This campaign aimed to develop the belief that this is now the ‘Pepsi Generation’. This campaign was extremely successful because it called Coca Cola the reigning market leader out on it’s taste. Pepsi heavily marketed the results of this challenge to the public in exclamation that the Pepsi Generation has finally arrived3. Coca Cola tried firing back with an ad campaign…

    The successful ‘Do the Dew’ campaign of the PepsiCo soft drink Mountain Dew was in its eighth year. As, the marketing managers realized that the tag line had lost consumer interests, they changed the direction of the creative. The target market for Mountain Dew, however, remained the same. Mountain Dew’s ad campaign between 1995 and 1999 did not fare extremely well. A new marketing concept must be developed to rejuvenate consumer appeal towards Mountain Dew. In 2000 PepsiCo decided that Mountain Dew would be featured during the Super Bowl rather than Pepsi. This was an enormous feat, as the Super Bowl had been an influential event for advertisers for decades. It was already October 1999 for the marketing executives and decisions had to be made to get the production started. Only three advertisements were going to be chosen, two to be played during the Super Bowl and all three throughout the year 2000. There were ten initial concepts proposed and which were whittled down to five finalists.…

    Coca-Cola began working with franchised bottles to be made available wherever and whenever a consumer might want it. It also initiated “lifestyle” advertising, emphasizing the role of Coke in a consumer’s life. In the early 1970s, the US soft-drinks market was on the verge of maturity, and as the major players, Coke and Pepsi offered products that 'looked the same and tasted the same,’ substantial market share growth seemed unlikely. However, Coke and Pepsi kept revitalizing the market through product modifications and pricing/promotion/distribution tactics. The soft drink industry sold to consumers through five principal channels: food stores, convenience and gas, fountain, vending, and mass merchandisers.…

Pepsi is for everyone and that Pepsi alone can refresh or change the world. Many slogans have to deal with being young as well as being in the future.
