BRAND EQUITY MODEL

HOW THEY CREATED THE BRAND COCA COLA

HOW TO MANAGE BRAND EQUITY 

Brand Reinforcement:

Coca Cola came back as the strong drink that America loved so much  Brand Revitalization: Coca Cola goes back to the fun element to revitalize its brand from time to time

WHAT WAS COKE’S BRAND BUILDING STRATEGY?

WHERE DID COKE’S MEANING COME FROM?



The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf and the caffeine from kola nut, leading to the name Coca-Cola (the "K" in Kola was replaced with a "C" for marketing purposes)

WHAT COKE STOOD FOR THROUGH AGES ““The Pause that Refreshes” – 1929  “It's the Refreshing Thing to do” – 1936  "Global High Sign” – 1940  "Sign of Good Taste” & “Go Better Refreshed” – 1950  "Things Go Better with Coke" -1963  “It’s the real thing” - 1969  “Coke is it” - 1982 

HOW DID COKE’S MEANING MAKE A CONNECTION TO AMERICA AND TO CHRISTMAS? 



In 1931 Coke launched a print Ad campaign which gave a popular, uniform and widely accepted image to Santa Claus. The image of Santa Claus as the jolly old man was propagated by Coca Cola

IS THIS STRATEGY REPLICABLE IN TODAY’S MARKETING ENVIRONMENT? 





Yes. Even after 130 years after the launch of Coke this kind of Brand Building strategy is still replicable in today’s market. However such kind of efforts from the company requires lots of investment in terms of money and time This will take a lot of effort and time and a lot of imagination by the brand managers of today

WHAT MAJOR FACTOR DO YOU THINK CAUSES THE FAILURE OF NEW COKE? Failure to recognize the brand loyalty  Did not need to fix something as the taste of coca cola was what was preferred by the consumers The brand of coca cola was more than just a cold drink, it refers to the sentiments  Marketing research ought to have factored in the effect of discontinuation of old coke 

WHAT THREATS TO THE CULTIVATION OF BRAND MEANING DOES THE CASE REVEAL? Organizations not aware of their actual brand equity  Highlighting its unique factors  Tampering with the most important Differentiator(in this case, the taste)  Over-stressing on any particular promotion 
