...such as Coca-Cola and McDonalds do not need to waste profits on advertising as they already have a vast and loyal customer base. Student ID: 0080379103 Student Name: Jing SUN Word count: 1639 The role of advertising in the developments of brand image and brand extension in established companies. Utilizing advertising in a most effective and efficient way is always a concern in most companies, as advertising requires a costly investment in both capital and human resources, which in return is expected to create positive outcomes. With a large volume of consumers and brand loyalties created in established, some argue that advertising can be merely a waste of money. While this idea addresses two major outcomes of conducting advertisement, attracting potential consumers and building brand loyalty, it ignores other contributions, for example, brand extension and brand image building, that could be enhanced by advertising in established companies. This essay will illustrate the reason why advertising is required in established companies, focusing on how appropriate advertising may contribute to developing brand extension and enhancing brand image. First of all, the informative function and social function of advertising will be interpreted. The following sections will demonstrate why large companies should focus on building up brand image and developing brand extension and how advertising contributes to these two dimensions. Then, the negative impact of advertising that advertisement...

...many years, Coca Cola and Pepsi have enjoyed the position as the two most enjoyed soft drinks in the USA, as they have maintained their popularity over the past several decades. One can divide soft drink fans into two major camps: Coke-lovers and Pepsi-lovers. Each of the camps substantiates its favoritism not only on flavor, but also on ideas, facts, and preferences that justify its choice and allow it to stay true to its selection. The following analysis of the history of Pepsi and Coca Cola explores Pepsi and Coke with an emphasis on advertising and cultural significance of these efforts, discovering what makes these soft drinks so popular and what differentiates them from each other. What emerges is that there is little in the way of differences between Coke and Pepsi outside of different cultural histories. There are many similarities between Coca Cola and Pepsi and the history of Coca Cola is nothing like the history of Pepsi outside of the fact that both companies were advertising soda. Both were intended to serve as recreational drinks associated with parties, fun, sex, and entertainment. The two drinks have just about the same color, the same amount of carbon dioxide, and have a similar taste. While in the past they both used different natural extracts from the coca nut, nowadays they both rely on artificial flavors and man-made components (Pendergrast 87). Taste tests between Coca Cola and Pepsi are as iconic as the beverages themselves and the advertising history of...

...U06a1 – Integrated Global Marketing Case Study The Coca-Cola Company Terry D. Copeland Capella University MBA 6012 June 28, 2013 Company Selection and Overview The Coca-Cola Company (Coca-Cola) was first established in 1886 by Dr. John Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. Initially distributed at Jacobs’ Pharmacy for five cents a glass, the fledgling company sold just nine glasses of Coca-Cola a day for the first year (Coca-Cola, 2013). By 1891, Atlanta businessman Asa Candler, a prolific salesman, acquired the rights to the business for $2300; and as the company’s first president, his vision to transform Coca-Cola from an invention into a national brand was set in motion. He immediately recognized the potential of the new company and began to implement the marketing strategy that propelled Coca-Cola to its current standing as the world’s leading manufacturer in the beverage industry producing over 500 brands in over 200 countries with an estimated 1.8 billion servings consumed per day all over the world (Coca-Cola, 2013). Candler initially gave away coupons for complimentary first tastes, and outfitted distributing pharmacies with clocks, urns, calendars, and apothecary scales bearing the same red and white Coca-Cola script brand that remains as the world’s number one brand to this day (Coca-Cola, 2013). People saw the Coca-Cola brand everywhere, and by 1895, Candler had built syrup plants in Chicago, Dallas...

...firms can use this model to better understand the industry context in which the firm operates. In this paper I will use the five force model, as a Coca-Cola Company Business Manager to understand the Cola industry and try and develop an edge over rival firms. We will discuss each of the models individually and develop an understanding of where Coca Cola stands. Threat of New Entrants: Penetrating the soft drink industry is hard because of the established name of Coca-Cola and the other following reasons: Brand Image: Coca Cola invests enormous amount of money in marketing and advertising which has led to customer loyalty all over the world. People might not recognize Bill Gates or Warren Buffett if they are on a television show, but even a child who cannot read will recognize Coca Cola on television. We ran into a similar situation in the class room when the professor recognized a can of Coca Cola without even looking at the name printed on it. This makes it next to impossible for a new entrant to get in the market and compete with Coca Cola. Advertising: As mentioned above Coca Cola spend enormous amount of money on marketing and advertising, in 2011 alone the company spent $3.3 billion which makes it exceptionally hard for a new competitor to compete and gain visibility in the market. Retail and Global Distribution: Coca Cola in combination with its bottling partners has an extraordinary global distribution network, with that the advantage of economies of scale creates a...

...Coca – Cola’s history in brief: Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants, and vending machines in more than 200 countries. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia. Coca-Cola Enterprises, established in 1986, is a young company by the standards of the Coca-Cola system. Yet each of its franchises has a strong heritage in the traditions of Coca-Cola that is the foundation for this company. The Coca-Cola company traces it’s beginning to 1886, when an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John Pemberton, began to produce Coca-Cola syrup for sale in fountain drinks. However the bottling business began in 1899 when two Chattanooga businessmen, Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. White head, secured the exclusive rights to bottle and sell Coca-Cola for most of the United States from The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola bottling system continued to operate as independent, local businesses until the early 1980s when bottling franchises began to consolidate. In 1986, The Coca-Cola Company merged some of its company-owned operations with two large ownership groups that were for sale, the John T.Lupton franchises and BCI Holding Corporation's bottling holdings, to form Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. The Company offered its stock to the public on November 21, 1986, at a split-adjusted price of $5.50 a share. On an annual basis, total unit case sales were 880,000 in 1986. In December 1991, a merger between Coca-Cola Enterprises and the Johnston...

...Abenaa S. Ampratwum Professor Hunt Marketing W360 Case 2 [pic] Coca-Cola Launches New Advertising Campaign Advertising plays a role in consumer marketing by creating significant brand awareness. Generally, studies show that the more businesses spend on advertising and promotion as a percentage of sales, the higher their level of brand awareness. The Coca-Cola Company has had many advertising campaigns since its inception in 1886. These campaigns have captured facets of our daily lives. The campaigns have ranged from “Catch the Wave and “Red, white and you” in 1986, “Can't beat the feeling” in 1998, “Can't beat the real thing” in 1989 through to 1992, “Always. Coca-Cola” in 1993 and “Coca-Cola Enjoy” in 1999. In 2001, Coca-Cola launched its current campaign “Life Tastes Good” The competitive challenge for Coca-Cola is to keep its brand on a top of mind basis with consumers. According to Advertising Age, the top five brands in terms of advertising including Coca-Cola, spend $3 billion or more each year despite the fact that they are already among the world’s most recognized names. In the contemporary marketing environment, companies must determine the social/ psychological/ marketing propensities of their prospects and then allocate dollars to the various components of the marketing communications mix. Coca-Cola has a very detailed marketing strategy to align its brands with audiences of commercials. Coke first determines whether an idea...
