Contents[hide] * 1 History * 2 Products * 3 Innocent Foundation * 4 Controversy * 4.1 Product recall * 4.2 Advertising claims * 4.3 Charitable donations * 5 References * 6 External links | [edit] History Innocent was founded by three Cambridge University graduates, Richard Reed, Adam Balon and Jon Wright, then working in consulting and advertising. The three were friends at St John's College, Cambridge. In 1999, after spending six months working on smoothie recipes and £500 on fruit, the trio sold their drinks from a stall at a music festival in London. People were asked to put their empty bottles in a 'yes' or 'no' bin depending on whether they thought the three should quit their jobs to make smoothies. At the end of the festival the 'YES' bin was full, with only three cups in the 'NO' bin, so they went to their work the next day and resigned. After quitting their jobs, the three struggled to find investment, but eventually had a lucky break when Maurice Pinto, a wealthy American businessman, decided to invest £250,000.[2] In total, it took fifteen months from the initial idea to taking the product to market.[3] On 6 April 2009, Innocent Drinks announced on its website an agreement to sell a stake of 10-20% to The Coca-Cola Company, with the three founders retaining operational control for...

...A study on perception of soft drinks and fast foods advertisements and its impact on youth lifestyle and eating habits Today it is a matter of great pride to see that India as a nation stands with a population of 1,166,079,217 (July 2009) and out of which two-third of the population lies below 35 years of age. India is considered as one of the youngest nation in the world. According to various national and international organisations the age group of youth generally lies between 15-35 years. This vulnerable group is being highly influenced by the advertising industry whose focus has shifted from family and elderly to youth and kids. With the increased employment of youngsters due to the entry of BPO’s, KPO’s, MNC’s in the Indian sub-continent, marketers have got a new set of potential buyers in the form of young and restless .

...Coca-Cola Business Plan Student Name Class College December 2, 2014 “Because so many organizational processes and outcomes depend on making good decisions, including business strategy, product design, and customer interactions, understanding how to make the best decisions will make you a more effective professional and manager” (Phillips & Gully, 2014, p. 290). Coca-Cola has created a name for itself in the soft drink industry that cannot be utterly disposed of. Coca-Cola has created a highly demanded and successful product, yet with the changing times, has in addition made a name for itself in providing a product not entirely respectable of the health and well-being of its customers. Thus, Coca-Cola joins the ranks of many firms knowingly providing a product that offers inherent health risks to its consumers and threatens to operate on border-line ethical practices. Coca-Cola cannot reverse the operations that have already taken place, however we can improve upon their name and future products. There is potential to implement a corrective strategy because the organization is one of past, present and perceivable future. Coca-Cola is a brand that has been around since 1886 and has always been able to provide a product that consumers want. Although the brand has focused on optimistic marketing strategies through great slogans and creating consumer attention, there needs to be a focus on wellness. The reality is that we are in an ever-changing world and it currently...

(11). One of the first companies to become involved in the new act was the Coca-Cola Company which represents an internationally recognized brand product.

Whitley had filed for protection under the whistleblower provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Whistle-blower protection is not new, but the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for the first time provided a system of protection for employees of publicly owned businesses. The need for such a law was evidenced by the abuses and wrongdoings at Enron and other companies.
