Pepsi Marketing Case Study Chapter 14
1. Consider PepsiCo’s advertising throughout its history. Identify as many commonalities as possible across its various ad campaigns. How is this campaign consistent with PepsiCo’s brand image?
Through all the year they are having slogans about new generation and changing the world. New generation is young generation and Pepsi is for young people or for those who are thinking young. New generation is a choice. I can see expression new generation mentioned a lot of times
(1964–1967: "Come Alive, You're in the Pepsi Generation",
1984–1991: "Pepsi. The Choice of a New Generation",
1984–1988: "Diet Pepsi. The Choice of a New Generation",
1988–1989: "Diet Pepsi. The Taste That's Generations Ahead",
1997–1998: "Generation Next" (with the Spice Girls),
2009–present: "Refresh Everything"/"Every Generation Refreshes the World").
You can become more alive if you drink Pepsi. They are talking a lot about the choice (1984–1991: "Pepsi. The Choice of a New Generation",
1984–1988: "Diet Pepsi. The Choice of a New Generation",
1990–1991: "Yehi hai right choice Baby UH HUH" (meaning "This is the right choice Baby UH HUH"),
1992:"The Choice Is Yours").
Also the word change is often used in their slogan
(1996:"Change The Script",
2002: "Change the World" ,
2010–present "Pepsi. Sarap Magbago." (Philippines – meaning "It’s nice to change"),
2010–2011 "Badal Do Zamana" (Urdu – meaning "Change The World" by CALL),
2011–present: "Change the game").
The last world that they are using in recent years is refresh
(2009–present: "Refresh Everything"/"Every Generation Refreshes the World",
2009–present: "Refresca tu Mundo" (Spanish – meaning "Refresh your world"),
2010–present: "Every Pepsi Refreshes The World"). And also Pepsi Refresh Project.
PepsiCo is giving their message at the point of the purchase. Logo is written on cans, bottles and multipacks. Pepsi logo: a large circle with swath of red, white, and blue. That symbol replaces any “o” in Pepsi’s

    Coke vs Pepsi

    • 688 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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-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…

    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.…

    Ans: In the late 80s, Pepsi market share was catching up with Coca-cola at a great speed. Its main success was coming from a new marketing strategy, directing its focus on new generation consumers as well as hosting a series of commercials called “the Pepsi Challenge”, which is a taste test competition between Pepsi and Coke. The result of this test was in Pepsi’s advantage, it indicated that consumers prefer the taste of Pepsi more. This result made the Coca-cola company’ executives highly concerned and decided to revolutionize its flagship product by changing the taste of the Coke and introduced it as the “New Coke”. After the product was launched, consumers’ response was outrageous and the new product was a complete failure. Only a few months later, the company had to decide to bring its original product back, Coke classic.…

    April 13th 1992, PepsiCo introduced an exciting change to its popular Pepsi product in the test cities of Providence, Denver, and Dallas and called it Crystal Pepsi. This is believed by many to have been one of the best ideas that PepsiCo had ever came out with, as they simply removed any and all coloring from Pepsi, creating a healthier and visually stimulating product. During the 1980's, Madison Avenue advertisers created one of our society's most aberrant spectacles yet, the pinnacle of decades of pop culture and advertising prowess, The Cola Wars. In our technological, media-driven, consumer-happy, and product-driven culture, selling and consuming soda has certainly become one of our biggest American pastimes. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo squared off for decades in various advertising coups trying to sell more soda to the already overly indulgent American public. A seemingly easy goal, but these companies have tried everything from using pop-stars, bold and daring challenges and most recently the chance to win a billion dollars on national television just for drinking their products. Throughout the…

    Effective advertising is, almost always, persuasive advertising. While not all advertising seeks to persuade, in a competitive situation, those who best persuade are those most likely to win. (O’Shaughnessy) The advertisement strategy for Pepsi Cola has done a great deal of work to make it an all-time favorite. I feel like they use persuasion by making the consumer think that if they drink Pepsi, they will be youthful. However, in my opinion, the best strategies that they use are celebrity endorsements and slogans. They use the most famous celebrities, Beyonce Knowles, Ray Charles and the Uh-huh Girls (which I think we can all remember from growing up), Britney Spears, Lionel Richie, Bob Dole, and my personal favorite, Michael Jackson. And that is just naming a few. They also use very memorable slogans such as “Gotta Have It”, “Choice of a New Generation”, and “Nothing Else is Pepsi”. As I was trying to decide which commercials to analyze, it was a trip down memory lane. There are just so many Pepsi commercials that stand out to me. I finally chose to analyze the Pepsi “Gladiator” commercial, and Britney Spears’ “Joy of Pepsi” commercial that aired during the Super Bowl in 2001.…

    Pepsi has always been known for creating daring and unique advertisements. It is one of the most competitive carbonated beverage makers founded in 1898 by Caleb Bradham. From the beginning Pepsi has always tried to be two steps ahead of the times with their ads. With the 1990 Pepsi Pop Art Ad it creates a vivid take on its cans. This was the beginning of a new decade and new ideas had to come into play. Times were changing so companies had to be able to take risks.
