6. 1. Brief History
• Coca-Cola was invented in May 1886 by Dr. John S. Pemberton in
Atlanta, Georgia.

Frank Robinson. He kept the name Coca-Cola in the flowing script
that is famous today.
• In 1891, Atlanta entrepreneur Asa G. Candler had acquired complete
ownership of the Coca-Cola business, whose marketing tactics led
Coke to its dominance of the world soft drink market throughout the
20th century.
• Within four years, his merchandising flair helped expand consumption
of Coca-Cola to every state and territory. Under Robert W. Woodruff
six decades of leadership, The Coca-Cola Company took leadership,
the business to unrivaled heights of commercial success, making
Coca-Cola an institution the world over.

17. Coca-Cola, which was created by Georgia-based pharmacist John Stith
Pemberton on March 29, 1886. However, Coca-Cola is not the only drink with
such an odd history, much alone the only well-known American product. Here are
six more brief medical biographies along with a futuristic dispatch.
Lysol was…birth control
Lysol's product was advertised for many years as a
technique to destroy sperm.
Graham Crackers were a purity snack
Graham thought that bland foods like plain flour would
calm the body's excitation levels and help people retain
their mental and physical chastity.
Fig Newtons were a digestive aid
It was believed that a daily snack of fruit and biscuits was
what really kept the doctor away in 1891

18. Kotex pads were World War I-era bandages
Kotex is a name that is now closely associated with
menstrual pads. However, this substance stopped a
distinct form of hemorrhage in 1914
Gin and tonic prevented malaria
Malaria is a really awful illness. It is brought on by a
tiny parasite that is spread by an infected mosquito
and results in fever, chills, and occasionally even
death.
Multivitamins were “good for your health”
Multivitamins are regrettably about as reliable as
Coca-nerve Cola's tonic.

20. What is Coca cola Trade Secret
Trade secrets are original discoveries or
information with commercial significance that is
not generally recognized. As long as the trade
secret is maintained, it can protect it.
• There are two types of trade secret:
1. Inventions that are not sufficiently inventive
to meet the criteria for patentability.
2. Inventions that are patentable and you have
the option to patent it or keep it a trade secret.

• Naturally, Coca-Cola has had to
adapt all of its marketing
campaigns to real-world events.
They did this particularly well with
the ‘Holidays Are Coming’
campaign in December 2020,
responding to the Coronavirus
pandemic.
29. 2
• ‘Share a Coke’ was launched in 2013 and 2014, with
Coca-Cola’s marketing proving the effectiveness of
personalisation. This campaign saw Coca-Cola GB replace
its iconic logo on its bottles with the nation’s most popular
names.
• The drinks company also gave people their chance to
personalise their own bottles of Coca-Cola at the Share a
Coke tour.
29
Best Marketing Campaign
IX
People went wild for finding their
own names on bottles, taking them
home as a supermarket memento.
Subsequently, it boosted the brand’s
social media channels with over 18
million media impressions, and
Facebook traffic increased by 870%,
with page ‘likes’ growing by 39%.
31. 3
• This campaign creatively united Coca-
Cola, Diet Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero,
and Coca-Cola Life under one iconic
slogan, ‘Taste the Feeling’. This
campaign was brought in to replace the
‘Open Happiness’ campaign which had
run for seven years previously.
• The main aim of this campaign was to change the perception of the drinks brand. The campaign
encouraged customers to enjoy drinking Coca-Cola based on the message: "The simple pleasure
of drinking any Coca-Cola makes the moment more special."
