Coca Cola Brand Positioning and DifferentiationSara Amjad
Coca Cola has achieved brand positioning as a refreshing, everyday part of life through consistent branding and marketing over 130+ years. It was initially marketed as a patent medicine but is now positioned as refreshing and for sharing moments with family and friends. Key factors in its positioning include maintaining a consistent 5 cent price for 70 years, innovative packaging, and widespread promotional campaigns like "The Pause That Refreshes" and more recent "Open Happiness" campaigns. While Pepsi positions as encouraging living in the moment, Coca Cola's positioning focuses on being an integral part of everyday life. Coca Cola also differentiates through its product line, culturally tailored drinks, focus on water purity and quality, and flexible business
Coca-Cola introduced a new sweeter formula for Coke in 1985, called New Coke. This was the first change to Coke's formula in 99 years. However, consumers strongly protested the change and felt their bond with the original Coke was broken. Only 11 days after launching New Coke, Coca-Cola started reverting back to the original formula, which they re-introduced as "Coca-Cola Classic". The New Coke fiasco demonstrated that brands take on greater meaning beyond just the product, and that consumers offer loyalty in exchange for consistency from brands they trust. Coca-Cola learned that tampering with iconic brands can severely damage the relationship with consumers.
Coca-Cola is consumed globally and was found to be popular due to its taste rather than peer pressure. It is affordable worldwide and comes in various sizes. Coke has been successfully advertised for 50 years through TV commercials and catchy slogans. It also engages in charitable giving during disasters. Though many varieties exist under the Coca-Cola brand, the core product is recognized by 94% of the world's population and 10,450 drinks are consumed every second globally.

4. Caxao Chocolates
A meeting
• 2005: Creation of her first brand Xocoatl
• 2007 : Creation of Caxao Chocolates
“In my personal journey and education, learning from great masters was a must, that’s why once
I had the opportunity to travel to France, training with one of the best pastry chefs and
chocolatiers, such a Pierre Hermé, became a obsession”
An authentic connection
• Being a Mexican, it was natural for Beatriz to work with a raw material from her native country
and to make of it a sweet she could offer to her adoptive country

Two main movements

more competitive

A retraining
• 2006: Peter Brydon and his wife launch Barlovento Chocolate after a career in printing
A state of mind
• Use of natural and regional products. The lemon used in his Meyers Lemon Zest dark ganache
comes from his clients’ gardens
« I started working with chocolate because of the organic dried cherries I found at my local
Farmers Market. If I had not found those dried cherries ( moist, glossy, excellant flavor ) I would
not be a chocoltier today. (…) For our Meyer Lemon Zest we take the concept a step furthur. We
source all our lemons from our customers at the Farmers Markets »

18. Esprit Chocolat – Lauranie Nonotte
After working for 6 years in the press & PR industry during which
time she worked with several companies as a PR consultant, I
created Esprit Chocolat, thus turning my passion into a career.
After a tour of cocoa plantations in Mexico followed by a fact-finding
visit to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2006 to research new
chocolatiers, I created Esprit Chocolat, a company specialized in
the organization of chocolate tastings and chocolate tours.
I currently work in partnership with top gourmet chocolate
manufacturers in Paris, provincial France and overseas.
My primary ambition is to share my passion for chocolate as well
as doing my utmost to promote superior quality chocolate, made
from raw materials cultivated with methods that respect the
environment and the labour of individuals, and selected by
manufacturers and chocolatiers themselves.
Photo:Raphaël Hache With my chocolate tastings and chocolate tours, I take you on a
journey through a world of unsuspected pleasure and discovery.
