Case Analysis of the Business case provided by Harvard business school; on the well-known consumer goods brand named Procter and Gamble (P&G).This case study shows how P&G excelled in reaching out to customers by various methods and advanced techniques. Further, the presentation tells about the journey of marketing progress made by P&G.
The document discusses the advertising strategies of Coca-Cola and Pepsi in global and local markets. It notes that both companies spend billions annually on advertising, representing a significant percentage of their revenues. The soft drink industry is highly competitive, so brands rely on advertising and branding to sustain their market position. While Coca-Cola and Pepsi are global powerhouse brands, their advertising campaigns have localized over time in India to connect with local audiences and cultural contexts. Localization of branding is a key strategy given lack of product differentiation.
This document analyzes the brand marketing techniques of P&G and PepsiCo. It discusses several brands from each company, including Tide, Old Spice, and Gillette from P&G, and Mountain Dew, Gatorade, and Quaker Oats from PepsiCo. For each brand, it examines the target demographics and the executional frameworks and appeals used in marketing, such as animation, demonstration, humor, and emotion. It finds that both companies tailor their marketing strategies for each brand based on the target audience. Their effective use of different frameworks and appeals for each diverse brand portfolio has contributed to the companies' marketing and financial success.

4. In the present day situa on, new products appear in the market constantly. Several
successful brands have given great importance to the design of the business as a whole,
than just the func onal aspects of the business. Extensive brand research and market

one smoothie brand in the market in 2003 when the UK smoothie market was worth 69
million. The brand drowned by the end of 2008 when the market was worth almost 150
million.
In this case study, an analysis has been made on what went wrong in terms of PJ's design
management and strategy; why the brand failed and how it could have been saved with
be erdesigndevelopment.
INTRODUCTION
It takes more than the product itself for a successful brand to be created.

5. PJ's was established in 1994 by Harry Cragoe and Patrick Folks and was originally marketed
as Pete and Johnny's Smoothies. The founders were trying to create a product language
similar to that of Ben n Jerry's, but unlike Ben and Jerry's, Pete and Johnny's are mythical
charactersinventedbythefounders.
PJ's had the advantage of being the first smoothie brand in the UK. They started selling
the product in just 12 stores in 1994, and by 1998 opened its first factory in the UK (before
which,manufacturingwasatCalifornia).
In 2003, they were the first to launch a smoothie product targeted at children – Froo es,
and were also the first smoothie brand to appear on television. The founders invested 4
million pounds into developing the brand and by 2004 they had become the number one
smoothie brand in the UK. In 2005, the growing success of PJ's Smoothies was taken over
byPepsiCo.

6. Innocent Drinks, a new brand of smoothie was quickly taking the
market share away from PJ's with its product language, branding and

8. Consumers feel more a ached to a brand or product when they have a
personalconnec onestablishedwithit
In the case of Ben n Jerry's, the product is named a er the founders and
hence consumers make a connec on with the brand and its founders. The
Ben n Jerry brand, have a lot of anecdotes that make up the brand image for
itscustomers.
Ben and Jerry were fun‐loving, impulsive and playful ‐ quali es that are
designed into the brand image, making consumers connect with the
founders and hence remain loyal to the brand. PJ's on the other hand, did
not add a personal touch to the brand image and hence customers would

10. A survey conducted on prices of smoothies (Anon. 2008) showed that most of the customers were hesitant to buy smoothies as they
wereexpensive.Basedonthisresearch, PJ'sloweredtheirpricesby30%.
“The reposi oning follows a series of successful trials conducted last year. One major mul ple saw sales of PJ's Smoothies more than
double when one liter cartons were price marked at £1.99. The new price points have been achieved by focusing on four great tas ngth

11. Since the brands acquisi on by Pepsi co. in 2005, the drink had been in
rapid decline. A seventy percent drop in sales was recorded ‐ from £1.3
Million to £396,000 in 24 weeks to 7 September, according to TNS
figures(n.d.)
Innocent's marke ng strategies and brand image were rapidly growing
and in 2008, the company was responsible for 73% of the smoothie
market. Other strong brands like Naked juice, Jamba Juice, Tesco

PJ's weak approach towards design strategy failed to compete with
the growing market trends and as a result, Pepsi co. decided to scrap

12. In the Product Life Cycle graph, it is seen that up un l 2004, there was a good upward growth in the sales PJ's. 2004 to 2005 shows a
stagnant period for the brand, a er which there is a steady decline in the sales up to 2008, where the brand was discon nued.

In terms of the augmented product, PJ's never

Even though they made a grand entrance into the
smoothie sector, and leaped to become the first

major concern for most smoothie
consumers. PJ's smoothie's sales were
doubled when their prices were cut

sponsor its website in a deal that will see the smoothie brand
target opinion formers in fashion, design, music, entertainment

PJ Smoothies will be promoted via a fruit‐machine game on the
site, and users have the chance to win prizes. The promo on will

20. The market for smoothie consumers consists of

In the graph, it is seen that the consump on of
fruits and vegetables varied with age, ascending
from 16‐24 up to 55‐64. All these consumers are

PJ's smoothies failed to take advantage of the
growing health aware genera on. A new and
improved PJ's that used fresh fruits instead of fruit
concentrates could have been the change that the
brandneededtoreposi onitselfinthemarket.
With increasing stress levels in day to day life,
consumers are looking for products to re‐vitalize
and re‐energize themselves. PJ's core benefit is to
provide an energy boost to the consumer. This
factor could have been promoted in the

CONSUMER NEEDS AND TRENDS
17
21. Mul ple theories and diagnos cs have been carried out as to why PJ's were unable to capture the market. Below are a few extracts
from ar cles deba ng the scenario. According to an ar cle published in the Marke ng Week (Jan 2008) it was felt that the brand was
losing its way and that Pepsi co should engage be er with their consumers.
An extract from an ar cle – Not all out of juice just yet (Marke ng Week, 13th Nov 2008)
“David Haseler, planning director at Smith & Milton, the branding agency which helped launch PJ Smoothies in the UK, is less glowing
about PepsiCo's ability to brand.
“PepsiCo didn't understand what it was buying. What is evident is it didn't recognize the value of the brand itself, and clearly a very
important part of the Pete & Johnny brand [the smoothie's brand name before it was rebranded as PJ] was its personality. PepsiCo
assumed it could develop the business in the way it usually does. For PepsiCo, it's not about developing the brand personality, but
much more about trading and distribu on.” he says.”
WHAT WENT WRONG
18
22. “PJs have been inves ng in the brand recently but, generally over the past nine years there has neither been investment in product
innova on or brand communica ons,” said Rawlins. “They also have completely different brand values to Innocent. We've always been
open to interac ng with consumers and encouraging a one‐to‐one dialogue. (UTalkMarke ng.com, Jan 2008)
According to Sharon Richey managing director, BEcause (Brand Republic, Nov 2007), “PJ's, by comparison, seems overly fussy, confused
and contrived, despite a similar product range. How strange it is that PJ Smoothies came from a similar, family‐oriented, 'from the
neighborhood' approach as Innocent when it launched as Pete & Johnny's, then surrendered to the norms of the market with the
downgrade to the unemo onal PJ's. While PJ's focuses on communica ng its product a ributes ‐ best‐tas ng, best‐value, most
innova ve ‐ Innocent is busy keeping us interested and, more importantly, entertained, confident that quality is the key to brand
longevity.”
“There simply isn't anything to the brand beyond the fruit in the bo le. By contrast, Innocent has done a wide range of things to make
consumers like the company: woolly hats, carbon footprints, recipe books, plan ng trees and village fetes, for example.
But being everything to everyone is not the answer for PJ's. Instead, it should find one meaningful brand truth in which it believes to
differen ate it from the compe on, then champion it through everything it does.” (Dave Wallwork managing director, The Feel Good
Drinks Company‐ Published in Brand Republic, Nov 2007)
WHAT WENT WRONG
19
23. From the above case history and study, it is clear that the main issue for PJ's smoothies was that they were not able to communicate
their brand image and iden ty in the market. The transi on from an image of a “friendly neighborhood” brand to an unemo onal
commercialbrandwasnotacceptedinconsumer'smindsandthusnoonecouldconnecttothebrandanymore.
A er its acquisi on by Pepsi Co. it lost its fun and honest reputa on and Pepsi Co.'s inability to connect the brand iden ty with their
consumerscrea ngabiggapinthemarket.
Lack of management in design of communica on and environments can damage the
product’s iden ty and result in the collapse of a business
