Red Bull has built strong brand equity through non-traditional marketing strategies. They focus on experiential marketing like events and sports sponsorships. This helps create an image of the brand as fun and associated with an active lifestyle. While successful, Red Bull's marketing faces risks expanding into unrelated areas like food or magazines. Maintaining their marketing momentum may require developing lower-priced extensions that stay true to positioning their drinks as energy boosters. Their advertising is effective at reaching both young partygoers and older professionals by focusing on the core benefit of energy and stimulation.
