Redbull Marketing strategy
Red Bull has built brand equity through memorable advertising, unique events, and word-of-mouth marketing. It samples products widely to generate buzz. While brand extensions could diversify revenue, Red Bull risks diluting its brand if extensions do not align well with customer perceptions. Red Bull should carefully research how extensions might impact brand image before pursuing new product categories or services.
