Idealism and commercialism are not polar opposites. In fact, as counterintuitive as it may seem, sustainable profits are supported by sustainable idealism. Brand owners should not have to choose between idealism and profit, and profits based on a degree of idealism are more likely to be strong and sustainable over time. Businesses have come to recognize this and want their objectives, and those of their brands, to be attractive and easily defensible. While the economic crisis has tested some companies’ resolve, the fundamental factors that encourage them to espouse inspiring missions and defensible practices are unlikely to wane.

Case studies are an important learning strategy in business classes as they provide an opportunity for you to critically analyze events that have taken place in real-life businesses. This develops your critical thinking and research skills as you research the competition and industry in which your business resides with an end goal of formulating a recommendation for the challenges faced by the company.
Select one of the three case studies listed below, which can be found in your textbook. Evaluate the case of your choice, and respond to each of the questions below using both theory and practical managerial thinking as well as supporting research.
Option 1: Red Bull (pp. 581–582)
1. What are Red Bull’s greatest strengths as more companies (like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Monster) enter the energy drink category and gain market share? What are the risks to their brand equity of competing against such powerhouses?
2. Discuss the pros and cons of Red Bull’s nontraditional marketing tactics. Should the company do more traditional advertising? Why, or why not?
3. Discuss the effectiveness of Red Bull’s sponsorships, advertisements, personal selling strategies, promotion, events, and public relations. Where should the company draw the line in terms of risk?
4. Recommend the next steps for Red Bull with respect to their marketing and advertising strategies.
Marketing Excellence Red Bull
Red Bull’s integrated marketing communications mix has been so successful that the company has created an entirely new billion-dollar drink category—energy drinks. In addition, Red Bull has become a multibillion-dollar beverage brand among fierce competition from beverage kings like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Anheuser-Busch. To date, the company has sold more than 40 billion cans of energy drinks across 166 countries. How? Red Bull became the energy drink market leader by skillfully connecting with youth around the globe and doing it differently than anyone else.
Dietrich Mateschitz founded Red Bull with a single product in Austria in 1987. By 1997, the slender silver-and-blue can was available in 25 markets globally, including Western and Eastern Europe, New Zealand, and South Africa. Its size and style immediately signaled to consumers that its contents were different from traditional soft drinks. Red Bull’s ingredients—amino acid taurine, B-complex vitamins, caffeine, and carbohydrates—were specifically formulated to make the drink highly caffeinated and energizing. In fact, some users have referred to it as “liquid cocaine” or “speed in a can.” Over the past decade, the company introduced other products and flavors, many of which did not succeed. Today, Red Bull offers the original Red Bull Energy Drink, Red Bull Total Zero, Red Bull Sugar Free, and special editions infused with berry, lime, and cranberry flavors.

2. Hi! My name is Ellen Pabst von Ohain.
I’m an International Communications Coach and Consultant and
a Lecturer for sustainable and authentic business practices and
marketing. I'm on the Board of Directors for a non- profit,
worldwide youth organization.
I work with CEOs and management in the German Mittlestand
(small business owners). My team and I analyze and pick out the
golden nuggets of what these companies do best and examine
how they conduct their business. Then we develop a marketing
message. That message is particularly aimed at other
businesses and consumers who have a measurable interest in
sustainability. It is also designed to attract those consumers and
businesses who are less aware of the issues and concepts of
sustainability.
Why waste time trying to reach those who are less interested or
informed?
Because when consumers are better informed they are able to
make better choices. Then they look for those golden nuggets.
3. This deck was prepared for a
presentation on May 18, 2014
about Sustainability Trends.
The audience was German
businessmen and
businesswomen.

22. From 2006-2012, Ocean Tomo designed and managed an investment index that
tracked public companies with a high intellectual property and intangible
ratings. During this period, the index rose 7% even as the S&P 500 index
declined.
Wharton School professor Alex Edmans compared the 1998-2010 financial
performance of the S&P 500 index to companies in Fortune magazine’s annual
list of Best 100 Companies to Work For. He found that if you had invested in
the S&P index, you would have averaged an annual 4% return. If you had
bought and held the 1998 list of Best 100 Companies, your average annual
return would have exceeded 6%.

50. RECOGNIZE THE HERO
Finding out exactly what your customers and consumers know about
the sustainability of your product is tantamount to positioning yourself
as authentically sustainable.
If they don’t know enough, you owe it to them and to yourself, to
educate them.
Main values for Germans are quality, product features and innovation,
therefore products and services are sold on those points. Price and
Image are also in the mix but the German Mittlestand does not rely on
the brand marketing that large enterprises do.
SME’s operate within a local physical community and literally face
community members daily. In part, their survival greatly depends on
local social acceptance.
The value of sustainability is still a novelty feature and not yet a main
product feature although Germans and Europeans are relatively further
along than other Western countries regarding perception.

Brand Renewal!
Authentic Sustainability equals Quality..

Advantage
