Study Case :
The Coke Wars: When The Pepsi Challenge Nearly
Killed Coca-Cola
Back in the early 80s they were rapidly losing market share to their
sweeter-tasting rival, Pepsi. Results of the famous Pepsi Taste Challenge
seemed to demonstrate that people wanted a sweeter-tasting drink.
Undeterred Cokes executives unanimously agreed, over Christmas
1984, to change the recipe of their flagship product for the first time in
its 99-year history and make it sweeter.
Coke launched a massive publicity campaign. There were TV adverts
with Bill Cosby, millions of free samples, parades and fireworks and
workers renovating the Statue of Liberty were the first in New York to
receive cans. Yet despite all this the public rejected the new taste on a
massive scale.
But how could Coke have got things so spectacularly wrong?
Case Analysis :
Coke was too jumpy, they overreacted emotionally out of
fear
The brand attachment of Coke was so strong , people
were willing to look at past of what could have been their
favorite & they had become so comfortable considering
themselves as Coke Drinkers
The campaign failed in its execution because it didnt do a
good enough on analyzing consumers changing behavior
