MARKETING
Coca-Cola began life more than a century ago as a "brain tonic" aimed at businessmen. Now it's the most recognised brand name on earth. How did this happen? With examples of classic adverts, on both print and film, this award-winning US film explores the marketing techniques which lie behind Coke's historic success.
HISTORY: The Coca-Cola story begins in the deep south of America at the end of the nineteenth century. Coke is invented as an exotic cure-all by a man trying to kick his addiction to morphine.
THE BIRTH OF MODERN ADVERTISING: But the secret of the new drink's success lie in its marketing. Revolutionary mass advertising techniques are used to sell it as a refreshing drink for everyone.
IMAGES OF WOMEN: Images of Coke appear everywhere. Coca-Cola spends an unheard of 20% of its revenue on advertising. Women become vital to Coke both in its advertising and as a market. A bottle with a distinctive design becomes a vital asset in its marketing effort.
SANTA CLAUS: Coke resists accusations that it's taregeting kids, but cleverly uses young people in its adverts.
The image of the Santa Claus of today owes much to early Coke advertising.
BATTLE OF THE BRANDS: Integral to the Coke story is its long-running battle with Pepsi. A wealth of marketing and advertising imagination is employed on both sides. Coke is the "real thing", but drinking Pepsi makes you part of the "Pepsi generation" - as promoted by superstar singer Michael Jackson.
A NEW RELIGION: Market researchers examine the responses of people to Pepsi and Coke, trying to work out why we choose one over the other -- even though there's almost no difference in the taste. And what about their social impact? Is Coke part of a new, fantasy-driven, consumerist religion in which what we buy defines who we are?
MORE THAN WORDS: In the twenty-first century Coke faces new challenges - to produce healthier, less fattening products and become more environmentally friendly. The company claims to have made big efforts to clean up its act - but is this more than fine words and PR?
