Coke's Promotional Themes: Tailored for Times

OR

Abstract:
Throughout its history, Coke had always tried to capture the moods and aspirations of its consumers through its promotional themes and advertisement slogans. For decades, Coke's catchy punch lines had been proverbial with millions of households worldwide, especially in its home country, the USA. Through its well-researched advertisements tailored for different markets across the world, Coke had become one of the most recognisable trademarks and the most valuable brand in the world worth $70.45 billion in 2003. However, to be in tune with the changing consumer psyche, Coke started shifting from its traditional patterns to new ways of advertising.

Pedagogical Objectives:

• To discuss how Coke, through its changing promotional themes, had transformed itself into an American icon
• To discuss Coke's initiatives to sustain its image in the new millennium as the most successful brand in the history of American business.
