Red Bull is the pioneer in the energy drink category worldwide. Founded in 1984 by Dietrich Mateschitz in Austria, the product was formally launched in 1987. Mateschitz originally became aware of products called “tonic drinks”, which enjoyed wide popularity in Asia. He brought this effective product in Austria and developed a unique marketing strategy. The drink mainly targets young students and urban professionals. It is exclusively produced in Austria and then distributed around the world via a network of local subsidiaries and external importers and distributors.
In 1982, Dietrich Mateschitz got an idea of functional drinks. He joined with Chaleo Yoovidhya, Thai businessman, in 1984 and founded the Red Bull, which today is 49 percent owned by Mateschitz, other 49 percent by Yoovidhya and 2 percent by his son Chalerm. Red Bull was first released into the Austrian market in 1987, which was the completely new product category, energy drink. (Red Bull, 2011)
In a world where we can find most information at a click of a button, many of us come across some form of propaganda on a daily basis. Having it routinely within our presences, we have learned how to identify if something is an advertisement. To convey a message or product, companies need to broadcast their item with visuals, audio, or both. For example, fast food companies need to demonstrate an image of their food, such as the visual of a burger in the Carl’s Jr ad, or else nobody will be convinced to purchase their item because they will not be able to know if it is satisfying enough to consume.

Corporate legend has it that in the early 1980s, while traveling to Asia on business, Austrian Dietrich Mateschiz came across some very popular “energy drinks”. With his (self-describe) “uncanny instinct for successful product innovations”, he schlepped a small sample of energy beverages back to Europe along with a big idea. Then with a clear vision and a lot of scientific know-how, Dietrich (and what was surely several unnamed food scientists) gave birth to the Red Bull Energy Drink.
The original formula for Red Bull was developed in 1964; however, the Red Bull company was not founded until 1984 after a merger between Dietrich Mateschitz, marketing guru, and Chaleo Yoovidhya, the owner of the Red Bull formula.

In today's era, Red Bull is commonly used as an energy drink; like coffee, and as a mixer in alcoholic drinks, like Red Bull Wings and the Jägerbomb. This aligns with the company's focus on the younger generations of partygoers and post-secondary students.
