Portland Drake Beverages (PDB) had acquired Crescent Pure, a non-alcoholic, all natural energy enhancing and hydrating functional beverage. Having organic ingredients as the bases of Crescent Pure beverages made the perfect acquisition for extending the PDB organic brand to more markets. These multiple attributes made the drink an attractive product for the consumer, but the necessity to position it, sparked a debate. Some people wanted to market it as an energy drink, while others wanted to market it as a hydrating drink. The VP of marketing, Sarah Ryan, thought that although Crescent Pure fit both of these categories, there was an alternative option. The third option would be to position the new beverages as healthy drinks, this would be a broader market positioning strategy, one that a transcendent product like Crescent Pure, could fulfill.

This status occurred through strategic focus on the brand and a broad expansion of products including club sodas, seltzer and ginger ale. The positioning of crush in from 1987-1989 was geared toward a market of teens, age 13-29. This comes from the results listed in Exhibit 13. The market share for this time period was 14% in 1987 and saw a decline in 1989 to 8%. The entrance of competitor’s products, Mandarin Orange Slice and Minute Maid Orange would be the cause of this decline, with Coke and Pepsi Co entering the market.
