What makes the Coca-Cola brand so successful is not simply the product, as by taste it is not superior to that of PepsiCo’s or even other competitors but it is the brand itself and the lifestyle associated with it. Coca-Cola does not simply sell a beverage in a bottle; it sells happiness in a bottle. The company is regularly at work on new graphic designs and packaging for many of their products to appeal to a different crowd (Warkentin, 2014b).

Coca-Cola today is a global company that has the most recognizable brand by consumers. The CNBC special on Coca-Cola titled The Real Story Behind the Real Thing. Coca-Cola success thrives on its marketing. Coca Cola's main marketing tactic is to evoke emotions in its customers of happiness and humor. Through many years of painting, jingles, holiday ad, and even buttons, and more Coca-Cola wants consumers to recall moments in their life from their "memory bank" that are good times and happy feelings. Coca-Cola also uses mock-ups of places where customers would come in contact with Coca-Cola, including the grocery store and drive-thru. The use of the mockups help the company guide customers to the products and use ads to ale connection of food. The example used in the video was hungry consumers, with the help of Coke ads, could connect a hotdog and Coke together.

While this campaign was meant to be comical, it has undoubtedly left many people feeling offended. In the advertisement, there are three scenes that encapsulate the ideals Coca-Cola is trying to sell men. The first scene features a

In Coca-Cola's 1997 Annual Report, we can see an example of the extent to which multinational corporations dream of market domination and the tactics they would use to achieve it. In the first few pages, one finds a series of two-page, in-house advertisements depicting various scenes from daily life around the world: a group of co-workers sitting down at a break (one of whom is drinking Coke), a water fountain at the Grand Canyon, several women of (supposedly) Chinese ethnicity enjoying each other's company around a cup of tea (with one individual opting instead for Coke). Each image is accompanied by a caption (respectively): "Because they're still called coffee breaks", "Because some fountain drinks are

Advertising is ever changing, as people and products are always transforming. Coca-cola has been living the advertising roller coaster since 1886. Their message has changed from the beginnings of being a solution for the weary and tired to a message of creating a unity for people. The direction of the advertisements have changed considerably through the years. Although this may be the case if one looks at two specific advertisements, one from 1886 and another from 2016, the differences and similarities are striking. One can break down these similarities and differences into three distinct categories being the models in the ad, the Coca-Cola logo/ slogan, and the audiences the advertisements are directed towards.

Coca-Cola argues many points in support of its marketing and image. Especially in the years following WWII, Coke has worked hard to present an image associated with having a good time. Since the late 1800s, Coke’s advertising has shown people in beautiful places and in beautiful clothes, having a beautiful time and enjoying their beautiful lives--even in times of war and economic recession. While wars, riots and scandals rage in this country, Coke has been “holding forth to the world a picture of itself as pleasant and rewarding--the kind of place most people would like for it to be” (Watters 216). In Coke’s more recent advertising, Coke continues its image of fun and beauty, showing teens enjoying a sunrise and at a rave dance party in the woods. However, these more current commercials were in response to two other adds that were considered “not funny” and “mean spirited” by public opinion polls (Sampey par 1-4). Those ads showed family members and friends physically fighting with each other because someone had forgotten to bring Coke.

Coca Cola one of the most successful soda companies in the world went under attack by pranksters. In 2014, Coca Cola introduced a new slogan called “You’re on diet Coke” for their diet Coke soda. This slogan was a mistake for Coca Cola to make because when they first created their soda back in 1886, it contained cocaine as one of the ingredients, which was common back in the 19th century. The diet Coke ad started a lot of parody ads that Coke Cola wasn’t ready for. One of the first people who started the parodies was a blog named Animal. Animal modified the ad that Coca Cola made right after it was released to make fun of the Diet Coke ad. Many parodies were created like the TV commercial parody of the Diet Coke, but Animal’s was the most noticeable and shared ad over social media sites. When Coca Cola saw that the parodies are beginning to spread quickly all of over social media, Coca Cola released a statement saying that they don’t use illegal substances in any of their products. Then after the statement, they discontinued the slogan. Coca Cola didn’t intend at first to make such an ad to promote the use of cocaine, but they should’ve known that it will create this kind of reaction.

The advertisement for the Share-A-Coke campaign starts out with a girl going into a store and buying some Coca-Cola, and there is a look on the girls face that seems to look like she has an interest in the cashier. The same girl keeps going back to purchase more Cokes for herself and her friends or acquaintances. During this time all of her friends/acquaintances are having a joyful time and at the end of the commercial the girl finally invites the cashier outside by giving him a Coke with his assumed name on it just as he's closing the store doors. They turn the corner and everyone is there having a good time. Coca-Cola made a good campaign for share a coke by using pathos to get people to buy.

Chapter 1 explains the work of a Harvard psychologist named William James. William published the article “What is an Emotion?” in a philosophical journal entitled Mind in 1884. His paper is an argument for the primacy and necessity of bodily systems in producing emotional feelings. James-Lange theory states that physiological arousal instigates the experience of emotion. A Harvard physiologist, Walter Cannon, roundly criticized James’ theory, claiming that, according to the Cannon Bard theory, physiological changes follow emotional expression.

This essay will provide an analysis of the new marketing campaign which appeared in 2014 titled: “Coca-Cola Life: Can brands ever play a role in tackling obesity?” (the Guardian, 2014). The news article debates on the relationship between consumption of sweetened soft drinks and obesity problems that has increased in alarming rates worldwide. It was debated in the article that more brands have finally joined in the market trend to produce healthier products as led by market leader Coca-Cola with its brand extension through introduction of a naturally sweetened lower calorie product, “Coca-Cola Life”. However, critics

They have succeeded in focusing on the brand image, customer retention and adding social and ethical benefits to every bottle they sell (Coca-Cola.com, 2014). “In advertising, everything depends on strategy applied on the market, which is adjusted to the positioning” (Moraru, 2010).
