Brands, brands and more brands. We love them and we hate them. There are many that evoke several emotions in us — joy, happiness, pride, or trust.

With the first bottle sold on 8 May, 1886, Coke turned 136 last week! 🥂 We want to talk about our beloved beverage Coca Cola in this newsletter.

A fun fact to remember the next time you have a Coke!

Coca Cola’s top 40 markets have a total population of 6.4Bn i.e. 80% of the total world population i.e. 7.9Bn. Coca Cola estimates its consumers at 880Mn i.e. 11% of the world population! That means 1 in every 9 people selected at random is a consumer of Coca Cola. Below image represents the Coke consumers in its top 40 markets.

While we may not know the secret recipe of Coca Cola, we do have some insights about their marketing strategy.

Coca Cola focuses on consumer centric data. The data points that can be scaled are selected and then used to create global marketing strategies. Coke keeps its campaign simple and consistent. Two emotions that Coke actively communicates are enjoyment and happiness. They are razor-sharp when it comes to speed, right from experimentation to global execution for campaigns.

At Classplus too, “speed” is one of our most celebrated greatness principles! 😬
