Red Bull, introduced in the United States in 1996, jump-started the energy drink business. The Austrian company has dominated the market ever since, and in 2004, its sales topped $1.2 billion. His other competitors include multibillion dollar companies Coca-Cola and Pepsico.
Coke continuously out-stands Pepsi, even though they share a very similar taste and colour, however Coke should not be the drink that receives all the love and attention for what it offers. Despite their similar soda colour, the drinks actually contain some different ingredients, which produce a different taste, and affect the body differently. Furthermore, the way the companies markets their drinks makes a huge contribution to how successful their products will become. The major element for success however stems from their impact on society and how the companies utilize their social power to evolve. The two major soda companies are constantly head to head with one another, yet it is what they do that sets them apart.
In the 1970’s, one of the Hansen brothers decided to transition their beverage business into marketing ‘natural sodas’. This was the upturn of the company that led them to where they are today. Today, Monster Beverage Corp. has transformed into the largest energy drink company in Canada with sales of more than $ 2.1 billion in 2012.

The beverage industry is highly competitive and presents many alternative products to satisfy a need from within. The principal areas of competition are in pricing, packaging, product innovation, the development of new products and flavours as well as promotional and marketing strategies. Companies can be grouped into two categories: global operations such as PepsiCo, Coca-Cola Company, Monster Beverage Corp. and Red Bull and regional operations such as Ro...
so there is a difference between Nike running an embellished advertisement and a fast food chain running an embellished advertisement as Nike’s product is not normally correlated with harming ones health. Society distinguishes the difference between persuasion to buy a product that is harmful to ones health versus one that is beneficial or harmless to ones health. The idea is that it’s wrong to persuade someone to buy or do something that is harmful to his or her health, especially when persuasion is based upon falsehood.
In the US, the food bar market is dominated by several companies: PowerBar, Balance Bar, Luna, MetRx, and Clif Bar. Each of these is representative of one of the three major segments in the bar market.
During the past 15 years, the drink has been copied by more than 100 competitors, but such companies as Coca-Cola and Anheuser-Busch have been unable to take market share away from Red Bull. Says Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz, "If we don't create the market, it doesn't exist." Mateschitz's secret to creating a $1.6 billion worldwide stampede for Red Bull lies in a highly ingenious "buzz-marketing" strategy that herds consumers to exclusive and exciting events that get high media coverage. Red Bull supports close to 500 world-class extreme sports athletes that compete in spectacular and often record-breaking events across the globe. Mateschitz explains, "We don't bring the product to the consumer, we bring consumers to the product."
The company has continued to expand its marketing strategy through innovation to reach new markets and retain its current customers. Recently the company has sponsored various sporting events like the World Rally Car Championships in the US.

Sports are one thing that unite people from various backgrounds. The idea of being up-to-date with trends is also something that is idolized over different cultures. The key place to find the latest and greatest trend is from the youth’s interest and sporting events. The fact that “RBMH covered all the various aspects of its marketing tools from making online feature films, television coverage, sports magazine called The Red Bulletin, and an in house record label” means that Red Bull is not afraid to dabble into new industries in order to expand their brand (Kansara, 4). Red Bull also has a unique 4-pack packaging that differentiates them from their competitors (Kansara, 4). Supporting over 500 extreme sports athletes leaves little to no room for competitors to try and be seen in the sports industry (page 6). Red Bull also uses social media, such as Twitter, to truly connect with their consumers rather than solely sale their product. They hope to remain a privately owned company (Kansara, 9), eliminating room for unauthentic replication of their brand. They also strongly connect to the youth because they are noted as a “rebellious drink” (Kansara,
The 10 major products of the soft drink industry are produced by Pepsi and Coca-Cola in America. According, to a news post on NBC from research from 2010, of no surprise number one is Coca-Cola. Most Americans prefer Coke products over Pepsi. Number two is Diet Coke. Many people look to drink Diet Coke because it is the “healthier” version of the loved Coca-Cola. Number three is Pepsi. Next is also by PepsiCo which is Mountain Dew at number four. Dr.Pepper is number five and this is very surprising because I don’t see many people drinking it as much as all the other drinks. Sprite is number six in the ten major products. Number seven is Diet Pepsi with Diet Mountain Dew being number eight. I don’t remember seeing many stores selling Diet Mountain
Technologies are increasing rapidly and shaping not only the traditional marketing but internet marketing as well. That is why marketers are facing a great global competition in terms of modern marketing. Marketers should know this thing that new technologies can help them by making their work simple, so they should shift to latest technologies and some new things. Business gets success when it comes with something new and interesting. That is why marketers must change their strategies as the tradition, trend, and environment changes. When we talk about changes and technologies, we can’t forget viral marketing, which is a form of fresh marketing. Many advertisers and companies are moving towards it. (H.B Klopper, 2002)
