EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (RW) Kraft, as a whole, is the largest consumer packaged food and beverage company in North America. The company’s subsidiary, Maxwell House, is currently ranked second in the instant coffee market behind Folgers. This is mostly due to weakened brand awareness because of reduced effort in marketing.

When hard-nosed Harold Geneen drove the growth of ITT during its heyday in the 1960s and '70s, he had a blunt management philosophy: "In business, words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality."

Vegemite has been a staple in the average Australian’s diet for decades. When Simon Talbot stepped in as Kraft’s Director of Corporate Affairs in 2007, Vegemite sales were at an all time high. Household penetration was at 80% and in 2008, the billionth jar of Vegemite was made (Keinan, A., Farrelly, F., Beverland, M., 2012). However, because of little change made to the brand in its 80 year history, the product was going out of style. It was clear that Vegemite needed some kind of new-age makeover

designed a second product to meet Wal-Mart's decree. Wal-Mart recently decided to allow each individual pharmacist in the company to choose whether or not to stock the "morning after" pill.
