Detailed SWOT Analysis of Coca-Cola
Strength
1. Market leader in the non-alcoholic beverages sector: The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) is the largest non-alcoholic beverage company in the world. According to the Annual Report of The Coca-Cola Company, it is a global brand that is identified and appreciated in virtually every country of the world. Around 94% of the world’s population is its consumer. TCCC boasts of more than 500 brands which position it as the world’s largest total Beverage Company. It enjoys the number one value position in non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages, as well as in sparkling soft drinks; juice, dairy and plant-based beverages; water, enhanced water and sports drinks; and ready- to-drink tea and coffee. It owns world’s top five non-alcoholic sparkling beverage brands: Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Fanta and Sprite.
2. Innovative marketing campaigns: The Coca-Cola Company has never failed in winning hearts across boundaries with its innovative and unconventional marketing campaigns. TCCC is the largest advertiser in the beverage industry in the world. Since 2014, the “Share a Coke” campaign has brought in new innovations and surprise-and-delight experiences to keep fans coming back. From the addition of more brands and names on more packages (including tie-ins with passion points like NCAA March Madness and the FIFA World Cup), to the launch of an e-Commerce site (ShareaCoke.com) where fans can order custom glass bottles, to the introduction of a first-ever sticker label, to work towards integrating music into the campaign. A new creative campaign called “That’s the MIX” will mark the celebration of The MIX by Sprite Tropic Berry, a new sparking soft drink, available only at McDonald’s. Coca Cola's well-known campaigns include Open Happiness, the FIFA World Cup, the Happiness Machine Campaign, and the Share A Coke Campaign. The "One Coke Away from Each Other" campaign is the "Real Magic" platform's first creative experience. "One Coke Away From Each Other" is a metaphor that celebrates shared humanity by blending the real and virtual worlds. What if Coca-Cola, as a symbol of togetherness, could create "Real Magic" by bridging universes that were meant to be apart, the film asks.
