Today, Monster Beverage Corp. has transformed into the largest energy drink company in Canada with sales of more than $ 2.1 billion in 2012.
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.

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.

Red Bull is an energy drink that doesn't do well in taste tests. Some say it's too sweet. Others just shake their heads, saying, "No." Its contents are not patented, and all the ingredients are listed on the outside of the slim silver can. Yet Red Bull has a 70 to 90 percent market share in over 100 countries worldwide. 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.

Within the soft drink industry its niche is the ‘energy drink’ market, of which Mateschitz was largely responsible for creating. Red Bull currently is the leading energy drink across the entire globe. It holds 70% of the market worldwide (Gschwandtner, 2004). Once the drink was passed by health ministries, Red Bull entered the Austrian market, soon thereafter then moved into Germany, United Kingdom and the USA by 1997.
We have heard a very common slogan named as “RedBulls Gives You Wings”. It is the very popular television advertisement of RedBulls energy drink with many advertisement prints and different characters. We have seen the advertisement in which a bird pisses on a man and after that man took out a RedBull energy drink from his pocket and after drinking it, he got wings and he flew overthe bird and unbuttoned his pants and immediately camera shifted tothe bird and it is screaming and shocked to look at it. That advertisement overs there with RedBull can and its slogan.("Red Bull Gives You Wings 2000.”)Now people keep on thinking what will man do and main comment is he will piss back on the bird, but the main motive of advertisement is to show that you gain energy to such extend that you feel you havewings.

1.Red Bull differentiates itself in not only the soft drink industry by focusing on energy drinks solely, but also in the business industry, seeing how their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for improvement, and threats all seem to blur together . The fact that Red Bull is seen as a luxury and sports drink is a strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat within itself (Kansara, 2); being labeled as such sets Red Bull apart from their competitors, pushing them into one field and industry to prosper in and be associated with, leaving them opportunity to determine the way that industry will grow as they are the pioneers but also threatening their hopes for expansion. In a nutshell, in order for Red Bull to truly work towards their mission
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.

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.
