The marketing mix, which is basic to any organization, can be considered the ‘controllable’ variables that every business encounters. These controllable variables can be modified based on the uncontrollable variables (external factors found in Environmental Scan) that directly affect business operations. A company focuses on four elements in the marketing mix: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion, which are managed and coordinated through marketing programs in efforts to appeal to their target market. Marketers strive to understand what motivates consumers to purchase certain products. The marketing mix helps to break down some of these questions: What will consumers buy? How much will they spend? Where will they buy? And will they buy again?

In the early 1890s, a pharmacist named Caleb Bradham concocted a recipe dubbed “Brad’s Drink” consisting of sugars, carbonated water, rare oils, and a caffeine containing nut called kola. In 1898 the drink was named Pepsi-Cola, incorporated in North Carolina by 1902 and the formula patented by 1903. After two decades of expanding business, Pepsi-Cola declared for bankruptcy and was sold to Roy Megargel forming the Pepsi-Cola Corporation. Less than a decade later Pepsi-Cola declared bankruptcy for a second time. By 1931 this allowed for Charles Guth, a businessman who supplied the syrup used by Pepsi, to purchase the company from Roy Megargel. Initially, Guth did not have success with Pepsi and even offered to sell the trademark and recipe to the Coca-Cola Company. "Coke" refused to purchase the twice bankrupt and struggling Pepsi. This prompted Guth to used the labs, the chemists, and the resources of the Loft Candy Company, his employer, to finely tune the Pepsi-Cola recipe to hopefully improve sales. After some clever price promotions, Pepsi had profits of over two million dollars and was the second largest cola company in the United States. Meanwhile, Loft Candy Company was in a legal battle with Charles Guth for using company resources for his personal benefit thus breaching his duty of loyalty. Loft Candy Company won the legal battle and took ownership of Pepsi-Cola Corporation. The faith of the company now rested in the hands of many savvy corporate leaders.
