Please, in the below demonstrations and explanations, I will be using the word “Coke” to represent the Coca-Cola company and her products’ brands.
One Challenge & One Solution Trend
Greater Personalization and Customization and Becoming More Global respectively are my selected Challenge and Solution Trends which I believe are applicable to Coke’s situation today. Whereas Coke’s situation today has changed tremendously …show more content…
For instance, “…understanding different marketing trends and consumer segments based on lifestyle, age, and income…” (Case Study, n.d.).

For instance, it was the experiences that Coke had in the past that resulted in the developments and productions of it new quality brands. Even the Coca-Cola Hellenic puts this to words as
“…Our many years of experience in sparkling soft drinks has given us useful knowledge that we can apply to all other beverage categories, ensuring that we offer the right mix of options in brands, pack sizes and calorie content…”(Coca-Cola Hellenic, 2016)
I am very convinced with the above cited statement because it related both the challenges Cokes had and the lesson they learned to acquire knowledge for the betterment of its products. For example, taking a look at the history of Coke Zero, Coca-Cola light or Diet Coke. These brands came to existence today due to the past experiences of Coke reciprocated with the demands and need of individual consumers.
