13. ABOUT THE CEO
Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi , who was ranked No. 11 in Fortune's list of the most
powerful women in business, joined the company in 1994 and was named CEO in
2001. She was born in India and has done her education in India. She has been the
chief executive of PepsiCo since 2006. During her time, healthier snacks have been
marketed and the company is striving for a net-zero impact on the environment. This
focus on healthier foods and lifestyles is part of Nooyi's "Performance With
Purpose" philosophy
23. MARKETING STRATEGIES
• A company now days cannot get away with introducing a product in a
developing country a year after it was already introduced in
developed countries.
• Something that works in the USA may turn out to be offensive in an
Asian country due to the vast cultural paradoxes.
24. Pepsico’s Market Strategy:
• In the 1940s to create a niche among the African American, Pepsi
created a scholarship program that awarded 17 African American high
school seniors full time scholarships.
• During the same time the ad campaigns of Pepsi featured top people
from the African American community and they called it "Leader in
their field" campaign. This campaign was quite a breakthrough and
really made an impact. It opened up a whole new market segment for
the company.
25. • In the 1960s, Pepsi's campaign was aimed at teenagers and young
adults - beach bursting of youngsters having fun and drinking Pepsi
was quite a common theme and popular too.
• In the 1970s Pepsi came out something called the "Pepsi Challenge".
This campaign was aimed at proving Pepsi as a better tasting drink
than its rival Coke and involved blind tasting of the two products to
choose the better one
26. • Pop icons like Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie and youth sensation
like Michael J Fox became part of the Pepsi campaigns in the 1980s
where by Pepsi began to beat Coke and come out the winner. They
had a huge fan following and when they were seen endorsing the
brand, the impact was instantaneous.
• However, Pepsi chose to replace the "Pepsi Generation" campaign
with "Gotta Have It" in the beginning of the 1990s. This turned out to
be an erroneous move and Coke again started to gain market share.
27. Pepsi Goes International - Its Global
Marketing Plans
• In the 1940's itself PepsiCo started branching out into the international
arena. At first it was into Latin America, the Middle East and the
Philippines. Here too Coke had the early bird advantage. Yet the
product soon gained popularity. With the Arab countries boycotting
Coke, Pepsi enjoyed a monopoly for many years in the Middle East.
• In the 1950's Pepsi went to Europe and this included Russia, with
whom there existed a Cold War by USA. Though there were initial
difficulties, getting into Russia was a major breakthrough which the
company exploited. The company posted pictures of the then leaders
of the United States and Russia sipping the drink.
• Its arch rival, Coca Cola, was able to enter the Russian markets only
after more than 25 years after Pepsi's entry.
28. Pepsiman:
• Pepsi tried its "Pepsi challenge" promotional gimmick in Japan.
However, the country and its people were not aware of comparative
advertising and as such the campaign did more harm than good.
• The "Pepsiman" was a superhero like figure that was devised by a
Japanese person for the Japanese market The commercial was an
instant hit and helped improve Pepsi's share in the Japanese market by
as much as 14%. From Japan Pepsi learned a valuable lesson - the
same ad will not have the same effect everywhere. When it comes to
cross national advertising, there is always the inherent risk of
alienating the people.
29. • With the Indian markets, Pepsi had the first mover advantage over
Coke.
• It had coined its own special slogan for the Indian market too that
became quite popular with the crowd. "Yeh Dil Maange More!" .
• In the USA and European markets Pepsi still uses promotional
campaigns that aim to break the colour barriers with stars like Britney
Spears, Beyonce and Haley Berry appearing in its ads.
30. Marketing Blunders
• One of the major blunders that Pepsi did in its marketing runs is the
literal translations of some of its slogans into other languages. For
example PepsiCo's slogan "Come Alive with the Pepsi Generation"
when translated into Taiwanese meant "Pepsi will bring your
ancestors back from the dead" and caused great damage for its
image.
• Cap competition.
