Campaign Quencher: Coca-Cola vs. Dr. Pepper

Seeing as how Coca-Cola seems to have one of the most successful advertising and marketing content creators in the world, this one's going to be a tough one, but I think I've got something they've yet to do! Wanna hear it? Okay, here we go!

The Idea: The Boundless Coke

Now the name might seem a little plain at first, but hear me out!  So we're all well and familiar with Coca-Cola's naming theme going on their products where names are printed on their cans or bottles as a sort of Personalization initiative.  My idea is to do something similar, perhaps even joined together with their already existing theme.  We would have Coca-Cola's fan/customer base submit requests for names and a slight introduction of themself as well as a location around the world, and likewise in that part of the world, other people will do the same.  Now when people happen to choose each other's countries, they get matched, and the bottles are then sent to Coca-Cola determined pairs where they receive the custom bottles and their mini stories/introductions on them!  

Who is the audience you may ask?

My target audience is anyone that drinks Coca-Cola! That's the beautiful thing about this idea, it's not restricted to any particular age group!

Goals

In creating bonds, and potential friendships throughout the world, we achieve one of Coca-Cola's main goals and objectives as a company, to spread happiness worldwide without any potential barriers!  In doing so we bring attention to Coca-Cola from all over the globe, who knows we might even be asked to do something United Nations related!

Launch

Because this is a world wide campaign, Coca-Cola would need some time to prepare themselves for the mass onslaught of entries submitted worldwide! Not to mention getting the word out, because of this I would aim for a launch to be conducted at the beginning of next year, 2017!

Social Strategy

Our social strategy would start with Coca-Cola's biggest and most successful social media platforms, ones that have the greatest world wide coverage.  Due to these factors, I believe their Facebook page, and YouTube page would be the best suitors for this type of Campaign!  In doing so, Coca-Cola will be able to spread the word in a very successful way seeing as how their following on both of these platforms stretches worldwide!

Attraction, Acquisition, and Engagement

This campaign will attract Coca-Cola's customer base world wide due to people's innate interest in different cultures around the world.  Thinking about travelling to a certain country? This would be the perfect step in getting to know that country from a personal level of someone already living there! Not to mention the vast field of potential connections one can make along the way!

Thanks for humouring me and listening to my Coca-Cola campaign idea! I hope to see it implemented in the near future, until next time guys!

Campaign Quencher: Pepsi VS Sprite

Another episode is about to start again here at Poparrazzii! Campaign Quencher is the cool idea of us creating a campaign for our specific brands. Now that I studied Pepsi and Sprite, I can hopefully create a campaign that would be fitting to my brands. So, let's get started!

Pepsi	Sprite
Idea
Pepsi is an all-year round drink and a very popular choice of drinks all ages. We will be doing a direct approach with the consumers. Our idea is to have a team all across Canada to have a pop-up shop in highly concentrated areas. Toronto Yonge-Dundas Square, Vancouver Gastown, Mississauga Celebration Square, you name it! There will be tons of pop-up shop and we will take advantage of the hype. There would be a live DJ, free one Pepsi can, and a one of a kind Pepsi Bar! We will serve from all-ages drinks to alcoholic beverages.	Sprite can almost be a synonym to summer. That's why, our campaign that we'll be creating is the 'Summer Sprite-capade'! This campaign will be contest based. There will be 10 lucky winners who will choose which Sprite-capade they would like to go to. The 10 winners are welcome to bring another guest with them! The Sprite-capade Destinations will be: Cuba, Greek Islands, and Thailand! All they have to do is buy a bottle of Sprite and inside the cap, there will be a serial code which needs to be entered online to secure the code.
Audience
The audience are all ages.	The audience are for ages 18 and up.
Goals
Our goals is to have Pepsi trend for weeks and weeks until the pop-up shop is done. We also expect a great 15% increase in sales after the shops are done.	The goal is to have our sales increase to 25% in a span of 4 months. We also hope that the traffic in our social media would increase by 50,000 at least.
Launch
The launch would start major areas like Vancouver, Toronto, etc. We will start at July 1 as it is Canada Day and we will take advantage of the whole day. Minor and less concentrated areas will come the next day after.	The contest will start in November 1 and end in January 28. The draw and announcement of winners will be on January 29.
Strategy
Just like other pop-up shops, we will offer consumers with an extra-ordinary and one-of-a-kind experience with Pepsi. We will trend #PopUpPepsi and have everyone post and share it on social media.	There will be 500,000 bottles with serial codes that will be distributed all across Canada. The winners will be determined through random draws that was entered online.
Engage
To engage with consumers, we need the power of social media and its ability to trend. We want our shops to trend every single time we are open and wherever we are at. Billboards and TV advertising are also a must.	In order for us to attract and engage a lot of consumers, we will use social media, traditional media, digital media, radio, and direct mail to spread out the word.

YouTube Showdown: Coca-Cola vs. Dr. Pepper

Coca-Cola vs. Dr. Pepper

Hey guys! I'm here for the final time to introduce our Coca-Cola vs. Dr. Pepper Soda Social Showdown! In this post I will be going over a few key points between these two soft drink giants' YouTube accounts!

Coca-Cola	Dr. Pepper
Post Cycle
Hourly-Daily	A few times a month-once a month
Content
Coca-Cola seems to be putting a huge amount of emphasis on their YouTube account, and a good thing they are too! They post a lot of the time about different promotions and such they have going on all around the world!	Dr. Pepper seems to be a little lacking when it comes to their YouTube account, especially in comparison to Coca-Cola!  They seem to post a majority of the time when it comes to special events, or promotions that they are involved with
50/50 Rule
Yes, Coca-Cola tends to post not only about their own products, but about other issues around the world that may benefit them as well.	Yes, both Dr. Pepper, and Coca-Cola are on top of this one! They both seem to post about not only their own products, but also other events and such that relate to themselves as a company as well.
Soda-successful Posts!
205K views, and 16 comments This little commercial about the bond between brothers is a very touching piece, and going off of how recent the video is, I'd say it's very successful!	45K views, and 52 Comments This comedic short has a funny twist to it, a father builds a nice little play house for his daughter, only to be greeted by a mysterious fellow who rewards him with a 'Sweet' Dr. Pepper

The results are in! And it seems the winner for this round of YouTube Showdown is...

Coca-Cola!!!

Coca-Cola seems to take their YouTube channel super seriously! Posting little inspirational and motivational videos sometimes hourly! It really gets things moving with their customer base, although Dr. Pepper's channel was a success as well, it not nearly to the degree of Coca-Cola!

Thanks for reading, see you again next time for a brand new segment on Fan pages!

Google+ Showdown: Coca-Cola vs. Dr. Pepper

Coca-Cola vs. Dr. Pepper

Hey guys! I'm here for a third time introduce our Coca-Cola vs. Dr. Pepper Soda Social Showdown! In this post I will be going over a few key points between these two soft drink giants' Google+ accounts!

Coca-Cola	Dr. Pepper
Post Cycle
Back when they used to post, they posted roughly twice a week. Last significant post was April 26, 2015	Dr. Pepper's last post was on November 8, 2011
Content
Coca-Cola solely posted videos which would link back to their YouTube channel, each video relates to Coca-Cola, however in each their own and unique way!	Dr. Pepper has unfortunately only posted two things since their Google+ accounts creating way back in November of 2011, and they were just simple pictures of a Dr. Pepper can
50/50 Rule
Not necessarily, Coca-Cola mainly uses their Google+ account to just promote their product and other events that may be happening.	No. They solely focused on their product seeing as how their only two posts were of Dr. Pepper cans.
Soda-successful Posts!
570 +1's, 60 shares, and 50 comments This post is successful because it was a music video depicting the joy of drinking Coca-Cola on a very relaxing enjoyable summer day at the beach which is very desirable amongst most people	33 +1's, 3 shares, and 7 comments This post was successful because it had the highest numbers when compared to their only other post.

The results are in! And it seems the winner for this round of Google+ Showdown is...

Coca-Cola!!!

This victory can almost solely be attributed to the fact that Dr. Pepper seems to have completely neglected their Google+ account! Oh-no! Despite this, Coca-Cola seemed to be on top of their stuff when it came to Google+, however the fact that they haven't really posted in a while, it seems they updated their account with a simple picture and hashtag fairly recently on Jan 19 of this year! Here's to hoping they revive their Google+ account soon!

Thanks for reading, see you again next time for the last round of Soda Social Showdown!

Pepsi posts a high quality image that showcases how creative they can be. They always incorporate a can of Pepsi in their posts which is very adorable!	Sprite has only been posting two contents in their Instagram page: kicks and the new Sprite flavour, Cranberry.
50/50 Rule
Yes. They have been posting monthly themes and #UpForGrabs.	No. They are primarily focused on their products.

Mountain Dew was featured in the We Are Blood film (about skateboarding), which some of the followers thought was great itself, and with Mountain Dew having a great connection with sports, must have made it more successful!

Fanta seems to find interesting ways in promoting their brand! Not only did they make this video a fun story in comic-form but also connected with a different nationality (something I've seen Fanta do before)! Which is probably why this post was successful!








The 50/50 Rule:
As said earlier, Google+ in linked with YouTube and so Youtube videos are shared!

Dr. Pepper once again seems to be a lot more involved when it comes to their tweets, tweeting to specific states asking for opinions or inputs from their customer base.
50/50 Rule
No, they don't really tweet anything besides their own products and other things relating to their products and other things they happen to be promoting at the time	Yes, Dr. Pepper tweets lots of different types of posts, some promote certain partnerships they have at the time, and other are community related topics that allow for their input
Soda-successful Posts!
14K likes, and 10.6K retweets This tweet is successful because it involves a very anticipated movie that is very popular, at the same time the video itself is of comedic value that genuinely brings joy to people. Perhaps the most important reason behind this tweets success is the fact that it is a pinned tweet, meaning if you visit the Coca-Cola twitter, this is the first tweet you will see no matter what.	600 likes, and 250 retweets A major reason this tweet is attributed as a success when compared to its other tweets is because of the fact that it's in relation to a very anticipated movie that Dr. Pepper happens to have a partnership with.

Soda-successful Posts!
134 RTs and 286 likes This is such a successful tweet because Pepsi is bringing back the two classics together! Flavoured colas became a trend years ago and it suddenly died down.

The timing was on point and that's why this became successful!	371 RTs and 2.2k likes Sprite started promoting their new flavour, Cranberry, and people definitely took an interest! 166 RTs and 454 likes This tweet was successful as it was paired with a creative short clip.
