How Coca-Cola stole Christmas - the greatest marketing ever? It was the 1920’s and Coca-Cola had a big problem. People mostly thought of their product as a refreshing drink in summer, but sales normally dropped substantially in the winter when it got colder. And this makes sense - who gets in from the snow, feeling freezing cold, and immediately thinks: I want a cold glass of Coke. So Coca-Cola desperately needed a way to improve sales in winter, but just running more ads wasn’t going to be enough to change people’s perceptions of the product - they needed something that would create a deeper long-lasting connection in consumers' minds between Coke and winter. We'll answer questions like: Did coke create Santa? Did Coca-cola change Santa to red and white? And how did Coca-Cola create one of the most powerful brand associations in marketing history, heling Coca-Cola become the billion dollar empire it is today.
