Britvic:  Creating  a  Brand  Flavor Case  3 I. CASE  BACKGROUND     With  over  twenty-­‐two  iconic  brands,  Britvic  Soft  Drinks  is  the  second-­‐biggest  drink  manufacturer  in  Britain.   These   brands   include   carbonated   drinks,   still   and   dilutable   drinks,   fruit   juices,   bottled   waters,   energy   drinks,   and   a   lot  more.  Over  the  years,  it  has  earned  the  following  prestigious  titles:  #1  supplier  of  still  soft  drinks  in  the  UK,  #1   supplier   of   on-­‐premise   soft   drinks   in   the   UK,   #2   supplier   of   carbonated   soft   drinks   in   the   UK,   and   #2   supplier   of   take-­‐home  soft  drinks  in  the  UK.   Britvic  is  not  only  operating  in  Great  Britain  but  is  also  an  industry  leader  in  Ireland  and  France.  Through   its  increasing  market  share,  Britvic  was  able  to  increase  its  wealth  and  grow  its  overseas  presence,  particularly  in   Australia  and  the  United  States.       For  this  particular  case,  the  perspective  will  be  from  the  current  position  of  Britvic  in  the  United  Kingdom.     II.  ISSUE  IDENTIFICATION   Given   that   Britvic’s   brand   portfolio   is   so   varied   that   they   can   be   associated   with   constant   innovation/diverse   options,   how   can   Britvic   adapt   to   the   changing   tastes   and   lifestyles   of   its   consumers   while   maintaining  market  leadership?       III.  SITUATIONAL  ANALYSIS   A.  Market  Analysis   UK   consumers   of   Britvic   products   lie   within   the   increased   frequency   and   increased   value   stages   of   the   consumer  response  scale.  They  actively  have  a  recall  of  Britvic’s  brands  and  are  willing  to  purchase  them  from  time   to   time.   Since   Britvic   is   a   dominant   market   leader   in   the   soft   drinks   category   in   UK,   it   is   possible   that   it   has   established   a   solid   base   of   loyal   consumers.   However,   in   terms   of   international   consumer   response,   Britvic   falls   within  familiarity  and  exchange  level.  Some  may  have  heard  of  Britvic’s  sub-­‐brands,  say  7Up  and  Lipton  Ice  Tea,   but  may  not  necessarily  have  associated  these  sub-­‐brands  with  Britvic  itself.       B.  Brand  Situational  Analysis     i Environmental  Analysis   Social.   In   a   dynamic   and   fast-­‐paced   world   of   health-­‐conscious   consumers,   there   is   a   constant   seeking   for   instant   sources  -­‐  those  that  can  either  be  used  for  their  daily  needs  or  as  energizers  that  will  enable  them  to  perform   to  their  maximum  potential.     Technological.   In   industrialized   countries,   a   myriad   of   factories   and   industries   manufacturing   goods   and   products   abound   cities   and   metropolitan   areas.   Technological   improvements   in   packaging,   bottling,   and   processing  ingredients  have  been  implemented  for  a  more  efficient  and  cost-­‐effective  operation.  An  example   is  the  emergence  of  the  use  of  soft  pouches  -­‐  which  may  come  with  shielded  spouts  to  prevent  drink  spilling  -­‐   to  replace  traditional  bottles  and  cans.  PepsiCo  was  able  to  complete  their  100%  plant-­‐based  bottling,  with   biomaterials  like  pine  bark,  corn  husks  and  switch  grass  are  used.  These  materials  can  also  be  sourced  from   other  production  processes  of  companies.     Economic.   The   UK   is   experiencing   a   challenging   time   as   unemployment   reaches   a   17-­‐year   high   and   consumer   confidence  levels  are  still  low.  But,  with  the  help  of  the  Olympic  Games,  the  rising  popularity  of  sports,  and   the  emergence  of  many  energy  drinks  in  the  market,  the  soft  drinks  industry  has  achieved  a  growth  of  4.1%  in   consumption  volume.   Political.   In   March   2012,   the   government   has   launched   a   new   initiative   called   the   Public   Health   Responsibility   Deal.  The  main  goal  of  this  initiative  was  to  encourage  businesses  and  other  organizations  to  improve  public   health.   Many   soft   drink   companies   heeded   this   call   through   creating   programs   on   food,   alcohol,   physical   activity  and  health  at  work.  Moreover,  beverages  are  regulated  by  the  Food  Standards  Agency  and  Exclusive   Bottling  Agreements  (EBA)  to  ensure  the  health  safety  and  compliance  to  quality  control  standards.     ii SWOT  Analysis   Strengths.   Britvic   has   been   consistent   in   delivering   innovations   in   the   soft   drinks   and   bottling   industry,   such   as   the   use   of   stevia   extract   as   a   natural   alternative   sweetener   for   their   products.   The   company’s   diverse   brand   portfolio  is  also  a  valuable  element  as  it  enables  the  company  to  reach  a  wider  market.   Team  Six-­‐y   Acuña  |  Astudillo  |  Dela  Cruz,  J.  |  Dimaano  |  Ducanes  |  Salayog  |  Santos  |  Tablante     Unfortunately.  thus
