Challenge
Struggling to Grow Profitably
- Category crowded with copycats & bold flavors.
- Trying to win against Big Soda without a differentiated brand strategy.
- Eroded core equities.
- Sales team’s confidence lost.
Goal

- Drop the word “Soda” and call it DRY Sparkling.
- “Excommunicate the heathen” from the DRY Soda brand (kids).
