Tropicana’s Packaging Case Study

In this activity we are going back to 2009 when Tropicana underwent a significant packaging redesign that did not go as planned. Although this occurred a number of years ago, it is a “classic” case study that all marketing students and practitioners should be aware of. It is especially useful for understanding the importance of packaging, branding, and what drives customer loyalty and repeat (habitual) purchases.

Repositioning Upwards (Video Case Study)

This case study examines a repositioning campaign for Vita-Weat, which is a brand of crackers in Australia. In this promotional campaign, this brand of “dull” and perceived budget crackers was successfully repositioned to be seen as a gourmet food offering and tapping into the “foodie” culture trend.

Inept to the Evoked Brand Set (Case Study)

The launch of the Mother Energy brand generated many first-time sales, there were only limited repeat purchases, primarily due to the poor taste of the product. As a result, the brand was placed into the inept set by the majority of target market consumers. As a result, Coca-Cola had to decide what to do with this poor performing brand.

Successful Repositioning Video Case Study

In this video-based case study students will examine the repositioning of an established brand. In marketing textbooks, we often see repositioning as a “last resort”, but in this case the brand was reasonably well-placed and profitable, but the brand management took a longer term view of the brand and were willing to rethink their strategy.
