Coca Cola

Introduction

When we hear the name Coca-Cola we might not instantly think of water. However Coca-Cola Amatil's brand Mount Franklin is the number-one brand of bottled water in Australia.

A growing market

As little as 20 years ago the market share of bottled water in Australia was almost zero.

Introducing the brands

What do we think of when we hear or see Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Google, Toyota and Disney? Well they are all instantly recognisable as some of the top brands in the world.

Developing new products

The reputation of a brand plays a key role in market positioning as it represents an organisation's investment in its products.

Ensuring sustainability

As part of its ongoing operations CCA has identified three main environmental objectives; sustainable water management, efficient energy use and a reduction in packaging and post-consumer waste.

Conclusion

One of the most consistent growth segments in the non-alcoholic beverage market is bottled water.
