SUMMARY
THIS IS HOW SPRITE LAUNCHED ITS FIRST-EVER GLOBAL PLATFORM, DEVELOPED IN CHINA, BY EVOLVING ITS ASSOCIATION WITH ‘COOLING DOWN’ TO GROW RECRUITMENT AND REVENUE BEYOND SUMMER.
For decades Sprite China positioned its lemon-lime edge as the ultimate way to beat summer heat creating a seasonal demand spike which tapered off, leading to seasonally skewed recruitment, and flattening revenues.
Sprite reframed its benefit of ‘Cooling Down’ from physical heat to mental heat with its first-ever global platform, created in China - ‘Heat Happens’, to become relevant year-round, growing recruitment and revenues.
