Coca-Colas Target Market



Coca-Cola’s target audience is pretty much everyone. Their goal is to make their drinks available to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Granted their fun, witty, bubbly and colourful advertising campaigns are probably more marketed towards teens through to the early 30s market, Coca-Cola works hard to ensure that their campaigns alienate the smallest portion of the demographic possible.

Below is a listing from the http://www.coca-colacompany.com/ website of the brands Coca-Cola represents. Many of them I have never heard of or seen. They pretty much have a drink for everyone, and even have a team of people working constantly on the next big thing.

Each of these brands will have their own target market and specific advertising campaigns. For example Diet Coke is very much advertised towards women as demonstrated by the two add images below.

To sum up Coca-Cola's target market is all of us. There is pretty much no part of the worlds population which isn't within their sights. They have flooded the market with so many new and different products that there is something for everyone. Clever...
