SUMMARY
How does a fizzy drink that’s fizzling out, with no positive sentiment among drinkers in a shrinking softdrinks category, go to bat against international goliath Coca-Cola during a global pandemic? By embodying the zeitgeist of its Gen. Z drinker: “Whatever."
Results? RC Cola reversed the sales decline caused by government’s sugar tax, increased sales of flagship RC Cola Mega by 67%, raised positive sentiment about the brand by 25%, and became part of pop culture during a pandemic—when Filipinos had no reason to be drinking a celebratory soda.
