[Case study] Trao Coca-Cola trao cảm xúc

Là một thương hiệu hàng đầu trong việc tiếp cận thị trường, thử thách cho Coca-Cola là hoàn thiện mình tốt hơn. Chiến dịch được cho là hiện tượng toàn cầu “Chia sẻ Coca-Cola” với hình thức in tên lên nhãn mỗi chai Coca-Cola được triển khai năm vừa rồi đã mang lại những kết quả rất ấn tượng

Ý tưởng sáng tạo Series chat sticker của Coca-Cola: mỗi sticker được thiết kế thành một lon Coca-Cola, kèm theo một biểu tượng cảm xúc và biểu cảm tương ứng. Thông điệp Trao Coca-cola trao cảm xúc. Thoát khỏi buồn tẻ bằng cách làm những việc bình thường theo một cách thật khác thường, chẳng hạn như việc nhắn tin.

Coca-Cola là thương hiệu đồ uống giải khát được yêu thích nhất Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, nó chỉ đứng thứ 4 khi xét về lượng tiêu thụ trên thị trường. Vì tăng trưởng đòi hỏi lượng tiêu thụ cao hơn, Coca-Cola cần chuyển sự yêu thích đó thành tiêu dùng thật sự.

Nguồn tiêu thụ chính của sản phẩm đến từ các bạn tuổi teen vì nhóm này dễ gắn bó với thương hiệu. Cạnh tranh trong phân khúc này cũng khốc liệt hơn vì nhiều sản phẩm mới, thương hiệu mới với hương vị mới liên tục xuất hiện. Đối với Coca-Cola, việc thu hút tiêu dùng từ nhóm đối tượng này sẽ hiệu quả hơn là tìm kiếm nhóm khách hàng mới.

Là một thương hiệu hàng đầu trong việc tiếp cận thị trường, thử thách cho Coca-Cola là hoàn thiện mình tốt hơn. Chiến dịch được cho là hiện tượng toàn cầu "Chia sẻ Coca-Cola” với hình thức in tên lên nhãn mỗi chai Coca-Cola được triển khai năm vừa rồi đã mang lại những kết quả rất ấn tượng. Khi đà của nó vẫn còn mạnh, Coca-Cola muốn xây dựng một điều gì đó riêng cho giới trẻ Việt Nam, và phát triển mối quan hệ thân thiết hơn với người tiêu dùng.

Là một thương hiệu hàng đầu trong việc tiếp cận thị trường, thử thách cho Coca-Cola là hoàn thiện mình tốt hơn

Việc xuất hiện nổi bật trên kệ hàng là chưa đủ để khiến giới trẻ lựa chọn Coca-Cola thay vì những thức uống khác. Giới trẻ cần một động lực mạnh mẽ hơn để thực sự thay đổi lựa chọn tiêu dùng của mình.

Đối với một thương hiệu có tuổi đời hơn 129 năm, việc giữ vững chỗ đứng không còn là một thử thách mới. Tuy nhiên, tại một thị trường còn "khát” như Việt Nam, thật đáng ngạc nhiên khi Coca-Cola không phải là thương hiệu nước giải khát được tiêu thụ nhiều nhất bởi giới trẻ dù đang có điểm yêu thích cao nhất so với các thương hiệu khác.

Coca-Cola sẽ quảng bá qua cách tiếp cận kéo, gây thu hút các nhóm bạn trẻ cùng tham gia với nhau thay vì hướng đến từng cá nhân, vì Coca-Cola hiểu rằng giới trẻ thích chơi và hoạt động theo nhóm. Với độ thâm nhập 68% đối với đối tượng tuổi teen, Coca-Cola chọn tin nhắn điện thoại làm kênh truyền thông chính.

Đối tượng mục tiêu

Coca-Cola quảng bá qua cách tiếp cận kéo, gây thu hút các nhóm bạn trẻ cùng tham gia với nhau thay vì hướng đến từng cá nhân

Đối tượng mục tiêu chính là các bạn tuổi teen từ 15 đến 19 tuổi, dễ bị ảnh hưởng bởi bạn bè. Gần 80% trường hợp sử dụng nước giải khát rơi vào các dịp đi chơi chung với bạn bè ở các quán cafe hoặc quán ăn.

Họ thường sử dụng mạng xã hội và di động để kết nối với bạn bè hàng ngày. Thực tế, 77,6% phân khúc này sử dụng điện thoại nhiều hơn sử dụng máy vi tính, trong đó nhắn tin chiếm 65% thời lượng sử dụng điện thoại. Vào hè, họ sẽ nhắn tin nhiều hơn vì có nhiều thời gian rảnh hơn.

Các bạn tuổi teen luôn thích những khoảnh khắc vui vẻ, thú vị với bạn bè; và không thích sự buồn tẻ.

Giới trẻ luôn hào hứng khi thể hiện cảm xúc của mình cho các bạn khác, qua tin nhắn, clip vui, biểu tượng chat, GIF, meme và đặc biệt là sticker. Những công cụ nhắn tin này giúp họ tự do sáng tạo, thể hiện cảm xúc mà không bị gò bò bởi chữ viết; và chúng trở thành ngôn ngữ phổ quát kết nối mọi người lại với nhau.

Chat sticker đã được sử dụng rất rộng rãi trên các ứng dụng di động cũng như trên mạng xã hội để thể hiện cảm xúc khó nói thành lời bằng những hình ảnh phụ họa thú vị. Bởi người dùng, đặc biệt là các bạn tuổi teen muốn thể hiện cái riêng trong ngôn ngữ tin nhắn của mình, họ luôn săn lùng các kiểu sticker mới.

Coca-Cola đã quyết định hợp tác với ứng dụng Zalo - mạng xã hội trên thiết bị di động với trên 30 triệu người dùng, 85% trong số đó là đối tượng mục tiêu chính của Coca-Cola - thiết kế và xúc tiến một series chat sticker cho Coca-Cola. Chủ đề chính cho bộ sticker này rất đặc biệt: mỗi sticker được thiết kế thành một lon Coca-Cola, kèm theo một biểu tượng cảm xúc (được gọi là "emoticons”) và biểu cảm tương ứng. Những sticker này được gọi là "Emotican”. Vậy nên, khi chia sẻ sticker, người dùng Zalo cũng đang chia sẻ lon Coca-Cola ảo cho bạn của mình.

Clip quảng cáo chiếc bảng cảm xúc gây ấn tượng mạnh

Ngoài những sticker chat trên Zalo, Coca-Cola còn in những sticker đó trên lon Coca-Cola thật. Vậy, để thể hiện cảm xúc của mình, người tiêu dùng có thể hoặc là mua nhiều lon Coca-Cola, hoặc là gửi đi nhiều sticker hơn. Chiến dịch này được gọi là "Trao Coca-Cola trao cảm xúc”, tiếp cận qua thiết bị di động trong 4 tuần đầu của chiến dịch kéo dài 2 tháng này.

Những sticker này có thể được tải xuống qua Cửa hàng Sticker Zalo - chỉ áp dụng cho người sử dụng Zalo. Tuy nhiên, mục tiêu của chiến dịch mong muốn khuyến khích các bạn trẻ thể hiện cảm xúc của mình bằng Emotican qua nhiều cách khác nhau.

Coca-Cola nhận thấy rằng tin giật gân là yếu tố tác động chính đến sự tò mò khiến cho mọi người muốn tham gia. Coca-Cola đã đề nghị KOL như người nổi tiếng, blogger sử dụng và giới thiệu những sticker này với fan của họ. Một buổi party mở màn, với các Emotican thật, và sự có mặt của các KOL đã thu hút sự chú ý về mặt PR, tiếp cận đến hàng triệu bạn đọc tuổi teen trên báo mạng.

Sự kiện offline cũng không kém phần thú vị. Coca-Cola lắp đặt billboard tương tác trực tiếp trên các tuyến đường đông đúc ở Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh. Người đi đường sẽ không thể không chú ý đến những tin nhắn vui trên billboard. Những cảm xúc thật này được ghi lại qua clip đăng tải trên Youtube "Billboard biết nói”, xuất hiện trên top các báo mạng cho tuổi teen chỉ trong vòng 1 tuần thực hiện. Clip này trở nên viral chỉ trong ít tiếng đăng tải.

Mục tiêu của chiến dịch mong muốn khuyến khích các bạn trẻ thể hiện cảm xúc của mình bằng Emotican qua nhiều cách khác nhau.

Thực hiện trên di động

Vì sticker là ngôn ngữ của tin nhắn di động, tất cả các khoản quảng cáo trên điện thoạii đều được tập trung vào quảng bá cho sticker Emotican.

Việc tải sticker rất dễ dàng. Người dùng chỉ cần cài đặt ứng dụng Zalo trên điện thoại. Tải sticker xuống bằng đường link trên Zalo hoặc trên các nhãn lon Coca-Cola. Người dùng cũng có thể dùng link download từ các sticker Emotican mà bạn của họ gửi đến họ.

Sticker này cũng có thể được tải và sử dụng trên Facebook. Từ landing page chính của chiến dịch, người dùng chỉ cần chọn Emotican họ thích. Một đường link sẽ được tạo ra và khi dán đường link này lên Facebook, Emotican sticker sẽ hiện lên.

Trong suốt những năm hiện diện trên thị trường Việt Nam, quảng bá của Coca-Cola chỉ tập trung vào những dịp có lượng cầu sản phẩm lớn như dịp Tết âm lịch. Tuy nhiên, những dịp này không phù hợp để tiếp cận với đối tượng tuổi teen. Hè là thời điểm phù hợp nhất nhưng cạnh tranh trong dịp này rất gay gắt. Đối với Coca-Cola, đây là một thử thách khi tìm kiếm nền tảng tiếp cận giới trẻ vào dịp hè ở Việt Nam.

Coca-Cola hiểu rằng các bạn teen dùng tin nhắn với bạn hoặc nhóm bạn của mình, nhưng có rất ít các nghiên cứu có thể chứng thực được khả năng thành công của sticker.

Niềm tin chính là nền tảng của chiến dịch này. Với trên 30 triệu người dùng và 450 triệu tin nhắn được gửi hàng ngày. Ứng dụng Zalo - được coi là LINE của Việt Nam - đã vượt qua Whatsapp và Viber để trở thành mạng xã hội trên di động số 1 Việt Nam. Điều này càng khiến Coca-Cola tự tin hơn vào quyết định của mình.

Đánh giá kết quả

Kết quả đạt được nằm ngoài mong đợi của Coca-Cola.

Việc hợp tác với Zalo đã giúp Coca-Cola tiếp cận đến hầu hết giới trẻ Việt Nam, chiếm 85% người dùng Zalo. Coca-Cola đã tiếp cận được gần 50% đối tượng mục tiêu chỉ trong vòng 3 tuần đầu chiến dịch.

Sticker Emotican đã phá vỡ kỷ lục Sticker được download nhiều nhất trên Zalo, với 2 triệu lượt tải trong tuần đầu tung ra. Tổng kết lại, bộ sticker Emotican được download 4 triệu bản, gấp 6 lần bộ sticker được tải nhiều nhất trên Zalo lúc bấy giờ.

Hơn 12 triệu lon Coca-Cola mới (với sticker Emotican) được chia sẻ trên Zalo bên cạnh lon Coca-Cola thật, số lượng sticker Emotican được chia sẻ là 3.5 sticker/ người dùng. Điều này đã giúp Coca-Cola thực sự thu hút được giới trẻ - khiến họ xem xét lựa chọn Coca-Cola khi mua thức uống giải khát.

Kết quả - Tác động đến thị trường

Trước chiến dịch "Trao Coca-Cola trao cảm xúc”, di động chưa từng được coi là kênh tiếp cận chính cho các thương hiệu. Chắc chắn đã có rất nhiều chiến dịch từng sử dụng tin nhắn điện thoại nhưng phải thấu hiểu hành vi đối tượng mục tiêu và có được một đối tác phù hợp mới có thể tạo thành một chiến dịch thành công như "Trao Coca-Cola trao cảm xúc”.

Cuối cùng, niềm vui phải được chia sẻ, và Coca-Cola, một lần nữa, chuyển tải thành công thông điệp này.

Once various tools have been used to analyse the case, the findings of this analysis need to be incorporated into practical and actionable solutions. These solutions will also be the Coca-Cola in Vietnam case answers. These are usually in the form of strategies that the organisation can adopt. The following step-by-step procedure can be used to organise the Harvard Business case solution and recommendations:

• The first step of the solution is to come up with a corporate level strategy for the organisation. This part consists of solutions that address issues faced by the organisation on a strategic level. This could include suggestions, changes or recommendations to the company's vision, mission and its strategic objectives. It can include recommendations on how the organisation can work towards achieving these strategic objectives. Furthermore, it needs to be explained how the stated recommendations will help in solving the main issue mentioned in the case and where the company will stand in the future as a result of these.
• The second step of the solution is to come up with a business level strategy. The HBR case studies may present issues faced by a part of the organisation. For example, the issues may be stated for marketing and the role of a marketing manager needs to be assumed. So, recommendations and suggestions need to address the strategy of the marketing department in this case. Therefore, the strategic objectives of this business unit (Marketing) will be laid down in the solutions and recommendations will be made as to how to achieve these objectives. Similar would be the case for any other business unit or department such as human resources, finance, IT etc. The important thing to note here is that the business level strategy needs to be aligned with the overall corporate strategy of the organisation. For example, if one suggests the organisation to focus on differentiation for competitive advantage as a corporate level strategy, then it can't be recommended for the Coca-Cola in Vietnam Case Study Solution that the business unit should focus on costs.
• The third step is not compulsory but depends from case to case. In some HBR case studies, one may be required to analyse an issue at a department. This issue may be analysed for a manager or employee as well. In these cases, recommendations need to be made for these people. The solution may state that objectives that these people need to achieve and how these objectives would be achieved.

The case study analysis and solution, and Coca-Cola in Vietnam case answers should be written down in the Coca-Cola in Vietnam case memo, clearly identifying which part shows what. The Coca-Cola in Vietnam case should be in a professional format, presenting points clearly that are well understood by the reader.

Alternate solution to the Coca-Cola in Vietnam HBR case study

It is important to have more than one solution to the case study. This is the alternate solution that would be implemented if the original proposed solution is found infeasible or impossible due to a change in circumstances. The alternate solution for Coca-Cola in Vietnam is presented in the same way as the original solution, where it consists of a corporate level strategy, business level strategy and other recommendations.

Implementation of Coca-Cola in Vietnam Case Solution

The case study does not end at just providing recommendations to the issues at hand. One is also required to provide how these recommendations would be implemented. This is shown through a proper implementation framework. A detailed implementation framework helps in distinguishing between an average and an above average case study answer. A good implementation framework shows the proposed plan and how the organisations' resources would be used to achieve the objectives. It also lays down the changes needed to be made as well as the assumptions in the process.

• A proper implementation framework shows that one has clearly understood the case study and the main issue within it.
• It shows that one has been clarified with the HBR fundamentals on the topic.
• It shows that the details provided in the case have been properly analysed.
• It shows that one has developed an ability to prioritise recommendations and how these could be successfully implemented.
• The implementation framework also helps by removing out any recommendations that are not practical or actionable as these could not be implemented. Therefore, the implementation framework ensures that the solution to the Coca-Cola in Vietnam Harvard case is complete and properly answered.

Recommendations and Action Plan for Coca-Cola in Vietnam case analysis

For Coca-Cola in Vietnam, based on the SWOT Analysis, Porter Five Forces Analysis, PESTEL Analysis, VRIO analysis, Value Chain Analysis, BCG Matrix analysis, Ansoff Matrix analysis, and the Marketing Mix analysis, the recommendations and action plan are as follows:

• Coca-Cola in Vietnam should focus on making use of its strengths identified from the VRIO analysis to make the most of the opportunities identified from the PESTEL.
• Coca-Cola in Vietnam should enhance the value creating activities within its value chain.
• Coca-Cola in Vietnam should invest in its stars and cash cows, while getting rid of the dogs identified from the BCG Matrix analysis.
• To achieve its overall corporate and business level objectives, it should make use of the marketing mix tools to obtain desired results from its target market.

What is Harvard Business School (HBS) Case Method

Harvard Business School (HBS) Case Method, a renowned approach to business education, using business case studies in the field of marketing, sales, leadership, technology, finance, enterpreneurship, human resources, and more .

Core Principles:

• Real-World Dilemmas: HBS cases delve into genuine business challenges faced by companies, exposing students to the complexities and uncertainties of real-world decision-making.
• Active Participation: Students are not passive recipients of knowledge. The case method emphasizes active participation through case discussions, fostering critical thinking and analysis.
• Developing Judgment: There are often no single “correct” answers in case studies. The focus is on developing sound judgment by weighing evidence, considering various perspectives, and making well-supported recommendations.
• Diversity and Collaboration: Diverse backgrounds and experiences enrich case discussions. Students learn from each other as they analyze the case from different viewpoints.

Structure and Implementation:

• Pre-Class Preparation: Effective case study learning hinges on thorough preparation. Students are expected to read and analyze the case beforehand, identifying key issues, conducting research, and formulating potential solutions.
• Case Discussion: The case discussion in class is the heart of the method. The instructor facilitates a dynamic discussion, encouraging active participation from all students.
• Open-Ended Questions: Instead of spoon-feeding answers, instructors pose open-ended questions that stimulate critical thinking and analysis.
• Cold Calling: The HBS method is known for its “cold calling” technique, where professors randomly call on students to respond, promoting active engagement and preparation.
• Socratic Dialogue: Instructors often employ the Socratic method, asking probing questions to challenge assumptions, encourage deeper analysis, and draw out student reasoning.

Benefits of the HBS Case Method:

• Develops Critical Thinking Skills: Grappling with complex business problems and analyzing diverse perspectives strengthens critical thinking abilities.
• Enhances Communication Skills: Active participation and clear articulation of ideas within case discussions hone communication skills.
• Sharpens Analytical Abilities: Students learn to dissect complex situations, identify key drivers, and weigh evidence effectively.
• Promotes Decision-Making Confidence: The case method fosters the ability to make well-reasoned decisions under uncertainty.
• Builds Leadership Skills: Active participation in discussions and persuasively advocating for solutions develops leadership potential.
• Prepares Students for Real-World Business: The case method equips students with the knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of real-world business environments.

This step ensures that the writer has all the necessary materials to begin the in-depth analysis.

The delivery includes a comprehensive report that outlines the problem, detailed analysis, proposed solutions, and actionable recommendations. The case study solution is presented in a clear, structured format that is easy to understand and implement. This step marks the culmination of the writer’s efforts and provides the client with a well-crafted solution that addresses all the guidelines and expectations .

Step 5: Improvements (If Required)

After the delivery of the case study solution, clients have the opportunity to review the document and request any necessary improvements. This step ensures that the final product meets the client’s satisfaction and adheres to all specified requirements. The writer makes the required adjustments based on the client’s feedback, fine-tuning the analysis and recommendations as needed. This iterative process guarantees that the case study solution is of the highest quality and fully aligned with the client’s expectations.

Importance of Each Step in the Process

Filling the form and uploading guidelines.

This initial step is critical as it sets the direction for the entire project. Clear and detailed guidelines ensure that the writer understands the scope, objectives, and specific requirements, reducing the risk of misalignment and ensuring a focused approach.

Uploading the Case Study PDF

Providing the case study in its original format ensures that the writer has all the necessary context and background information. This step is crucial for a thorough understanding of the problem and accurate analysis.

Communication with the Writer

Direct communication allows for clarification of any doubts and ensures that both the client and the writer have a mutual understanding of the project deliverables. This interaction is essential for tailoring the solution to meet the client’s specific needs.

Delivery of the Solution

Delivering a comprehensive and well-structured case study solution provides the client with actionable insights and recommendations. This step showcases the writer’s expertise and ensures that the client receives a valuable product that addresses the case study’s challenges effectively.

Experiment: How Coca-Cola Vietnam made their ad strategy more efficient by pushing YouTube’s reach

What we set out to test.

Can YouTube video ads at scale continue to unlock efficient nationwide reach and brand impact in addition to TV campaigns?

The background

Coca-Cola , one of the world’s leading beverage brands, has long been leveraging TV and YouTube as a key channel to reach mass audiences. However, for its Vietnamese audience, Coca-Cola wanted to shake things up by finding ways to connect with its audience more effectively, particularly younger consumers.

As more Vietnamese consumers are turning to YouTube to shop, browse, and buy , Coca-Cola decided to explore if increasing investment in YouTube could still unlock incremental reach and impact efficiently, particularly in helping the brand reach younger audiences nationwide.

How we set the experiment up

The team set up 2 separate TV and YouTube campaigns for its target audience of consumers aged 18 to 34 years old.

• TV: TV campaign (comprising 70% of media budget)
• YouTube: TrueView for Reach and Bumper Ads campaigns (comprising 30% of media budget)

The experiment ran in Vietnam for a period of 1 month. In addition, Coca-Cola utilized cross-media reach reporting to measure the probability of reaching a unique user at least once across their TV and YouTube campaigns. This allowed Coca-Cola to observe the unique increase in reach that YouTube campaigns add to TV campaigns, showing the true impact of YouTube.

Solutions we used

• TrueView for Reach
• Cross-Media Reach report ( Available in select markets. Reach out to your sales representative for more information )

What we learned

Overall the campaign delivered 67% nationwide reach across both TV and YouTube campaigns for audiences aged 18 to 34.

When comparing the impact of TV and YouTube across the country, Coca-Cola found that the YouTube campaign connected with more consumers and delivered the following results:

All in all, a TV-plus-YouTube combined media approach continues to unlock incremental nationwide reach and brand impact. Coca-Cola’s research also further proved that YouTube helps advertisers reach their core audience at a significantly lower cost per reach in comparison to TV.

This has proven to us that YouTube is a crucial platform for cross-screen planning to help Coca-Cola reach our target audiences nationwide effectively.”
