Abstract

After taking over Canada Dry''s mixers account in 1966, Grey Advertising assembled a successful ad campaign that increased ginger ale sales significantly. But Canada Dry''s market share for ginger ale and its other mixer products had remained the same or declined during this period. A consumer research study, using psychographics and various demographic and attitudinal techniques, is commissioned by Canada Dry as a prelude to a $2 million ad campaign designed to arrest the market share trend. Various consumer behavior, research, and managerial issues are raised by the study. Grey Advertising must now develop a strategy based on the results of this study.
