Always What is the purpose of a strong brand: to attract customers, to build loyalty, to motivate staff? All true, but for a commercial brand at least, the first answer must always be ‘to make money’. Coca-Cola: Huge investments are made in the design, launch, and ongoing promotion of brands. Given their potential financial value, this makes sense. Unfortunately, most organisations fail to go beyond that, missing huge opportunities to effectively make use of what are often their most important assets. Monitoring of brand performance World’s should be the next step, but is often sporadic. Where it does take place, it frequently lacks financial rigour and is heavily reliant on qualitative measures, poorly understood by non-marketers. David Haigh Favourite Soda As a result, marketing teams struggle to communicate the value of their work and CEO, Brand Finance boards then underestimate the significance of their brands to the business. Sceptical finance teams, unconvinced by what they perceive as marketing mumbo jumbo, may fail to agree necessary investments. What marketing spend there is, can end up poorly directed as marketers are left to operate with insufficient financial guidance Tops Brand or accountability. The end result can be a slow but steady downward spiral of poor communication, wasted resources, and a negative impact on the bottom line. Brand Finance bridges the gap between marketing and finance. Our teams have Ranking. experience across a wide range of disciplines from market research and visual identity to tax and accounting. We understand the importance of design, advertising, and marketing, but we also believe that the ultimate and overriding purpose of brands is to make money. That is why we connect brands to the bottom line. + Coca-Cola retains title as most valuable soft drink brand, bubbling up 19% to US$36.2 billion, while By valuing brands, we provide a mutually intelligible language for marketing and finance teams. Marketers then have the ability to communicate the significance of Pepsi’s brand value decreased by 8% what they do, and boards can use the information to chart a course that maximises profits. Without knowing the precise, financial value of an asset, how can you know Nestlé dominates as most valuable food brand and if you are maximising your returns? If you are intending to license a brand, how can + you know you are getting a fair price? If you are intending to sell, how do you know boasts world’s largest food & drink brand portfolio, what the right time is? How do you decide which brands to discontinue, whether to breaking the US$70 billion mark rebrand and how to arrange your brand architecture? Brand Finance has conducted thousands of brand and branded business valuations to help answer these questions. + Corporate brands take a hit: Kraft, Unilever, and Heinz all drop in brand value Brand Finance’s research revealed the compelling link between strong brands and stock market performance. It was found that investing in highly-branded companies would lead to a return almost double that of the average for the S&P 500 as a whole. + China’s Yili remains most valuable dairy brand in Asia and on the global stage closes gap behind Acknowledging and managing a company’s intangible assets taps into the hidden value that lies within it.

  • Sugar Sweetened Beverages
    Consensus Statement Sugary drinks Definitions “Sugary drinks” refers to sugar-sweetened beverages which are all non-alcoholic water based beverages with added sugar. “Sugar-sweetened soft drinks” and “sugary soft-drinks” refer to all non-alcoholic carbonated drinks, excluding non-sugar sweetened varieties and energy drinks. Key messages The consumption of sugary drinks is associated with increased energy intake and in turn, weight gain and obesity. It is well established that obesity is a leading risk factor for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers. Excess sugary drinks increases the risk for oral diseases such as dental caries. Young Australians are very high consumers of sugary drinks, and sugar-sweetened soft drinks in particular. The highest consumers of sugary drinks are young males (12 to 24 years of age) and males are higher consumers than females across all age groups. The prevalence of sugary drink consumption is higher among lower socio-economic groups, compared to higher socio-economic groups. A range of factors influence the consumption of sugary drinks, including availability, price and marketing. Recommendations Rethink Sugary Drink (Rethink) partner organisations recommend that adults and children should limit sugary drinks and instead drink water or reduced fat milk. Australian governments, schools, non-government organisations and others should take comprehensive action to encourage children and adults to reduce sugary drink consumption. Actions should include: o The Australian Federal Government

  • Microplastics in Honey, Beer, Milk and Refreshments in Ecuador As Emerging Contaminants
    sustainability Article Microplastics in Honey, Beer, Milk and Refreshments in Ecuador as Emerging Contaminants Milene F. Diaz-Basantes 1, Juan A. Conesa 2,* and Andres Fullana 2 1 Department of Food Technology, Central University of Ecuador, Quito EC1701, Ecuador; [email protected] 2 Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Alicante, 03690 Alicante, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 4 May 2020; Accepted: 7 July 2020; Published: 8 July 2020 Abstract: According to the latest research, marine products have the greatest potential for microplastic (MPs) contamination. Therefore, their presence in terrestrial food has not managed to attract much attention—despite the fact that in the future they may represent a serious environmental risk. Research conducted in Europe and the US has indicated the presence of MPs in tap water, bottled water, table salt, honey, beer and snails for human consumption. The presence of MPs in food has not yet been evaluated in Latin America. This work focused on evaluating two widely consumed beverages: milk and soft drinks. Furthermore, honey and beer samples were analyzed and compared to findings in the literature. All products were sourced in Ecuador. In order to determine correlations with the intensity of anthropogenic activity, samples of both industrially processed and craft products were studied. For the analysis, an improvement of previous techniques used to determine MPs in honey was applied. This technique uses microfiltration followed by degradation of organic matter with hydrogen peroxide—and finally, continuous rinsing with deionized water. Size ranges were established between 0.8–200 mm. The number of microplastics found was between 10 and 100 MPs/L, with an average of around 40 MPs/L.

  • REVIEW Fructose: Should We Worry?
    International Journal of Obesity (2008) 32, S127–S131 & 2008 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0307-0565/08 $32.00 www.nature.com/ijo REVIEW Fructose: should we worry? GA Bray Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, LA, USA Obesity is a growing problem. In the broadest strokes, it is due to a small positive energy balance that persists over a sufficiently long time. Some forms of obesity develop independent of the type of diet that is eaten, whereas others are dependent on the diet. Among the former are individuals with leptin deficiency or genetic defects in the melanocortin 4 receptor. Most human obesity, however, occurs in the presence of highly palatable foodsFfat and calorically sweetened beverages. The increase in obesity in the last 35 years has paralleled the increasing use of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which first appeared just before 1970. Current soft drinks and many other foods are sweetened with this product because it is inexpensive and has useful manufacturing properties. The fructose in HFCS and sugar makes beverages very sweet, and this sweetness may underlie the relation of obesity to soft drink consumption. Fructose consumption has also been related to the metabolic syndrome and to abnormal lipid patterns. This evidence suggests that we should worry about our current level of fructose consumption, which has been increasing steadily for over 200 years and now represents over 10% of the energy intake of some people. International Journal of Obesity (2008) 32, S127–S131; doi:10.1038/ijo.2008.248 Keywords: HFCS (high fructose corn syrup); soft drinks; calories; food; cardiovascular risk Introduction titled Pure, White and Deadly, in which he attributed the rising risks of obesity and heart disease to sugar.

  • High Fructose Corn Syrup How Sweet Fat It Is by Dan Gill, Ethno-Gastronomist
    High Fructose Corn Syrup How Sweet Fat It Is By Dan Gill, Ethno-Gastronomist When I was coming along, back in the ‘50s, soft drinks were a special treat. My father kept two jugs of water in the refrigerator so that one was always ice cold. When we got thirsty, we were expected to drink water. Back then Coke came in 6 ½ ounce glass bottles and a fountain drink at the Drug Store was about the same size and cost a nickel. This was considered to be a normal serving and, along with a Moon Pie or a nickel candy bar, was a satisfying repast (so long as it wasn’t too close to supper time). My mother kept a six-pack of 12-oz sodas in the pantry and we could drink them without asking; but there were rules. We went grocery shopping once a week and that six-pack had to last the entire family. You were expected to open a bottle and either share it or pour about half into a glass with ice and use a bottle stopper to save the rest for later, or for someone else. When was the last time you saw a little red rubber bottle stopper? Sometime in the late 70s things seemed to change and people, especially children, were consuming a lot more soft drinks. Convenience stores and fast food joints served drinks in gigantic cups and we could easily drink the whole thing along with a hamburger and French fries. Many of my friends were struggling with weight problems.

  • Competition Distortions Dossier III.2018
    Competition Distortions Dossier July-September, 2018 1. Milo Threatens to Sue Ovaltine over Defamatory Advertising Campaign Recently, a photo of two billboards from chocolate powder competitors, Milo and Ovaltine, went viral on social media. The Milo copy reads ‘A champion made by Milo’, while the tagline for Ovaltine reads, “As long as you enjoy it, you do not need to be champions”. The two characters in the Ovaltine banner also directly points toward the Milo banner, further strengthening the association between the two across the busy intersection. Nestle, Milo’s parent company, later sent a complaint to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam and the Vietnam Competition Authority (VCA) accusing Friesland Campina — the company that owns Ovaltine and is in charge of its communications strategy — of violating the advertising law by infringing Milo’s copyright and engaging in unfair competition. Besides the billboard, Ovaltine also released a series of advertisement posters seemingly criticising the ‘champion ethos’ that has been central to Milo’s brand identity. These posters also utilise green colour and other visual cues that are often associated with Milo’s advertisements. https://saigoneer.com https://saigoneer.com/saigon-arts-culture/arts-culture-categories/14615- milo-threatens-to-sue-ovaltine-over-defamatory-advertising-campaign C O N T E N T S Food for Thought 1.

  • Sodastream: Why the Fizz Just Went out of the Short Position
    February 6, 2014 SodaStream: Why the Fizz Just Went Out of the Short Position After a year which promised hyper-growth, but delivered somewhat less than spectacular earnings, SodaStream (NASDAQ:SODA) ended trading yesterday at a 52 week low -- but now everything has changed. The news of the day in today’s market is the 10% investment of Coca Cola in Green Mountain Coffee, with the goal of establishing a definitive market for single serve cold beverages. After hours, the market reacted as though it was SODA’s “Uh-Oh” moment … But really? The thin line between competition and proof of concept While Citron does not hold itself out to be a beverage analyst, we think it fair to state that Coca Cola understands this competitive space better than anyone. So what does this mean for SodaStream? The Perfect Storm Short-sellers ought to look at yesterday’s news as the perfect storm of bad news. The stock has closed at a 52 week low Short interest is near its 52 week high. As of Jan 15, 2014, it was 8.7 mm shares or 42% of the outstanding -- that’s 54% of the float. The story has completely changed -- and it will take years to disprove the thesis Citron on SodaStream’s moment February 6, 2014 Page 1 of 5 Enter Pepsi It is an understatement to say that Coke vs Pepsi is a pre-eminent corporate rivalry.
