In June 2015, the Company completed the transactions that it had entered into with The Coca-Cola Company ("Coca-Cola") in August 2014, pursuant to which (1) Coca-Cola became our largest individual shareholder at 16.7%; (2) we acquired Coca-Cola’s worldwide energy drink business; (3) we sold our non-energy drink business to Coca-Cola; and (4) we transitioned the major portion of our energy drink distribution in the United States to Coca-Cola bottlers and commenced with transitions to the Coca-Cola system bottlers internationally. We have been actively engaged in negotiating distribution agreements and terms with Coca-Cola system bottlers internationally and have made good progress in this regard, which we believe will enhance our long term growth prospects internationally. Gross sales rose to $3.1 billion in 2015, crossing the $3.0 billion threshold for the first time, from $2.8 billion in 2014. Net sales were $2.7 billion for the 2015 year, compared to $2.5 billion in 2014. Our Monster Energy® drinks are now sold in approximately 120 countries and territories around the world. The energy drink brands we acquired from Coca-Cola are sold in approximately 111 countries and territories. We sell both Monster and the Coca-Cola energy brands in a vast majority of geographies worldwide. However, there are many countries in which we are only selling one of these brands, which provides us with the opportunity to introduce additional brands in these geographies in the near future. I would like to express my gratitude for the support and leadership shown, in particular relating to the negotiations with Coca-Cola and the closing of the transactions, by Mr. Hilton Schlosberg, our President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and would also like to express my gratitude to the direction and guidance provided by Mr. Mark Hall our Chief Marketing Officer, who is now actively engaged in repositioning the Coca-Cola acquired brands. During the year we sadly bade farewell to the management team and employees of the former Warehouse (Hansen) division who have transitioned to the VEB Division of Coca-Cola, and wish them well and success in their future endeavors. I would also like to express my personal thanks to our consumers, stockholders, customers, bottlers and distribution partners and suppliers for their continued support. To our management and employees, my sincere thanks and appreciation for all their efforts, which are evidenced by our continued success. To our stockholders, thank you for the trust you have placed in our management team. We have an exciting road ahead of us and look forward to enhancing our future performance. Sincerely, Rodney C.

BUSINESS As a result of the TCCC Transaction (as defined and described below), Monster Beverage 1990 Corporation (formerly Monster Beverage Corporation) (“Old Monster”) effected a holding company reorganization on June 12, 2015, pursuant to which it became a wholly owned subsidiary of New Laser Corporation, which then changed its name to “Monster Beverage Corporation”. When this report uses the words “the Company” “we”, “us”, and “our”, these words refer to Monster Beverage Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. We are a holding company and conduct no operating business except through our consolidated subsidiaries. Acquisitions and Divestitures On June 12, 2015, Old Monster, now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the transactions contemplated by the definitive agreements entered into with The Coca-Cola Company (“TCCC”) on August 14, 2014, which provided for a long-term strategic relationship in the global energy drink category (the “TCCC Transaction”). Also, on June 12, 2015, Old Monster effected a holding company reorganization in connection with the TCCC Transaction by merging New Laser Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into Old Monster, with Old Monster surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Holding Company Reorganization”), and the Company changed its name from New Laser Corporation to “Monster Beverage Corporation.” In the Holding Company Reorganization, each Old Monster common share, par value $0.005 per share, outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization (other than any Old Monster common shares owned by Old Monster immediately prior to the closing of the TCCC Transaction, which were cancelled) was converted automatically into the right to receive one Company common share, par value $0.005 per share.

  • Coca-Cola: a Powerful Brand – an Effective Marketing Strategy
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by eLibrary National Mining University Zaloznykh K., Kaimashnikova K. T.V. Kogemyakina, research supervisor Kriviy Rih Economic Institute of National Vadim Hetman Economic University of Kyiv COCA-COLA: A POWERFUL BRAND – AN EFFECTIVE MARKETING STRATEGY Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business, large or small, retail or business to business. It's important to spend time investing in researching, defining, and building your brand. An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly competitive markets. To succeed in branding you must understand the needs and wants of your customers and prospects. You do this by integrating your brand strategies through your company at every point of public contact. Brand looks like the relationship between a product and its customer. A strong brand is invaluable as the battle for customers intensifies day by day. Brand is the source of a promise to your consumer. It's a foundational piece in your marketing communication and one you do not want to be without. For the last several years, when we ask people to think about a successful brand, we often ask them to think of Coca-Cola because, well, Coke is it. That’s why we decide to investigate the world’s powerful brand – coca - cola. The Coca-Cola Company is the world's largest beverage company, largest manufacturer, distributor and marketer of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups in the world, and one of the largest corporations in the United States.

The Solution • Creative Strategy (Page 11) • Media Objectives and Strategies (Page 12) AMPlify Your Night! 3 I. Plan Summary AMP is an energy drink product that has been in desperate need of a re-branding. The current brand appeals mainly toward males. This is because of the masculine look of the product, as well as its current advertising being geared towards males who play sports. Its advertisements mainly list the product as being able to enhance ones skills and endurance on the playing field. Due to this way of advertising, other demographics are left out. Our plan would shift the focus to other demographics, specifically toward women. Our solution to this would be to re-brand the product to have two separate lines: one for women and one for men. The male product line will stay the same as the current line that is available now. However the women's product line will feature a sleek new look that is both feminine and attractive. The advertising for this brand new line will gear the product towards those who enjoy the nightlife.

Samo Kropivnik Segmentacija pivcev energijskih pijač v Sloveniji glede na njihove življenjske stile Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2015 Hvala mentorju dr. Samu Kropivniku za pomoč in nasvete pri izdelavi te diplomske naloge. Hvala staršema, ki sta me že kot majhnega naučila, da je kdaj pa kdaj treba stisniti zobe. Hvala prijateljem za podporo, brez katere bi bilo poletje 2015 veliko težje. Hvala sodelavcem za podporo in razumevanje. Hvala Vida! Segmentacija pivcev energijskih pijač v Sloveniji glede na njihove življenjske stile Življenjski stili so eden izmed odsevov in tudi ”produktov” potrošniške družbe. Dolgo so bili pogojeni z družbenim statusom oziroma ekonomskim razredom, kateremu je nekdo pripadal, danes pa predstavljajo skupni imenovalec posameznikom in skupinam, ki dobrine, čas in prostor trošijo na podobne načine. Preko življenjskega stila posameznik pripoveduje svojo zgodbo sebi in svetu. Eden izmed pomembnih gradnikov življenjskega stila je simbolni kapital, katerega svojim izdelkom in tržnokomunikacijskim naporom v zajetni meri pripenja več milijard evrov vredna industrija energijskih pijač. V diplomski nalogi sem s pomočjo statistične analize primarnih podatkov uspešno podprl domnevo, da je slovenske pivce energijskih pijač na podlagi njihovih življenjskih stilov mogoče razdeliti v več med seboj različnih segmentov: tradicionalne borce, samozavestne srečneže in neobremenjene zmerneže. Ključne besede: življenjski stili, potrošništvo, energijske pijače, razvrščanje v skupine Lifestyle segmentation study of energy drink consumers in Slovenia Today lifestyles are considered as noticeable reflections and “products” of consumer societies.

  • Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Marketing Unveiled
    SUGAR-SWEETENED BEVERAGE MARKETING UNVEILED VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4 THE PRODUCT: A VARIED OFFERING TO RESPOND TO A SEGMENTED MARKET A Multidimensional Approach to Reduce the Appeal of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages This report is a central component of the project entitled “A Multidimensional Approach to Reducing the Appeal of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSBs)” launched by the Association pour la santé publique du Québec (ASPQ) and the Quebec Coalition on Weight-Related Problems (Weight Coalition) as part of the 2010 Innovation Strategy of the Public Health Agency of Canada on the theme of “Achieving Healthier Weights in Canada’s Communities”. This project is based on a major pan-Canadian partnership involving: • the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) • the Fédération du sport francophone de l’Alberta (FSFA) • the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) • the Université Laval • the Public Health Association of BC (PHABC) • the Ontario Public Health Association (OPHA) The general aim of the project is to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages by changing attitudes toward their use and improving the food environment by making healthy choices easier. To do so, the project takes a three-pronged approach: • The preparation of this report, which offers an analysis of the Canadian sugar-sweetened beverage market and the associated marketing strategies aimed at young people (Weight Coalition/Université Laval); • The dissemination of tools, research, knowledge and campaigns on marketing sugar-sweetened beverages (PHABC/OPHA/Weight Coalition); • The adaptation in Francophone Alberta (FSFA/RSEQ) of the Quebec project Gobes-tu ça?, encouraging young people to develop a more critical view of advertising in this industry.
