Q.5
Case ? Red Bull
Red Bull is an energy drink sold by Austrian company Red Bull GmbH, created in
1987. The company has been doing Integrated Marketing Communication very
successfully. Red Bull?s slogan is ?it gives you wings.? Red Bull?s international
marketing campaign targets young men mostly with extreme sports. When you see this
commercial, you may know how many kinds of extreme sports that the company
sponsors to. These range from mountain biking, BMX, motocross, windsurfing,
snowboarding, cliff-diving, skating, freestyle motocross, rally, Formula 1 racing, to
breakdancing.
Red Bull also supports specific extreme sports players. Especially, Felix
Baumgartner?s (who is sponsored by Red Bull) free fall is live broadcasting throughout
all over the world on Youtube and television, on SNS, three hundred thousand of
people share the picture of the moment in just 30 minutes. It is very efficient to let
many people know about the brand with sports sponsorship marketing, because its
slogan and the concept of extreme sports are matched very well.
Red Bull sponsors not only sports but also music festivals and other events. The
company shows its image based on creative and powerful passion at many festivals. In
Korea, Red Bull was one of representative sponsor at many famous music festivals
such as World DJ Festival and Ultra Music Festival (UMF). At music festival, many
people want to enjoy and used up their energy. They don?t want to be exhausted in
short time. In this situation, cool energy drink is useful to enjoy the party. Red Bull
finds out when and where people want the drink and satisfies people?s needs.
There is another marketing that only Red Bull has been doing is ?Red Bull Wings?. It?s
a kind of viral marketing. ?Wings?, which is similar to help advertise brand and consist
of young women university students, come various festivals and event. They drive cute
concept cars and give Red Bull energy drinks to people for free. Because of this
promotion, SNS postings about ?Wings? can be easily spread and shared by many
people in short time.
In an article, it said that Red Bull invests their 30 percent of profit on marketing. The
company has been thinking about what would be effective to advertise their brand.
Selling energy drink and sponsoring extreme sports team are different matter.
However, they combined their product with the slogan and various supporting
activities with their creative plans, and became the most famous and bestselling energy
drink company.
1. Explain how Red Bull has used various integrated marketing communications
tools to make itself a successful brand.
2. Discuss how Red Bull combines above-the-line as well as below-the-line
promotional techniques.

Q.5
Case ? Jio Digital Life
A day after Reliance Industries? Mukesh Ambani kicked-off his company?s ambitious
telecom venture, India woke up to full front-page advertisements of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi in what appeared to be an advertising campaign for Reliance Jio. ?In
the journey of time, there come a few life changing moments. Our honorable Prime
Minister?s inspiring vision of a Digital India is one such movement. Jio is dedicated to
realizing our Prime Minister?s Digital India vision for 1.2 billion Indians. Jio Digital
Life will give the power of data to each Indian, to fulfil every dream and collectively
take India to the global digital leadership?,? reads a paragraph of text that comes just
below an image of Modi in dark blue jacket, which is incidentally the same color as
Jio?s logo.
Over the course of the day, irate readers and citizens vented their surprise and anger
over a Prime Minister endorsing a private product. By evening, the television
advertisements had started. A ninety-second clip starts with images of India?s most
famous icons: Swami Vivekanand, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore and
Mother Teresa. This gives way to a portion of Modi?s Independence Day speech this
year, where the prime minister speaks of his government?s Digital India programme
and how it will uplift India. The final portion links Reliance Jio?s aims specifically
with Digital India, and talks of how the service will connect India?s 1.2 billion people
with free voice calls. ?The video, if not the newspaper advertisements, seem to be very
cleverly played. There?s no specific talks of a product or product launch. They have
tried to play it off as a dedication to Digital India, even though it?s clearly obvious that
it is not. I mean it comes one day after Jio launched,? said the senior executive of one
of India?s largest advertising and public relations firm.
The most important question that emerged, was whether Modi?s image was used in the
brand campaign illegally. Is permission required to use the prime minister?s image in
both advertisements and tributes or dedication campaigns? The first line of defense,
the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950, clearly states that
??No person shall, except in such cases and under such conditions as may be
prescribed by the Central Government use? for the purpose of any trade, business,
calling or profession? any name or emblem specified in the Schedule or, any
colorable imitation thereof without the previous permission of the Central Government
or of such officer of Government as may be authorized in this behalf by the Central
Government.? This law suggests that written permission is required. The Reliance Jio
campaign, on the face of it, appears to have taken a similar angle; marrying the Jio
product to Modi?s Digital India.
1. According to you, is it ethical for a private company to use a serving Prime
Minister?s name for their advertising campaign? Justify your answer with
reasons.
2. Do you think there must have been some agreement between Reliance Jio and
the ruling government before the advertisement appeared in the newspaper?
How would you react to this situation if you were the Controller of
Advertisements in India?
