Thats all well and good with an energy drink.....but how can RB create such a buzz about their cola, which in essence is no different than a coke and pepsi, and get people to change their choice?
The brand image with RB and Vodka was carfully crafted due to it being seen as a new concoction and therefore only the original will do. Bourbon and Coke has been around long before your dad was even a twinkle in your grandfathers eye!
