Track record

Clarity in action.

The Clarity Loop was shaped by real work. These stories come from Alberto Aranda's years leading brand strategy at The Coca-Cola Company.

One brand, 120+ countries

Global brand and portfolio strategy for the Coca-Cola trademark, 2013 to 2016, with a combined marketing budget above $100 million.

Challenge

Coca-Cola's variants were marketed as separate brands, splitting investment and diluting the core idea across markets.

Clarity Loop in action

Led the global brand strategy behind the “One Brand” approach and the “Taste the Feeling” campaign, uniting the variants under one brand. Used consumer insight to evolve the brand's position around specific occasions, at home and away from home, and identified the teen segment as a priority.

Results
  • +3% annual volume growth and +4% revenue growth from portfolio strategy
  • +30% marketing productivity
  • +10 percentage points in teen consumption
  • Market-entry and positioning strategy for Coca-Cola Zero's expansion into 80+ countries

Twenty-six markets, one standard

Senior Marketing Director for Eastern Europe, based in Athens, 2017 to 2019.

Challenge

Twenty-six culturally and economically different countries, each with its own regulations, competitors and independently owned bottling partner.

Clarity Loop in action

Defined where and how to compete in each market, translated consumer and shopper insight into brand and channel strategy, and built a single regional brand standard that partners agreed to execute.

Results
  • 20% volume growth for Coca-Cola Zero Sugar across 26 markets
  • +10 points of household penetration, reaching more than 50% share of at-home consumption
  • Away-from-home share up from 10% to 30% by targeting high-margin socializing venues

Growing profit, not just volume

Global Juice Marketing Director, 2010 to 2012.

Challenge

A global juice portfolio that needed to grow profitably and scale across markets.

Clarity Loop in action

Set a portfolio strategy that moved into higher-margin segments, designed a global master-brand architecture, and led the segmentation research behind a new innovation.

Results
  • +20% profit growth
  • An innovation that reached the #1 brand position among key consumer segments
  • Juice University: a capability program that trained 500+ marketers worldwide
