Scenario 5-1
At meeting with Snapple distributors in NYC, Cadbury executives unveil new ads/products and stress that the company will work to re-forge strong consumer connections for brand. Cadbury Americas Beverages CEO Gil Cassagne acknowledges, "recently Snapple's connection with consumers has been slipping (and) performance has been volatile." Snapple has had some "frustrating issues and setbacks," but promises improvements and asks distributors for "open mind" and to "believe again." He declares Cadbury will return "to the roots of what made Snapple, Snapple." He acknowledges the company doesn't yet have "all the answers." But Cassagne promises that the company will work with distributors and declares: "I'm all about winning and you are, too." He says "winning" means enjoying "above-category profitable growth."
