A location as a distinctive asset. Possible? For sure.
Constellation Brands flagship beer Corona boasts the most distinctive asset any beer owns: the lime wedge in the neck of the bottle. Bar tenders all over the globe have been told 'this is how you serve a Corana'. It's a one of a kind DBA. But there's more to this branding success story. Find here the hero spot for Corona by agency MullenLowe U.S.
What other elements can be seen as brand cues?
I'd say...
1️⃣ logo, label and bottle design - obviously
2️⃣ the celeb (Snoop Dogg out, welcoming star actor Pedro Pascal)
3️⃣ patches of yellow in set design & props
4️⃣ the beach & deck chair setting
Am I missing anything?
The script of the new campaign poses some questions (like, what's up with restaurant lady? And why does the Pedro suddenly dive on a food trolley?🤔) but definitely unfolds a story of letting go and relaxing, as if you're on a beach, living La Vida Mas Fina. Cheers to that 🍻🍋🟩

Did you know that Coca Cola shaped the figure of Santa Claus as we view the character today. Fascinating.
Nearly 100 years ago people weren't drinking enough Coke during the winter, so the usual suspects (ad guys) put their heads together and concluded Santa Claus would be the perfect unofficial spokesman for their client's product. I guess it's why Santa's colors are the same as those on a can of Coke classic.
You can read all about it below.
Coke is the most recognizable brand in the world, so clearly tactics like retconning a beloved cultural figure, or releasing a chart-topping single about world peace to peddle your sugar water work.
The question I've spent my career exploring is WHY do these tactics work? Clearly Coke is selling something other than sugar water, which means people are buying something other than sugar water when they scoop one up at the gas station or movie theater.
I have my own opinion about what Coke is actually selling, but even if I'm slightly off, I'm a lot closer than Pepsi, who launched a series of nationwide taste tests in the 80's to prove consumers prefer their product. It didn't work.
It's not about the better product. It never was. Read that again.
If you've got a great product, awesome. Do you have a great story? Do you have great ideas? Are you selling your ideas in the information marketplace? You won't even get a chance to compete in the product marketplace until you do.
Coke, and thousands of other brands, prove that stories sell product better than product sells product. Write your story.
