COCA-COLA: HOW THE SECRET FORMULA BECAME ONE OF THE BIGGEST CORPORATE MYTHS

The Rise of a Legend In 1886, John Stith Pemberton , an Atlanta pharmacist, created a medicinal elixir that was intended to cure a variety of ailments, including headaches and fatigue. This elixir eventually evolved into Coca-Cola, the drink that would dominate global markets and become one of the world's most iconic brands. The secret behind Coca-Cola has always been its unique taste and, more specifically, the formula that Pemberton developed. As the drink's success grew, the secret formula, which had been kept strictly secret since its launch, became one of the greatest corporate myths of the modern world. The legend of Coca-Cola's secret formula is intertwined with the brand's own history. The idea that a valuable industrial secret could be guarded and protected became a central element in the brand's advertising, contributing to the mystery that surrounds Coca-Cola to this day. Practical Example: Imagine a small company, just starting out, and how a story about a "special" secret could help it create an emotional appeal with its consumers. Many small brands use the "mystery" of their ingredients or processes to create a connection with their audience, something you can see in local businesses selling coffee or unique desserts.
