Summary
What do you do when 90% of Australian households refuse to try your category? This was the task facing Nestea, the challenger in the Ready To Drink, Iced Tea category. Lipton, at 70% of share, spent $35m advertising the health benefits of Tea yet Iced Tea only accounted for 2% of NARTD sales in 2007. The barrier to consumption was taste, the belief that Iced Tea is hot tea gone cold. This is a story of how advertising repositioned Iced Tea in the minds of young Australians and the trade, attracted new users and increased market share for Nestea.
