In comparison of marketing, we compare Coca Cola, McDonald and Pepsin advertisement. Among the three advertisement Coca Cola stands to be the best advertisement. Its advertisement is focusing on brand rather than products. It is engaging and looks local and therefore, the targeted customers can easily associate with and it is the reason its advertisement is appealing and popular in the market. Pepsi advertise products and this make it difficult to build customer loyalty.
