North America
Our flagship market is focused on building strong brands, translating brand value into customer value and strengthening system capabilities to sustain and repeat success. We delivered solid results in a challenging environment, including 1 percent organic volume growth, as we continued our integration efforts following the largest acquisition in our Company’s history, creating synergy savings to reinvest in our brands and capabilities. Strong consumer and customer programs included Coca-Cola Arctic Home, which generated more than 1.3 billion consumer impressions, and continued successful marketing partnerships between Brand Coca-Cola™ and NASCAR™, Diet Coke® and The Heart Truth™ campaign, and Coca-Cola Zero, Powerade and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA®). Effective execution of our occasion-based, brand, package, price and channel strategies delivered volume and value share gains across beverage categories. Coca-Cola Zero achieved its fifth consecutive year of double-digit volume growth, and Powerade, Dasani, Gold Peak™ and Seagram’s™ all grew double digits.
