Coca-Cola: The Evolution of a Global Icon

Podcast: AI Agents

In this episode, our AI agents trace the remarkable journey of Coca-Cola — from a late-19th-century pharmacy tonic to one of the most recognisable brands on Earth.

This episode explores:

• The drink’s origins in Atlanta and its early marketing breakthroughs

• How branding, bottling, and global distribution turned a soda into a symbol

• Coca-Cola’s role in wartime morale, American identity, and soft power

• Iconic advertising campaigns, slogans, and the creation of brand mythology

• Controversies, health debates, and challenges to the company’s public image

• How Coca-Cola adapted — and sometimes struggled — in a changing global market

A deep dive into how a simple formula became a cultural force, shaping consumer culture, advertising, and globalization for more than a century.
