  Introduction How many times have you been exposed to advertisements when you are outside your house? We bet the answer to this question will be thousands of times! Out of Home Concept (OOH) traditionally refers to the use of billboards on roads, pamphlets on bus stops and even the metro and trains too for the purpose of advertisement.

Introduction The fierce competition that exists between Coca- Cola and Pepsi is known to all. While Pepsi generated more sales in the year 2021, still Coca-Cola continues to be a more valuable brand than its competitor. But if we happen to look behind the scenes, there is a twist to it which might have gone unnoticed by us despite being exposed to it in our daily lives. Unravelling The Truth Well Coca-Cola is an all-beverage company. Its product portfolio is a testimony to this fact. It has been investing in various soft drinks as part of its hedging strategy and its recent investment in Costa Coffee (US Coffee Chain) in August at a valuation of $5.1 billion is all set to take the form of partnerships with cinema halls in India.
