In this episode, Dr. Joseph Michelli shares a business case based on Inca Kola, a beverage that once dominated Coca-Cola in the Peruvian market. Originally developed in 1935, Inca Kola was more than just a refreshing drink for the locals; it encapsulated the essence of Peruvian pride and heritage. Despite Coca-Cola's colossal global presence, they faced stiff resistance from Inca Kola, highlighting the power of emotional and cultural value in branding and experience delivery.
