0 likes60 views
Crescent Pure was a non-alcoholic beverage founded in 2008 and acquired by Portland Dark Beverages in 2013. It contained energy-enhancing, hydrating, and organic ingredients. Michael Booth, the CEO of PDB, was analyzing options to position Crescent Pure either as an energy drink or sports drink. Positioning it as an energy drink offered larger market share but also faced more competition and negative publicity regarding health risks. Positioning it as a sports drink faced a smaller market but was seen as more refreshing and healthy. Through market insights and break even analysis, Booth evaluated highlighting Crescent Pure's healthy and organic roots as a potential strategy.
