DESCRIPTION
Nescafé is beloved around the world. What began as a solution to Brazil’s coffee surplus problem during the Great Depression is now one of the most consumed beverages on the planet. *What if Nescafé had tried this today, though? Marketing today looks much different:* 🔗 https://clickhubspot.com/cb68d2 According to Nestlé, over 6,100 cups of Nescafé are sipped every second. But how did Nestlé convince tea-loving nations like Japan and the UK and coffee-producing countries like Mexico alike to embrace instant coffee? The Hustle’s Noelle Medina breaks down the strange and strategic rise of Nescafé. It’s not just a story about coffee — it’s a case study in global marketing, cultural psychology and how one brand rewired our daily rituals.
