Mountain Dew had become the third largest CSD by 1999 due to reduce in sales of Diet Coke .
Alternative non-carbonated drinks had started making their band presence and teens were attracted
towards it. The effect was of these non-carbonated drinks gaining prominence was felt by Mountain
Dew too.

In these scenario Moffitt faced

1. The continuation of the Do the Dew campaign, considering extreme sports were too crowded
with brands and Mountain Dew won’t get much visibility.

Bull.

Motiff and his team and the team at BBDO prepared Mountain Dew Brand communication strategy
for 2000 which communicated that drinking Mountain Dew gave an exhilarating experience.

sales in 1999 and it had expanded its customer base and it had placed itself as third most popular
