Further, the Wahaha brand has generously used home grown celebraties for all its products.

By projecting Wahaha’s products as china’s own, the Wahaha brand has carved out a clear positioning in the market against the global brands.

The company has asked you to give them some preliminary advice about how to segment this market and which target segments might be most appropriate and why.
