Pom does it again
Pom Wonderful just came out with a new product that seems sooo weird to me – coffee drinks with pomegranate juice – but you can’t say they are not extraordinarily innovative and that their marketing is not at the cutting edge and refreshing.
Copywriters will admire the site: http://healthybuzz.com/
The product reminds me of when we launched many years ago at PeaceWorks the Raging Raspberry Chipotle sauce from Azteca Trading Company – which flopped for many reasons including that the flavors were a bit too "ahead of their time" (a year or two later a ton more Chipotle-infused spreads came into the market, but they eventually also died out).
But POM has such an awesome marketing muscle, has been such a remarkable leader in the food industry, and consumers seem to be looking for "buzz (energy) plus health," that this could be a big hit. On the other side it could hurt POM’s parent brand – which I associate with all natural fruit, not with coffee.
I am curious how consumers will react

My earlier posting is an example of how the internet provides consumers the unprecedented power to react to bad service without much effort, with a good release. If properly harnessed, this information should modulate abusive corporate behavior and strengthen consumers.
