Prompt used:
“Can you create a detailed SWOT analysis for Coca-Cola that connects to the \u2018World Stop\u2019 campaign, focusing on brand strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, especially in relation to Gen Z and Millennial audiences?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AI tool used: ChatGPT, GPT-5 (February 2025 version), OpenAI
Date of research: November 3, 2025

Description of use:
ChatGPT was used to supplement and organize the SWOT analysis that I had already developed through independent research. I provided the model with my own notes and ideas, and it was used only to expand on existing points and ensure alignment between Coca-Cola\u2019s brand context and the \u201cWorld Stop\u201d campaign concept. All content, interpretations, and final insights in the SWOT analysis were my own and verified against official company reports, sustainability publications, and academic sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prompt used:
“Rewrite Coca-Cola\u2019s strategic recommendations so that each includes a strategic initiative insight, rationale connected to SWOT elements, and measurable KPIs while maintaining a professional AP-style tone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description of use:
ChatGPT was used to help tailor and refine the strategic recommendations I had already written, ensuring that each initiative directly connected to the SWOT analysis. The model provided assistance with phrasing and structure so that the insights, rationale, and success metrics aligned more cohesively. All strategic content and ideas were created independently by me; the AI\u2019s role was limited to editorial enhancement and organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
