Sumario:The soft drink industry is in a stage of maturity, where companies have a market position that continues over time. This is a phase where the risk really begins because demand stagnates or grows more slowly. In addition, an excess of supply and idle capacity is beginning to be observed among some of the companies, together with strong investments and the need to achieve economies of scale. In addition, through this phase it is observed that competitive rivalry begins to grow and the industry tends to concentrate as a mechanism to distribute fixed costs much better. The main purpose of this thesis work is to determine if companies in the soft drink industry that apply marketing strategies obtain competitive advantages over companies that do not apply them or do so partially. The general objective was to know the marketing strategies applied in the soft drink industry in Argentina as a competitive advantage and benefit. The result of the investigation validates that the three main companies surveyed applied marketing strategies, but Manaus obtains competitive advantages over the other two because it has managed to adjust its marketing strategies to the new contexts in Argentina, more specifically in the AMBA. It will be explained how he was able to better interpret the needs of the consumer and his consumption habits, focused on second brands. The Manaus Marketing Plan, based mainly on a competitive price below the leader and advertising in the media, allowed it to be close to the consumer, which enabled it to gain market share and position itself as the alternative to the leader. Therefore, the competitive advantage is having adjusted its marketing strategy against other companies that have continued with their historical strategy. The leader of this market, Coca Cola, used its franking strategy with its second brand Crush to defend against a targeted attack on a weakness, as the leader can create a second brand to compete directly in the segment offered by the challenger. With Crush, they sought to compete with a similar price to the second brands, mainly Manaus, to counteract their attack. In turn, the leader also uses a defensive strategy through the confrontation strategy; the first brand, can match or beat a competitor's features by making product improvements, increasing promotions, or lowering prices only after the challenger's success has been realized.
