Increase Amazon ad spend by 20% on 'Soda, 12 fl oz cans, 12 pack' to capitalize on its BSR #53 in Grocery & Gourmet Food and 15,544 purchases last month. This will capture existing high-intent buyers and reinforce Dr Pepper's dominance in the online grocery channel.

Deploy community managers to engage relevant subreddits (e.g., r/soda, r/nostalgia, r/marketing) by sharing behind-the-scenes content or polls related to the vintage ad, aiming for authentic conversations. This will establish a foothold in the lowest-scoring platform, Reddit (30/100), before competitors recognize the value.
