Our research-in-progress, a threephase systematic research plan of action, will reveal whether Monster Energy drink should convey action sports (head-to-head attack) or academic performance (flanking strategy) in advertising targeting college students to challenge Red Bull, the market leader. Phase I, Content Analysis of Red Bull Advertising, revealed emphasis on action sports. However, Phase II (i.e., secondary, qualitative, and survey research) revealed college students use energy drinks to increase academic performance. Phase III, Experimental Research, estimates the relative persuasive effectiveness of action sports versus academic themes in Monster advertisements. Ho: no different in persuasive effectiveness among action sports, academic performance, and neutral theme (control) on dependent variables (likeability, relevance, intention to buy). Ethical standards were met by using valid scales borrowed from scholarly marketing journals, consent form, and APA standards.
