## Resource

It isn't just an energy drink—it's a brand that has turned speed, risk, and adrenaline into a global business empire. From cliff diving and Formula One to mountain biking and media production, Red Bull has built one of the most recognizable identities in modern marketing without relying on traditional advertising. In this episode, we explore the remarkable strategy behind Red Bull's rise, tracing how a single beverage became the centerpiece of a lifestyle built around extreme sports, premium branding, and unforgettable experiences. We examine the business decisions that helped the company dominate a fiercely competitive market, while also confronting the challenges of increasing health scrutiny, regulatory investigations, and a new generation of health-focused competitors. The story reveals how one company transformed a simple product into a cultural phenomenon—and how maintaining that edge has become its greatest challenge in a changing world. https://www.economist.com/business/2026/07/13/how-high-can-red-bull-fly
