Based on the brand life cycle theory and consumer behavior theory, this paper proposes a marketing youthification upgrade path centered on health visualization, narrative scenario, price gradient, and content co-creation, and points out that brand youthification is not a one-time image refresh, but a dynamic process of continuously calibrating the resonance frequency between brand value and the self-concept of the youth group. The research conclusion provides operable strategic references for the development of tea beverage brands in stock competition.
