briefing
Campina has asked Globrands to develop a distinctive brand name that functions as a new category designation between meat, fish and chicken. The name would be accompanied by a Campina endorsement where possible, but should not be dependent on it.
The brand essence: “feel good every day thanks to better food”. The briefing contained the following benefits and thoughts: ‘natural freshness’, ‘nutritional’, ‘foody’ and ‘authorative’.
The name were to be language-neutral and internationally appealing. The trademark needed to be protected in all of the European Union. The main market would be Western Europe. A short, compact name with an open, bright sound was preferred and the .com and .nl domainnames needed to be available.
Paul Houtepen, marketing manager at Campina Valess:
“A new product category requires very specific naming. Globrands has guided us excellently.”
