Partnership with Nestlé to renew and innovate. Nestlé Complete support for all areas. Nestlé do Brasil has relied on FutureBrand´s support since the beginning of the 1990s. This has been a strong, successful partnership that has resulted in projects for a number of Business Units, such as Chocolate-flavored drinks, Cookies, Chocolates, Nescafé, Ice Cream, Nespresso, Health Care Nutrition, Children´s Nutrition and Dairy products. The company has undertaken projects ranging from brand strategy to packaging and environmental design, all marked by constant commitment and high technical quality. Outstanding examples from this longstanding relationship are the wide-ranging internal and external signaling project developed for the Nestlé plants in the towns of Araras, Araçatuba, Feira de Santana and Três Rios, along with a large number of cases involving the positioning and packaging of important brands, such as Nescau, Passatempo, Chokito, Prestígio etc. in the Chocolates and Cookies categories. Nestlé Case Study 2 Nestlé “FutureBrand handled the Alpino brand with great skill and understood its values and icon status. It created a well structured process and put forward proposals that updated and gave new dimensions to the brand, improving the consumer´s perception.” Ricardo Bassani Marketing Manager Chocolates Nestlé Brasil Nestlé saw a great opportunity on the premium chocolate market for Alpino. A new visual identity was created for the brand inspired by gift wrapping. The gold was maintained as well as the old red ribbon and reworked to give the packaging a premium feel. The design alludes to the grooves in the chocolate. In the version of the chocolates for Easter, the three flavors – Milky, Dark and Ao Leite – gain different colors and appear in a packaging that makes an allusion to a work of art. A new format for the bars was then created, which playfully illustrates the melting of eight Alpino chocolates – icons of the brand through their favor and unique format. The purpose was to introduce all the positive attributes of the bars associated with the original chocolate. Nestlé Case Study 3 Nestlé “FutureBrand has always helped us transform and innovate the Nescau brand, without losing of any of its essence and maintain the credibility and trust of consumers. This has resulted in a brand that has been in existence for 80 years remaining a benchmark for young people, reflecting innovation and quality.” Monica Lopes Product Manager NESCAU®, Nestlé Brasil Nescau is Nestlé’s brand of instantaneous chocolate powder which, taking advantage of the celebration of its 75th anniversary, launched “Nescau 2.0” - the brand’s upgrade -, that gathers the qualities which turned the product into a market leader in a new formula and packaging. Addressed to the young audience, the interactive language of internet and games was used for the creation and composition of the packaging. For the tin, a new shape, in expanded format, was developed, inspired by the tornado, an old symbol of Nescau. This resource gave volume and contour to the packaging, in an allusion to the movement and the daring endeavor expressed by the brand. The pictures in the packaging are from actual athletes who are champions in their modalities.
