21. The Issue and The Solution
The problem:
Kinder is not a brand associated with healthy benefits in the
consumer’s mind, quite the contrary, actually.
The solution:
The consumers already trust the quality and the unique taste of
Kinder’s products but now, the brand must insist on the
nutritional efforts they are doing with the new biscuit.
22. Perceived Value and USP
Only Kinder Moment can offer you the pleasure of a Kinder with
no consequence.
24. Our Proposition
Our single-minded proposition:
• Kinder Moment, the pleasure of taking care of yourself!
• It’s good inside and it shows outside
25. The Obstacle to Communication
• Consumers don’t associate Kinder with healthy products
• Concern about the taste (gluten-free, low-calories and tasty?)
• The healthy snacks market is already well occupied
• Kinder will need purchasing advisors
27. Communication Objectives
The communication is built around:
Kinder innovates for the better
The
nutritionnal
benefit
For the active
women
A enjoyable
snack
Kinder, a
responsible
and attentive
brand

Sound code:
