— Speaking about branding, it is much easier to create new brands from scratch than to adapt existing brand strategies. To satisfy the needs of consumers, the dairy industry is slowly changing itself. Even the well-established big brands have to reshape in order to meet changing consumer needs and market conditions.

The consumer today is becoming more health-conscious. The producers are now offering a range of products that are in line with consumer expectations. All-natural is one of the biggest trends that could be cross-applied to many product categories. No nasties signs, simple and natural design are the attribute of the brands with all-natural positioning.

The conflict between the consumerist impulses and the desire to be good and smart gave a start to the new kind of consumption — “guilt-free consumption”. We want to be free from worries about wrong consumption and feel indulgent.

My expectations of being a part of a jury

As an expert in the field of branding and design I am looking forward to seeing how dairy brands react to the new market conditions. The selective consumption requires the selective marketing tools in order to reach the consumer. The creative solutions matters only if they impact the market and contribute to the brand awareness.
