The first part will analyse NIVEA’s brand identity and visual identity. The research questions addressed by this essay are how NIVEA became the market leader, and how it has kept increasing its market share over the years to hold that market position successfully. With a brand awareness of 99% (Appendix 3) in Germany, there can be no doubt that NIVEA is a success story (Gruner and Jahr, 1994 cited in Marketingverein, 1997). Additionally, in Reader's Digest Trusted Brands annual consumer survey (2011) NIVEA has been voted the most trusted brand for the last five years in 15 out of 16 European countries (Appendix 2). In that time the original blue tin packaging of the cream has changed its appearance (Appendix 1), but the actual formulation has changed very little since its first launch.Īccording to Interbrand (2011a) NIVEA is one of the top 100 best global brands with a brand value of $3,734m. NIVEA was invented in 1911 and celebrates its 100th Anniversary this year. The name comes from the Latin adjective “niveus/NIVEA/niveum” meaning snow-white. However, not many people know the actual meaning of the name NIVEA. The brand name NIVEA is familiar to many people from childhood onwards.
