On 2 January 1997 Société des Produits Nestlé SA filed notice of opposition to this application. They say that they are the proprietors of numerous trade marks with the prefix 30 NES including, inter alia, NESTLE, NESCAFE and NESQUIK and that these marks have been used on an extensive basis.

    Popular Music Celebrity Endorsements in Food and Nonalcoholic Beverage Marketing Marie A. Bragg, PhD,a, b Alysa N. Miller, MPH, a, b Juleen Elizee, MPH, a Shatabdi Dighe, MPH,a Brian D. Elbel, PhD, MPHa, b, c BACKGROUND: Food and beverage marketing has been associated with childhood obesity. We abstract quantified the number and type of food or beverage brands promoted by music celebrities, assessed the nutritional quality of the products, and examined Teen Choice Award data to assess the celebrities’ popularity among adolescents. METHODS: This was a descriptive study. A list of music celebrities associated with the 2013 and 2014 Billboard Hot 100 Chart, which ranks songs according to sales and radio impressions, was compiled. Data on celebrity endorsements were gathered from official company Web sites, YouTube commercials, an advertising database, and media reports. Nutritional quality of foods was assessed according to the Nutrient Profile Index, whereas nonalcoholic beverages were evaluated based on calories from added sugar. Teen Choice Award nominations were used to measure the celebrities’ popularity among adolescents. RESULTS: Of the 590 endorsements made by the 163 celebrities in the sample, consumer goods (eg, fragrances, makeup) represented the largest endorsement category (26%), followed by food and beverage (18%) and retail (11%). Sixty-five celebrities were collectively associated with 57 different food and beverage brands owned by 38 parent companies. Of these 65 celebrities, 53 (81.5%) had ≥1 Teen Choice Award nomination. Forty-nine (71%) of the 69 nonalcoholic beverage references promoted sugar-sweetened beverages. Twenty-one (80.8%) of the 26 endorsed foods were energy dense and nutrient poor.

  • MKTG 3003 Brand Critique Nespresso
    MKTG 3003 Brand Critique Nespresso Executive Summary This report critically evaluates the management of Nestle’s premium portioned coffee brand, Nespresso, on the basis of consumer based brand equity. To do this a brand overview is provided followed by an analysis of brand equity and marketing program and the provision of recommendations to combat identified threats to brand equity. After examining the basic segmentation variables, the report defines Nespresso’s target market as high income frequent coffee drinkers who seek quality and convenience. Further evaluation of Nespresso’s marketing program identifies that the most significant elements of the marketing mix relate to the design of the coffee system; the Nespresso Club services; a premium pricing strategy; and celebrity endorsement; and an exclusive distribution strategy. The report identifies the sources of Nespresso’s brand equity as brand awareness and image, which are reinforced through the repetition of previously identified brand elements. Threats to these sources of brand equity include Nescafe’s brand extension into portioned coffee and increased competition. Consequently, the report recommends that the future management of the brand focuses on strengthening the brand’s existing position 1 Table of Contents 1.
