Lewis Road Creamery may be famous in New Zealand for its luscious dairy range but when it came to launching in the USA and Australia it was a case of “Lewis who?” So the brand turned to what Americans and Aussies already know stands for quality and trust: the FernMark. The much-loved Kiwi dairy brand decided to promote its New Zealand origins and proudly attached a FernMark to its packaging. The strategy is working. Lewis Road Creamery Grass- Fed butter is now sold nationwide in both countries gracing the shelves from Newcastle to New York. Clearly these consumers know a good thing when they see it. WHY LEWIS ROAD FLIES THE FERNMARK Trust As a government-backed Country of Origin mark, the FernMark provides assurance that New Zealand products are authentic and trustworthy. “Consumers in the US didn’t have a clear understanding about New Zealand as a food producer,” says Nicola. “But they do recognise us as a country that is wild, clean, green and untouched. In consumer tastings, as soon as we pointed to the silver fern, consumers recognised the symbol of New Zealand. To them New Zealand, and the silver fern, represents quality, purity and trust.” Competitive edge “In Australia, New Zealand is perceived as a high quality local supplier, giving us an advantage over European or American brands. Leveraging the FernMark is critical”, says Nicola. Good company Lewis Road is one of hundreds of brands to carry the FernMark. “Not many countries have a mark they can be proud of. As a nation “Consumers know New Zealand and they recognise we’re quite young in developing our consumer food the silver fern, so the FernMark was non-negotiable. brands on the world stage; the more exporters we We’re made in New Zealand and will have using the FernMark, the greater the recognition always be extremely proud of it.” for trust, quality and a secure and trusted supply- Nicola O’Rourke, chain,” says Nicola. General Manager, Purity “In the US there is growing awareness of Lewis Road Creamery the value in ‘good fats’ and consumers are looking for a trusted, GMO-free source and are prepared to pay a premium for it. As we are rolling out nationally TO DISCOVER HOW THE FERNMARK CAN in Wholefoods in the US, it’s critical that we’re STRENGTHEN YOUR EXPORT POTENTIAL VISIT: communicating we’re made in New Zealand and proud of it.” FERNMARK.GOVT.NZ/APRIL Agenda Places to be ARTS &
