Soko Stark Brands in the Digital World
Agenda • Soko Stark – Krem Banana case • Internet in Serbia
Soko Stark • Soko Stark is a one of the largest confectionary industries in the region, and a home market leader for the past 85 years • The factory of brands which had, by merging tradition, carefully defined recipes and contemporary scientific achievements, achieved the dream of every company in the world – to create the “love marks” products you simply love – regardless of all • Tradition and quality are Soko Stark’s main assets • Since 2005, Soko Stark is a part of a larger family – Droga Kolinska Group
Situation / Krem Banana • But… „love marks“ sometimes are not brands: • No name • Elderly Target Group • Old fashioned packaging / not able to be changed • Need for modern and interactive communication • No differentiation from many similar products • … and the Soko Stark marketing team is facing, once again, a difficult task
Communication – Contest for a name • Absolute must: involving younger segments • Kick off event – Musical for the 50th anniversary of Krem Banana / announcement of the contest • PR and advertorials • Traditional media as a support (TV, outdoor, Print) • Main Medium: Internet
Internet advertising • Call to vote on: www.stark.co.yu
Development of the situation • Polarization of the consumers: • People enjoying the contest • Fighters to keep the name of the product Bananica (actually Krem Banana) – viral • A strong discussion about the idea of changing a name started....
Results • 50.000 proposals for a new name (80% via internet) • Reinforcement of the brand among younger segments • Differentiation from alike products and reinforcement of the brand • Significant increase of sales
