Kinder Tronky Chinese Brand Name Creation

For a foreign brand to succeed in the Chinese market, an ideal Chinese brand name creation is key. Labbrand creates the brand name 健达轻脆怡 [jiàn dá qīng cuì yí] for Kinder Tronky – a high-quality snack from Kinder, which is one of the key brands under Italian multinational confectionery company Ferrero. As part of its brand localization strategy, this vivid and memorable name truly reflects Kinder Tronky’s selling point and has successfully helped the brand communicate to consumers while making its debut in the Chinese market.

Solution

Challenge

Tronky is a wafer with a long-lasting and delightful cocoa and hazelnut taste, delivering a delicious multi-sensorial taste experience in a light way. It’s crispy outside and fulfilling inside, with the shape like a tree trunk that fits well with the alphabetic brand name “Tronky”. However, Tronky is difficult for Chinese consumers to pronounce and recall. It’s important to create a vivid and understandable name that truly reflects the selling points of the product.

Solution

After a thorough understanding of consumer test result and analysis of the current competitive landscape of the snack industry, we shortlisted some names under different creative directions. Finally, 轻脆怡 [qīng cuì yí] stood out and became the official name for Tronky. It’s highly readable with a delightful tone. 轻脆 [qīng cuì] stands for the light & crispy wafer shell for the product. Meanwhile, by sharing the same sound with 清脆 [qīng cuì] (clear and melodious), it vividly depicts the enjoyable moment of having a crunchy biscuit. 怡[yí] at the end well expresses the emotional benefit of “light sweetness in every bite”.

Result

Result

轻脆怡 [qīng cuì yí] has been applied to a variety of online and offline touchpoints, including the official Chinese website of Kinder, Weibo, RED, and major E-commerce platforms like Tmall and JD.COM. The new Chinese brand name helps to facilitate market communication and business growth. It reflects Kinder Tronky’s selling point and has successfully helped the brand communicate to consumers.

  • Labbrand has been our long-time strategic naming partner. Among 10+ projects during our past collaboration, Kinder Tronky has been a challenging Chinese naming case. We have different consumer groups to cater to, multiple product strengths to emphasize, trademark registration issues, etc.

    Now we are glad to land on this final name solution 健达轻脆怡 [jiàn dá qīng cuì yí], it’s proven to be ideal and successful. We look forward to launching more products in China market soon with the best-in-class service provided by Labbrand along the journey.
