Nestlé was founded in 1866 by two distinct Swiss businesses that would later
form the core of the company. The brothers from the United States Charles A. Page
and George Page established the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company in Cham,
Switzerland, in August of that year. Henri Nestlé launched a milk-based baby food in
nearby Vevey in September and quickly began marketing it. Both businesses
aggressively expanded their operations throughout Europe and the United States over
the following decades.
Industry Growth
Nestle concentrated its efforts and resources in areas where harnessing the
power of food can have the greatest positive effects on people and animals' lives, the
natural world, our shareholders, and other stakeholders. To them, business is better

such as Nescafe, Nesquik, Nestea, Taster’s Choice.

criteria for transactions: Enhancing key metrics, strong market positions, brands,
capabilities, ease of integration (culture). Global scope but focus on bolt-ons: both
emerging and developed markets. M&A drives profitable growth through competitive
advantages, growth drivers, and operational pillars.
Given that Nestle is one of the largest food and beverage processing companies
in the world, it competes with other highly established multinational corporations,
particularly those that also possess a diverse portfolio of products (Nestle, n.d.). In the
Philippines, the group identified Nestle’s most significant competitors (in terms of
relative scale and product offerings) as the following:
Mondelez International
Having established operations in the country all the way back in 1963,
Mondelez International has brought us iconic products like Oreo, Cheez Whiz,
Toblerone, and Tang (Mondelez, n.d.). Mondelez International has a wide range of
products that cater to many different customer segments, focusing particularly on
snack offerings.
1. Brand Awareness
2. Brand Loyalty
3. Perceived Quality
Mondelez’ main brand assets are their name and logo. The Mondelez name is a
combination of the Latin words for “world” and delicious” (Stevens, 2012). According
to the company’s brand book, their logo consists of a logotype (Mondelez name) and
“flavor burst”—the little water droplet shapes at each end of the logo (Mondelez,
2012).
Also in the brand book, the company has several icons designated for each of
their product categories.
1. Brand Awareness
PepsiCo is one of the largest food, snack and beverage corporations in the
world. With over 500 brands and $79 billion in net revenue last 2021, the company is
best known for its convenient drinks and food products (PepsiCo, n.d.). Some of their
most prominent brands include Pepsi, Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Doritos, Lays, and
Quaker. They follow a similar House of Brands approach to Mondelez. Their page
currently has 382,000 likes on Facebook, and 113,000 followers on Instagram.
2. Brand Loyalty
3. Perceived Quality
PepsiCo offers a wide variety of consumer goods that, as the company says, aim
to “create more smiles with every sip and every bite”. The company offers an
exceptional range of choices to suit every need. Compared to its competitors, PepsiCo
ranks fairly high amongst brands preferred by millennials (Comparably, n.d.).
4. Brand Associations
PepsiCo’s main products are drinks (carbonated and non carbonated) and
snacks. Unsurprisingly, the company is most known for creating Pepsi (hence the
name), though Frito-Lay comes in at a close second thanks to its prevalence in the
snack industry. PepsiCo is associated with general consumer foods, with their products
commonly found in supermarkets and convenience stores worldwide.
5. Other Proprietary Brand Assets – Patents, Trademarks, Channel Relationships,
etc.
Due to the large diversity of the company’s product lineup, PepsiCo’s branding
mostly revolves around their name and logo. PepsiCo had a total of 6086 active
patents as of 2022, most of which were filed in the USA. Some companies (including
Nestle) even cite these patents for their own research and development (GREYB,
2022).
Nutri Asia
1. Brand Awareness
Since the company highly utilizes on seasoning and condiments, the use of these
items would be present in everyday foods. These would encourage customers to stick
with the brands such as DatuPuti and SilverSwan in their preferred use of said
condiments as these items are established in their recipes.
3. Perceived Quality
NutriAsia boasts itself as being one of the top chosen food brands among
Filipino consumers. Its product quality deems to be at par with the needs and wants of
Filipino consumers winning several awards over the years. (Metropoler, 2021)
(Person,2021)
4. Brand Associations
The company is known for food products and condiments. Its known to have
brands that are in the industry for quite some time. These brands are Datu Puti,
SilverSwan, MangTomas, UFC, PAPA, Golden Fiesta, Locally, AlcoPro, Jufran, Mafran.
The company currently has 33 trademarks with the Datu Puti and SilverSwan
logos being the most popular.(CrunchBase,n.d.)
Nestle is a brand that uses food to enhance the quality of life of whoever
indulges in their products. They believe that good food has its own set of benefits, from
nourishment to delightment of senses. Creating good food is their main focus and
Nestle says that this is what brings families together. They also mention that they
respect the planet and protect resources for the future of our generation. Nestle also
regularly hosts events for families to come together; one of the most prominent and
longest-running examples is Milo Best. Here, they have kids and teenagers play
different sports like volleyball and basketball, with the parents being able watch their
kids play against the other participants. Milo also has sports clinics where they coach
kids on how to play certain sports.
Nestle offers a wide variety of products ranging from milk, cereal, iced tea,
protein bars and many more. They have products for families—everyone from kids,
adults and even elders are covered. Nido and Chuckie cater to the kids, while Nescafe
targets Filipinos who wake up early in order to work and provide for their families, that
is why Nescafe’s tagline is “It all starts with a Nescafe.”. They even have energy bars
called FITNESS chocolate bars for people who love to workout. Nestle is a diverse
brand hence why it is so loved by the masses. An excellent example of how the
company’s product lines relate to general Filipino living is Chuckie. Young children will
always look for someone they can count on like a buddy. So, Chuckie made a mascot
with the tagline “My chocolate-y buddy”. For children, this means a lot because they
can always count on Chuckie to make them happy.
Analysis of the brand in terms of the 5 bases of brand equity vis-a-vis its strongest
competitor
Nestle Mondelez
Nestle is a big name here in the Philippines, boasting many different in-house
brands such as those mentioned above. One way that the company establishes brand
awareness is through the events that it holds every year. Nestle hosts events such as
Milo Liga wherein kids get to play the sports they love with other kids that share the
same passion. Nestle also has a fun run called “National Milo Fun Run” wherein people
from across the country get together to run alongside their family. The company also
has billboards scattered all around the Philippines and regularly airs video
advertisements (TV and digital) which showcase its different brands. These
advertisements exhibit the nutrition behind the products of Nestle such as Nestea,
Milo, and Nescafe. As for Brand Loyalty, survey data showed that many people choose
Nestle in the Philippines as it is well-known, highly established, and competitive in
terms of value. Nescafe, for example, is highly popular amongst the masses due to its
relatively low price. On the other hand, students remain very loyal to Milo, as seen by
how it won the award of “Student beverage brand of the year (Nestle, 2018)”.
On the company’s website, Nestle boasts about its internal food safety as well
as no waste attitude (Nestle Quality and Safety, nd.) The company states that by
guaranteeing food safety and compliance with quality standards, they are able to
create added value for consumers.
In the Philippines, Nestle is associated with many brand names, such as Nescafe,
Milo, Nido, Bear Brand, Kit Kat, Nestea, Chuckie, and many more. Chuckie is highly
popular amongst children, and is an established brand that many parents can trust. On
the other hand, Nescafe offers a decent at-home instant coffee experience. Since the
sachets are so cheap and accessible, people can buy Nescafe at nearby sari sari stores
for personal consumption anytime, anywhere. To cater to other segments, they also
offer varieties such as capsules, beans, sachets and many more.
Amongst the most prominent of Nestle’s proprietary brand assets is their logo.
It is composed of three birds in a nest, implying some sense of family and household
care. Visually, the company is also known for regularly using a blue background for its
logo presentation.
As listed in Nestle’s website, the company’s motto is “Good food, Good life.” The
primary focus of Nestle is to unlock the power of food and enhance quality of life for
everyone. In other words, the goal of their brand is to promote good and healthy food
for the whole family. They make their products healthier by adding ingredients such as
vegetables, fruits, nuts, and many more. Nestle products also have nutrient-dense
products through increasing positive nutrients and ingredients.
Given all these, Nestle as a whole plays a huge role in the lives of Filipino
families nationwide. A total of 25 out of 31 respondents answered Nestle when asking
when shopping for goods, what brand comes to their mind. This alone goes to show
that Filipinos love Nestle. A lot of the answers in the survey also talked about how
Nestle is a big brand as well as something they grew up with or is the most trusted.
Closing Rationale
All these come together in rationalizing how Nestle can establish itself as a
brand that makes health more equitable for the general public. The brand would pair
well with an organization like the Family Planning Organization of the Philippines (FPOP),
which aims to promote better reproductive planning in the realm of health and family
wellbeing. Nestle’s associations with family would also prove beneficial in this regard.
Overall, given its brand equity, core values, and relative capacity, Nestle is in an
excellent position to promote equitable health for Filipinos.
