kiwi now: brand development and brand management for SWISS KRONO

No idea how Gen Z becomes a revenue driver for you?

Out of the dreary DIY-store sameness and into a bold universe of revenue! By 2030, Gen Z and Y will hold 70 % of the purchasing power! Many companies have not adjusted to that yet – and those that have are glad they did.

Step 01

Understanding Gen Z and Y – and taking them seriously

An AI-assisted analysis looked at how much Gen Y and Z care about flooring. Naturally the answer was: not at all – who cares about the brand of their floor? But authentic brands with a clear stance and solutions that fit their lives do score. That is what drove us: to create a brand for the end customer – not for the uniformity of the trade.

Generation Z: brands I can learn something from (German wording in the image)

Step 02

Not every floor is the same floor

The analysis revealed a gap in the market: a resilient wood-based floor that takes a lot and puts up with everything. The result: as a Hybrid Resilient Floor, kiwi now carves out a niche of its own and steps out of the usual price war.

  • Innovation strategy
  • Product positioning
  • Category design

Step 03

A stance, not a data sheet

Together with BrandTrust, product features became a clear conviction: sustainability, transparency and more than 80 % wood are not explained in a dull way but turned into an experience. That makes the decision a matter of my own life.

  • Brand positioning
  • Sustainability communication
  • Brand values

The pack
The brand on the phone and as a pattern: never boring kiwi flooring

Step 04

Experience needs honesty

The bright yellow kiwi now pack pops at the point of sale: quiet in the room, loud on the shelf. On social media the brand breaks with the sober imagery of the industry, because our claim “Never boring. kiwi Flooring.” is the guiding line of all brand work.

  • Packaging design
  • Social media communication
