Nestle puts £1m behind relaunch of Coffee-mate

Nestle is spending £1m on a revamp of its Coffee-mate powdered milk substitute, in an effort to change perceptions of the category from "coffee whiteners" to "coffee enhancers".

The proposition behind the relaunch is 'Coffee-mate does it for coffee - so deliciously creamy tasting it's almost improper'. It will involve modern repackaging by Futurebrand and campaign activity by Billington Cartmel comprising six-sheet posters, trade magazines, promotional fixtures in store and trolley ads.

A Nestle spokeswoman said that as well as aiming to stimulate retrial of the brand, the relaunch is the first stage in a campaign to change consumer recognition of the category.

The company is working with retailers to develop point-of-sale facilities to encourage coffee drinkers to sample the whitener. Coffee-mate's last advertising was a TV campaign through Publicis at the end of 1999.
