This Activia rebranding has been announced by Danone in the UK as part of the brand's initiative to keep the product relevant with today's consumer and also draw in those who are new to the brand. The yogurt now features a new recipe that prioritizes three benefits including digestive wellbeing support, daily nutrients and energy support assistance. The new recipes will be observed across the brand's core ranges, which will also be communicated to shoppers in the form of a new premium branding and on-pack information.
Head of Marketing at Danone Rachel Wright spoke on the Activia rebranding saying, "At Danone, we know that in today’s market consumers are looking for healthier options but are not willing to compromise on taste, which is why Activia’s rebrand will pull focus to the importance of the gut when it comes to overall wellbeing. The goal is to make it easier for consumers to understand the benefits of supporting gut health, and as the category leader, we will be utilising 37 years of science, research and development and product innovation to show that it is possible to support your health and wellbeing if you look after your gut health everyday."
