Lila as a real cow ‘painted’ lilac – was created in 1973 by Peter Schmidt, a designer at the Young & Rubicam advertising agency. The Milka cow became a star of TV and films, and to date has been one of the advertising world’s most successful characters. The impact of the Milka cow advertising campaign was strongly revealed a few years ago in an art competition in Southern Germany, when 40,000 children were asked to draw a picture of a cow and almost one-third of them painted it lilac!

The decision to use lilac and white in the coloring for the brand was an important one by the business, as it has remained a consistent part of the Milka brand for decades. The Milka organization continued to grow as time passed, introducing themed chocolates based on certain celebrations like Christmas and Easter. By the 1920s Milka had introduced limited edition themed chocolates. Themes were related around holidays such as Christmas and Easter and had chocolate cast into the shape of Santa Claus, Christmas ornaments, Easter bunnies and various sizes of Easter eggs. Mika (German: Milka) , founded by the famous Swiss chocolate merchant Philippe Suchard, is a German chocolate brand that is now owned by Kraft Foods. It sells a variety of chocolates, mainly milk chocolate.

Milka decided to challenge Ritter Sports’ monopoly, and instead of the common rectangular shape, it went for square-shaped bars. This is the story of how a decade-long battle started between these two chocolate companies, fighting over the shape. Co-Branding Strategy of MilkaHave you ever wondered who gave us the opportunity to enjoy delicious milk chocolate, Milka? In fact, we should be thankful for the invention of Milk powder, in the late 1800s the chocolate legend Henri Nestlé had developed a powdered milk product, inspired by this commercial product, his friend Daniel Peter invented milk chocolate. The Inventor of Milka Are you familiar with Milka logo history? In various regions worldwide, the iconic Milka purple cow has captured the hearts and minds of endless confectionary lovers. While the company first launched more than 100 years ago, it remains to thrive as a successful entity to this day. As mentioned above, the success and popularity of Milka are based on its ingredients. The brand often highlights the fact that they only use milk from cows that are fed on Alpine grass. On November 17, 1825, Swiss chocolatier Philippe Suchard (1797–1884) established a pâtisserie in Neuchâtel where he sold a hand-made dessert, chocolat fin de sa fabrique. [10] The following year, Suchard founded Chocolat Suchard and moved production to nearby Serrières, where he produced 25–30kg of chocolate daily in a rented former water mill. During the 1890s, milk was added to Suchard's chocolate, [11] closely following the launch of the Gala Peter brand, founded by Daniel Peter, another Swiss chocolatier.

Now let’s talk about the importance and the meaning of the purple color for the brand. It is more like a symbol for Milka products. In the year 1901, when Milka was first produced, the chocolate label was lilac in color, and there was a drawing of an Alpine shepherd accompanied by a grazing cow. The principle has stayed the same even today, and it’s very noticeable in every attribute of the chocolate. The campaign first started in France in 2013, and guess what? As a result, more than a million last squares were sent. It was a huge marketing success for Milka, bringing Mondelēz International over 1.3 million euros. Milka Vending Machine Campaign In the 1960s, the milk company went with its marketing theme, tenderness. As part of the brand’s commitment to sustainability and health, it takes these issues very seriously. It will introduce a subscription-based model for some of its products in 2019. Jean-Pierre Jeunet directed a 90-second commercial for Milka that aired during the Christmas season.
