A Premium Ice Cream Brand to Spark Adventure Across Europe
Brand Strategy
Brand Territory
With the ambition of becoming the world’s leading ice cream company, Froneri partnered with Lonsdale to launch Nuii, a bold, pan-European brand designed to compete directly with the category’s historic leader in indulgent sticks.
Originally inspired by the group’s Australian Connoisseur range, early European testing revealed the need for a distinct positioning tailored to local expectations. The result: Nuii—from the Maori word for “generosity”—an invitation to travel through indulgent ice cream adventures.
Each recipe highlights an authentic ingredient origin: Java vanilla, Australian macadamia nuts, Idaho mint… The identity pairs flowing gold, deep black, and wild animal imagery to evoke natural power, richness, and mystery.
A key visual—the “river of abundance”—flows around the stick, expressing the brand’s core promise of generosity and discovery. The signature: Ice Cream Adventure, targets experience-driven Millennials seeking authenticity.
Designed with the weight of a future category leader, Nuii stands apart from conventional codes, combining storytelling, craftsmanship, and appetite appeal.
The result: #1 ice cream innovation in France by value, 4.4% penetration, 23% repeat rate, and ranked 12th in Kantar’s Top 20 FMCG Innovations.
