Estonia as a brand

2007-03-27T04:58:00.000-07:00

Talking about brands, Estonia itself is a brand.

‘The world does not understand Estonians and Estonians do not understand the world. The world can easily live with this. But can Estonians? That is the question.’

In fact, we know the answer and the answer is NO.

That’s why Estonia started a special project to work out its brand to promote the Republic of Estonia abroad. Its objectives were to enable Estonia to achieve greater success in attracting foreign-direct investment, to expand our tourist base beyond Sweden and Finland, and to broaden European markets for our exports.

This would be achieved through the deployment of targeted; strategic messages communicated using visual and verbal components – in effect, branding the country.
The Brand Estonia project serves to introduce and promote this small nation, its people and their pursuits on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea.

Who exactly is the target? Primarily tourists and business people – those who might show some interest in us.

The slogan of the brand is “Welcome to Estonia!” and whenever you see the logo you will always see this slogan. The brand is universal and easily understood
by foreigners.

The logo is using cool Nordic colour schemes.

And again as Estonia is also known for its beer and vodka ….

hello

Hello!

It was very interesting to see your brand- Ricard.

Whether we like it or not some of our well know brands are also alcohol.

In our country the most famous brands are alcohols: Saku, Viru Valge, A le Coq etc. The most famous brand is Vana Tallinn. Many tourist take this like a suvenir with them.

2007-02-16T06:00:00.000-08:00

Ricard is an aniseed typical french drink with alcohol
You can drink ricard with some water if you want to drink it plain. But if you want it to be tastier add some:
- mint syrup in it ( it’s called “parrot”)
- grenadine syrup ( it’s called “tomatoe” )
- coke ( it’s called “ petrol” )

Like we say in france: Tu prends l’apéro ?

Estonian Brainstorm

2006-12-21T00:37:00.000-08:00

We are brainstorming ideas about how/what exactly to share our ideas and knowledge abot brans and branding. We had a brainstorm with our class and there came out some questions about what we would like to know. Do you know anything about Estonia? Like have you heard or seen our logo "Welcome to Estonia"? Do you have something similar to that? In Estonia we mainly prefer overseas brands. Do French people prefer local or foreign brands? We would also like to know how brand awere you are and how big role do brands play in your everyday life? We could also talk about Estonian and French brands. (e.g. in Estonia are very well-known Tallink, Estonian air, Kalev, Estonian piano, Saku, Monton etc) These are our ideas for our co-operations. What are your thoughts? Looking forward to your answer.

Description
This is a student-initiated project (duration max two years)and the main aim of it is to establish long-term community-based cooperation network. In the course of the project students (Ss) research, introduce and compare the role of brands in the everyday life of young people both of France and Estonia. Most popular national brands will be introduced in detail (image, niche, awareness, etc). The project partners also enquire about the awareness of Estonians about French brands and vice versa.
http://ofbrands.blogspot.com/

Use of ICT within the project
eTwinning portal Twin Space, Blogger, e-magazine, website, videoconference, e-learning environment, digital camera, web camera are used both for cooperation and communication. The project web page will be one of the outcomes of the project.

Results and benefits
Bringing together young people of two different EU countries is the most important virtue of this project. Communication inside and outside the project will add extra value to the undertaking. As the project partners are Ss of the same speciality it gives extra value to the project. The study field is the same and it gives opportunities for mutual sharing of information and experience

Curricular integration
Integration is based on several subjects like culture, foreign languages, speciality and IT. Current information from direct sources enlivens the classroom environment and encourages Ss interactiveness. In addition it gives Ss the chance to learn to do business using modern IT instruments.

European Dimension
Both Estonia and France are EU countries and through the project Ss enrich their knowledge about these countries and their business culture using the direct source.

Innovation and creativity
Group learning activities and widening the knowledge of the business administration speciality is one of the main novelties. At several stages of the project creativity is a critical element, e.g. choosing and introducing the ten most popular brands of the country

Sustainability
Throughout the entire school year 2006/2007 special days for the Ss and teachers of Pärnumaa Kutsehariduskeskus to introduce EU countries take place. One of those events concentrates on our partnership country - France. The follow up activity will focus on active EU citizenship.

Overall quality
The qualities of the project: * encouraging Ss' motivation, initiative and creativity * learning about a different (business) culture *widening the knowledge of the business administration speciality * practising English language skills · widening the knowledge and practical IT skills
