Brand Identity

“When You Think of Happiness, Its Name Comes to Mind Immediately: Eti Eti Eti” Campaign

One of Eti’s most memorable advertising campaigns, “When You Think of Happiness, Its Name Comes to Mind Immediately: Eti Eti Eti,” is a marketing initiative that symbolizes the strong bond the brand has built with its consumers. With its catchy and cheerful slogan, this campaign reached wide audiences and reinforced the perception of Eti as a brand that brings happiness. The advertisements typically featured happy family scenes, children’s joyful moments and an emphasis on sharing. The repetition of the phrase “Eti Eti Eti” helped embed the brand in consumers’ memories and contributed to its transformation into a generic jingle and slogan. The campaign was widely distributed across television, radio and digital platforms, appealing to consumers of all ages. This advertising strategy successfully associated Eti with the theme of “happiness” and strengthened its brand identity. Over the years, the campaign has continued in various versions, securing a significant place in Eti’s marketing history and leaving a lasting impression on consumers’ minds.

Eti Canga Launch

Eti adopted a different marketing language for products targeting younger audiences. In Canga advertisements, a dynamic and entertaining narrative was embraced, with slogans such as “Canga thinks hard about this job” highlighting the energetic character of the product.

Eti Burçak: Nature-Friendly Products Campaign

As part of its sustainability-focused marketing efforts, Eti positioned its Burçak product as natural and environment-friendly. The advertising campaigns promoted messages of healthy eating and environmental awareness.

History of Eti

Eti is a food company founded in 1962 by Firuz Kanatlı in Eskişehir. As one of Türkiye’s first modern biscuit manufacturers, Eti quickly established itself in the market by developing a broad product range. Firuz Kanatlı decided to invest in this sector after observing the limited availability of industrial biscuit production in Türkiye at the time. Eti opened its first production facility in Eskişehir and began biscuit manufacturing there. One of Eti’s earliest products, Eti Biscuit, gained widespread popularity and accelerated the brand’s growth. During the 1970s and 1980s, Eti expanded its production capacity and entered new categories such as chocolate, wafers and cakes. In the 1990s, it introduced products like Eti Burçak under the concept of healthy and natural foods.

Following Firuz Kanatlı’s vision, Eti expanded beyond Türkiye into international markets. By exporting primarily to the Middle East, Europe and Asia, the company took significant steps toward becoming a global brand. Today, Eti continues to be one of the strongest players in the sector with dozens of different product lines. After Firuz Kanatlı’s passing in 2017, the company’s management has been continued by his family. Eti continues to grow both in Türkiye and abroad through its innovative and consumer-focused approach.
