Marzetti Otria Brand Name Sounds As Good As It Tastes

MINNEAPOLIS — Every bite of Marzetti’s® new Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip contains Omega 3, a fact that is highlighted by the Otria™ brand name created by Strategic Name Development, a brand name consultancy based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In addition to nodding to the Omega 3 ingredient, the name, Otria, also conveys the dip’s “Greekness” in an approachable way that is easy to pronounce.

“Marzetti® Otria™ Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip offers a well-balanced, yet innovatively zesty, take on Greek yogurt,” said Mary Beth Cowardin, senior marketing manager for Marzetti Dips. “We were excited to partner with Strategic Name Development to create a name that enhances the product’s positioning.”

With only 60 calories per serving, Marzetti Otria Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip mixes an array of herbs and spices with the light a creamy texture of Greek yogurt to provide an everyday snacking option that is flavorfully wholesome.

“We wanted to develop a product name that was almost as appetizing to say as it was to eat,” said William Lozito, president of Strategic Name Development. “Otria, although short, says a lot in a very fun and memorable way, and just sounds delicious.”

Available for a suggested retail price of $3.49, Otria Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip can spice up any garden variety veggie snack or add a little zest to an otherwise conventional sandwich. For more recipe ideas and additional product information visit http://www.marzetti.com/Otria.
