Significance of the O'biozz brand
This young man, of course, had no money, but he didn’t care. He knew nothing about running a business, so nothing could slow him down or stop him in his tracks. In his immediate circle, he didn’t know anyone directly who had set up a business, so he didn’t have any references or referrals.
Only strangers who didn’t know him advised him against it, trying to convey their fear, their unease, their doubts about this unusual “adventure”.
The 1st thing to do when setting up a business is to find a brand, as he already had a few ideas about the product range he wanted to develop.
As the end of the year drew to a close, the young man had a simple idea: to take advantage of the people around the feasting table to help him find the brand for his future company.
On December 31, 2006, after drinking and eating to excess and, above all, after some rigorous brainstorming, at the stroke of 3am, our friend Jean Noel hit the nail on the head with the coolest thing of the moment: the name O’BIOZZ ……
This name clicked like a whiplash and everyone stopped eating, drinking and even breathing, and we knew it was the right name. It was as clear and cool as Niagara Falls.
So here’s a sneak preview of what the name means and how we came up with it.
The O stands for the world of water, and is the common thread running through all our products and our concept. The letter O is also the symbol of oxygen, but it’s also an interjection used to invoke surprise! and yes, that’s the remark our customers make when they test our products – the surprise effect is guaranteed. The earth and our bodies are 70% water, and the wood we use before drying contains more water than cellulose.
The apostrophe, this feminine symbol, represents interpellation, i.e. it marks a pause and gives food for thought. It’s a very strong slanting sign in poetry and in the French language, a high comma that also allows us to see far, to gain height.
The particle BIO, in Greek bios means life. It is used to designate disciplines that focus on a phenomenon in its relation to the living world. It can also mean respect for nature and the environment.
The ZZ, composed of the Z which is the 26th and last letter of our alphabet, but the composition of the double ZZ comes above all from the name of the Italian Jacuzzi family who invented balneotherapy in the 1960s in the USA. The double ZZ was also deliberate, as it’s the sound characters make when they’re asleep in cartoons and comics.
This ZZ is also an incredible plant grown by Africans to combat drought, called Zamioculcas Zamiifolia.
Put it all together in the jar and you’ve got the name of our O’biozz brand.
