Nivea maintains brand consistency in several ways: by repeating some of the same images of models using their products, of repeating similar themes such as smiling people, and also of promoting similar skin care products to different geographic and cultural locations. The color scheme and overall look of the products remains the same in spite of language variations on product labels. However, cultural differences do influence Nivea's marketing strategies.

Product descriptions attempt to verbally differentiate products from one another in the same category. For example, Era is "powerful" and "tough on stains" whereas Ivory is "mild," "gentle," and "pure." Some category unity is maintained such as in the paper products category in which each of the three (Bounty, Charmin, and Puffs) is characterized by a swoosh/curvilinear logo suggesting wiping.
