Eye Candy is an independent boutique branding and packaging agency for food & beverage companies with a soft spot for ethnic and heritage brands.
We work with food and beverage consumer packaged good (CPGs) who want to be category leaders and need a fuss-free solution.
We are rewriting the ‘exotic’ narrative, creating packaging as a guide for consumers, because ethnic foods should feel at home in any aisle.
We operate in an agriculturally rich region, and live directly beside wonderful producers so we understand what it takes to make great tasting food.
Finally, we are also in the business of saving time, so we focus on direct communication, plenty of collaboration, and quick turnarounds.
Leave everything to us.
