Branding and marketing your food or beverage product is about appealing to your
customers. This session is for you if you have a food/beverage product that needs
the perfect brand to suit the right market.

In this free 60-minute online seminar, learn about:

•Why YOU are your brand as a new food or beverage business
•What to consider when creating a visual identity for your company
•What does marketing your product look like?

Amanda DeVries of Eye Candy Design specializes in branding food and beverage
companies. In this webinar, Amanda will share her expert insight, from how to
create your brand and how to retain and grow your brand to what sort of colours
and typography styles are right for your product. You will learn the difference
between designing for store shelves vs. food markets vs. digital spaces. She will
also cover tips for working with a graphic designer and determining exactly who
your product is for. As Amanda advises, “If your product is for everyone, then you
are selling to no one.” Know your target market.

You will leave with a better understanding of how to brand and market your
product in the food and beverage industry!
