We see so many producers who have a wonderful product but find branding and packaging a challenge.
This event will focus on the elements you need to consider to convey the quality of what you do and share your message with your potential customer.
The team from Greenhouse Creative, one of Ireland’s largest food branding agencies will share their experiences in developing some of Ireland’s most successful food brands, and the challenges that come with designing for a competitive retail environment. From the start-ups to multinationals, Greenhouse has been at the heart of the Irish food industry for over 10 years. Find out more at www.greenhouse.ie
We will also be looking at creating a successful brand, discussing the elements producers will see on shelf but also carrying this through your online presence and in person.
Panels on the day will include industry and producers who will share their own experiences.
