Sweets & Snacks Expo

Inspiration and Action

How we united the sweets and snacks industries with a holistic approach and strategic shift.

The Sweets & Snacks Expo, formerly known as The Candy Show, struggled with a fragmented marketing strategy that got in the way of an impactful, lasting value proposition. With increased competition from emerging shows, the Expo needed a change to secure its relevance.

The Sweets & Snacks Expo is the place where inspiration can transform into immediate action.

Crafting a brand position that embraced this distinctive identity, we developed a visual language and supporting elements that highlighted both sweets and snacks. These pieces became the foundation for a brand that now has lasting power and ongoing relevance.

The new logo featured a unique graphic element for a touch of modern fun.
