RADD Foods was named the winner of Bullish's inaugural $24K for 2024, connecting the ambitious early-stage consumer company to design services from the brand consultancy and early-stage consumer investment firm. Now, the dairy-free cheese brand sports a retro aesthetic to reenergize its boldly flavored products like Frank's RedHot and Tangy Ranch.
"To revitalize the sleepy dairy-free category, we drew inspiration from the energetic visual era of the late 80s and early 90s," explained Bullish Creative Director Jake Tieman, "Just as RADD's dairy-free cheese offers bold, unexpected flavor, our visual system aims to evoke that same sense of surprise and excitement."
RADD Foods' refreshed identity better connects with adventurous eaters in search of novel flavors, all while offering the comfort and familiarity of decades gone by.
