A packaged food brand is judged first by its pack and its picture. On a shelf the pack has a second or two to be noticed; online the listing image does the same job at thumbnail size. After that, recipes, creators and sampling give people a reason to try it. Food On Focus Media is a Dubai F&B agency that produces product photography, packaging, listings and campaigns for food brands, including work for Godiva and Alpro.
