MEET THE FOUNDER
I am Colleen MacLaughlin, President and Founder of MacLaughlin Creative Communications. Early in my career as a Graphic Designer, I learned that the guidelines and regulations for food packaging sold in Canada were (are) far more complex than the design world really understood and I saw an opportunity to offer this expertise to my clients. I took, and continue to take, courses in Marketing Law, Food Nutrition, and Government Guidelines so I could (can) advise my clients on the correct ways to label and display their food products for the Canadian market.
My background in Design and Art Direction added to my (then) newfound knowledge of Canadian regulations combined to give MacLaughlin Creative Communications both a creative and technical edge as the two worlds of food and art rarely converse. Now, for more than twenty years, the result has been clear, concise, bilingual packaging created for many long-standing food manufacturers and brokers. Our firm can do the same for you. I’d be happy to give you a quotation on Canadian-izing your existing labels or packages. It’s what we love to do, and what we do best, at McLaughlin Creative Communications, aka infopak.
Sincerely,
Colleen
President, McLaughlin Creative Communications
