Don Bites: Building a Candy Cartel Brand with AI, Attitude & Automation

From bold concept to full-scale operation — how CALEDIGITAL built a fictional underworld of flavour, powered by MidJourney, Figma, and Odoo.

🧠 The Challenge

Don Bites wasn’t a rebrand — it was a brand born from thin air.

No logo.

No website.

No product names.

Just one sentence from the client:

“Make me a brand that dominates the edibles and smart consumables game — something loud, addictive, and smart enough to scale across Europe.”

💡 The Concept

We created Don Bites — a fictional empire fronted by charismatic, cheeky mob-style mascots like:

  • Don Kush – Master of THC
  • Don Shrooms – King of functional mushrooms
  • Don Lab – The chemist behind nootropics and smart semi-synthetics 

Each “Don” leads their own product category, turning the brand into a narrative universe that customers actually want to follow.

🎨 Visual Identity

The visual tone had to be unmistakable:

High energy. Slightly rebellious. Street-smart. Shelf-ready.

Using MidJourney and Figma, we developed:

  • Mascot-led character design with expressive personalities
  • Colour-coded packaging lines for clear retail navigation
  • Eye-catching illustrations, motion graphics and sticker-style icons
  • Assets for web, social, merch, and promotional material


🌐 The Website: Built on Odoo, Designed to Scale

Don Bites is powered by Odoo — not just for looks, but for performance and automation.

We developed a fully integrated digital infrastructure, including:

  • 💼 CRM automation for lead management, B2B onboarding & quote generation
  • 🧪 Manufacturing module for recipe control, production batches & inventory
  • 🧾 Compliance handling with document uploads, COA certificates & QR scan links
  • 🌍 B2B/B2C portals that adapt dynamically for each user
  • 💬 AI-generated flavour profiles and SEO copy throughout product pages

Everything is linked. Everything is tracked. Everything is ready to grow.

🎯 Market Strategy & Launch

The brand wasn’t launched — it was leaked.

We created a rollout plan driven by hype and scarcity:

  • Exclusive drops, announced by the Don characters
  • B2B access by invite-only through digital “codecards”
  • Email automation flows that mimic cartel messages
  • Gamified loyalty system through merch & limited flavours
  • Story-driven influencer campaigns using custom character reels

💥 The Impact

Since launch:

  • Don Bites secured distributors in 5 countries
  • The brand is now a cult topic in functional wellness and alternative stores
  • Social content built around the characters gets top engagement rates
  • New sub-brands are already in development under each Don’s name
