Public TikTok numbers for @candybites.nl, Feb – Dec 2023, read October 2026.

The approach

No studio, no script on a teleprompter — just a microphone, a candy display and the street. Quiz questions on Dam Square, interviews in Osdorp, a spin-the-wheel stand in Rotterdam: every answer wins something, and every win is a reason to watch till the end.

Between the street formats sat short sketches in the shop and big giveaways around the shop's second anniversary, handing out candy across the city centre. Shot, edited and captioned in-house in the brand's pink and aqua, so a Candy Bites video is recognisable in the first second.
