Green Banana Marketing - Smarter, Greener, Fairer marketing

“We shan’t save all we should like to, but we shall save a great deal more than if we had never tried”, Sir Peter Scott, Founder, WWF.

This is the inspiration for all that we do. At Green Banana Marketing our passion is helping charities and ethical organisations. It’s what drives us.

Our name comes from the bananas shipped from Costa Rica to Kent (Fairtrade, of course). Green on departure, they ripen during their voyage, arriving ready for market.

You are our inspiration. The product. And we will take you where you need to go.
We are the boat for your bananas…
