Frank & the potential of the pencil

In this fast changing digital world, we forget about one of the greatest technological marvels invented - the humble pencil. Such a simple tool that helps us to learn, dream, design, remember. So how exciting this month to be collaborating with a New Zealand based online stationery company Frank that not only has beautiful and simply crafted products, but is ethically conscious.

Run by the couple, Jess and Jason Holdaway, the Frank brand is ‘Frank Socially Conscious Stationery’. Jason and Jess believe that everyone deserves an education and want to do their bit to ‘disrupt the poverty cycle’.  With every purchase, they give back to those struggling with poverty and so for every piece of stationery you buy, Frank will give away the equivalent to those in need. 

Read more about their admirable business philosophy in their branding profile and watch this video to see how customers have helped them help others.
