Our Story

It all started with a conversation over a breakfast of coffee and bananas. Right then we realized we had just the name for our agency! We combined our 30 years of branding, content creation, and UX/UI design experience to create Coffee & Bananaz.

We collaborate with our clients to grow their target audience through close collaboration and partnership. We do this by providing the convenience and confidence our clients need and deserve by delivering all of our services under one umbrella.

We have grown to be a team of strategists, creatives, and designers headquartered in New York City. We create brand designs, content, websites, and campaigns that look beyond the fad to build thoughtful and impactful solutions.
