Giving Fairtrade a Fair Shake

Do-gooders get a bad rap. Even the name inspires mostly negative connotations, but doing good can be fun. Trust us, or better yet, trust Equifruit and TUX Creative Co. who have created a new campaign to show the fun side of do-goodery, we think you’ll go bananas for it.

Equifruit is a women-led. Quebec-based, Fairtrade-certified banana importer that wanted to appeal to that ever elusive market: Millennials and Gen Z. The thing about these generations of shoppers is that they are often eco-conscience, at least on the outside; however, if you peel that away and examine their buying habits you’ll find they’re a little rotten.

“There is so much paradox in today's youth culture,” says Stacy Gagnidze, TUX Senior Creative Strategist. “We march for environmental change only to buy into wasteful seasonal packaging when the holidays come. Instead of seeing these contradictions as something shameful, we chose to adopt a similar attitude. Equifruit lives at the intersection of doing good and having fun.”

TUX designed a bright, playful aesthetic that is homespun and collage-like in execution. It inspires conversation commanding editorial text that attracts while making you think. Doing good never looked so good.
