Helloooo👋 I'm Daisy, the Marketing Manager at The Honest Bean Co! I am properly obsessed with all things beans and the whole supply chain, from seed to snack.

All time favourite is our Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar Roasted Fava Beans. They have a proper kick and are super moorish!

tell me about marketing for your brand- how do you spend your time?

Time seems to disappear pretty sharpish 😂 so I try to divide things up between, email marketing, social media, content creation and events. I make sure to give myself time for reporting and analysing what's gone well and what's not worked for us.

Black truffle for sure!

As a tasty snack, and with a gin and tonic...

what three brands have you spotted recently?

I have to say, Simply Roasted! Love what you guys are doing and the 'better for you' angle that you've taken. To add to that, Yorkshire Pasta and Pentire Drinks.
