“Without each one of the Staples / Marke team, our go live launch date would not have been possible. The team showed true dedication and determination. The time and effort put in was just amazing. The professionalism and the endless hours spent was impressive.
It feels good to operate with a team that is so self-reliant and motivated and who, despite having a busy schedule, made the project look easy. The amount of effort that the team put into the job to complete it was tremendous. The energy levels and the sincerity which was displayed were exemplary. You not only motivate others but also push them to give their all at work. I am so blessed to have been able to work with all of you.”
“We work closely with Marke Creative due to their expert local market knowledge and flexibility to react to local market conditions, giving us an advantage to offer a market-specific range while reacting to any potential issues effectively for our dealers and end-customers. The Marke Creative team represent many of our core values: by challenging the norm and continually offering a range that excites and ignites the brand passion. Having worked with Marke Creative for a number of years, the team’s passion for what they do shows through in everything they do.“
“My experience with Marke Creative representatives is that they always go above and beyond. Communication is great. If something is out of stock, or the lead time may take longer than average, they always source a great alternative for me. The team are very knowledgeable about their products. In light of this, I have found that the quality of the products has been superb.”
“We were particularly impressed by the level of commitment and professionalism that characterises the organisational culture at Marke Creative. We also recognise and admire Marke Creative’s passion for sustainability which was the theme of our event.”
“Your support, ideas, thinking and can-do attitude enabled us to develop a sustainable solution our exec team were happy to stand behind and also one we could use across our 3000 convenience store estate.”

Straws, plastic and cardboard cups and now beauty wipes. Slowly but surely, single use is becoming a buzzword for anti-social and unethical.
Leading high-end department store Selfridges is making a real statement around their commitment to sustainability in this move. Many of their customers will use beauty wipes as part of their daily routine. According to the Standard, Selfridges undertook some customer research prior to the ban and found that less than a fifth of consumers knew that it can take 100 years for plastic-based single-use wipes to fully degrade.
Daniella Vega, Director of Sustainability at Selfridges, said: ““Single-use beauty wipes have been a staple of many beauty drawers, but they are incredibly harmful to the environment. During a recent Selfridges team beach clean, we saw first-hand the impact they have on our waterways and beaches and we were even more motivated to remove them from our stores.”
This move is just the latest in the move away from single use products, and this must surely send out alarm bells to the promo industry. Creating promotional products which are sustainable is a must, if the industry is to be well, sustainable.
The way to do this is twofold;
First, through quality. Producing promotional items people will want to keep, use, re-use and even repurpose due to their high quality, good design and appealing look.
And second, it’s through innovation. Looking at exciting, new to market products, which are earth friendly and lead, rather than follow the trends.
At Marke our products do both. Our catalogues are filled with high quality, functionable, appealing products consumers will love. And we also lead the way with eco-innovation, supplying socks made from fishnets, notebooks made from ground coffee waste, sunglasses and straws made from wheat. And much more.
