I had zero camera experience, with an “omg what will people think” attitude - but it didn’t stop me giving it a go. Being thrown behind a camera (on reality tv of all places) was a sink or swim moment but here we are years later and I’m still loving it! 2026 is going to be a big one ! Can’t wait to get cracking!

Episode 2 - looking in to Grafico’s environment footprint. 🍃 🦶
Last episode we met with @n0de_co who did a deep dive in to our operation from start to end. Now they have presented us with our very own “Climate Action Story” jam packed with ways we can improve our environmental footprint but in turn also make some large savings to our bottom line.
So now we have this clear action plan we can make the decisions to implement changes in the coming year. There’s lots of fun times ahead in 2026 so stay tuned - it’s going to be a BIG one!
If you’d like n0de to do a similar deep dive in to your business footprint give them a follow, and tell them Grafico sent you for a special deal! 😉 😃 ✌️ 💛 The Grafico team
