Wow what an event! The big book launch party, launching our latest book Bananas About Marketing – How to Attract a Whole Bunch of Happy Clients.
Over three hundred people attended the event and we are ecstatic with the amazing feedback. Thank you so much for the support from everyone who contributed in any way, it means a lot and we couldn’t have done it without you!
Besides celebrating the book, we were also celebrating National Whale Day and the adoption of our whale who got named on the night by the audience – Cosmos!
We are very proud to be the first business community ever to adopt a whale and raise awareness for this important cause. Isabel, the director at the International Fund of Animal Welfare joined us at the event to educate us on their amazing work and how we can get involved.
At Basic Bananas we are huge believers in social business, giving back and making a difference through business and it’s our honour to be leading a generous community of small businesses who are joining us in our philanthropic efforts. It means so much to us.
The night was filled with entertainment! Nieko, a fabulous singer and songwriter kept the energy up and everybody’s feet tapping.
Sex and relationship expert Alice Haemmerle, the best in the country taught us some interesting love strategies. Yes, it did get pretty hot in there!
Trudi Ross, fabulous comedian made us laugh, Paul Telling from Gig Graphics captured the night on his big canvas and Col Bernasconi, top MC kept us on our toes and laughing all night.N
Not to forget the Deck Bar chefs who managed to put together banana-licious canapés.
All proceeds from book sales, auction and raffle tickets were donated to National Whale Day. Let’s keep making a difference! If everyone contributes a little bit, it will go a long way!
