Our Story, Told Frankly
Hi, I’m Taryn - founder of BeFrank, where creativity meets purpose.
I grew up in Wellington, spent a chunk of time in Auckland, and now call North Canterbury home. I live here with my partner, our son and daughter, and our two dogs.
With over 20 years in the promotional and print industry, I’ve helped brands of all shapes and sizes make their mark - not just with standout products, but with stories people actually remember.
Our mission
BeFrank was built to make promotional marketing simpler, smarter, and more human.
We work as an extension of your team - helping you choose the right products, source them responsibly, and get them branded and delivered without the usual hassle.
With experience working directly with overseas factories, we know what questions to ask, what to watch for, and how to get the best result for your budget.
No fluff. No pressure. Just practical advice and promotional products that do their job.
Through thoughtful creativity, personal collaboration, and two decades of hands-on experience, we craft branding and promotional solutions that don’t just look good - they feel right.
Our goal is simple: to make your brand unforgettable, one clever, authentic idea at a time.
