Our mission is simple:

We want to help the fair trade organizations - like the producers, the retailers or the federations - show the impacts of fair trade to the consumers.

So what exactly can we do for you?

Our specialty is to create refreshing content that tells the story of the fair trade producers.

Let me give you an example:

Let's say you work with a fair trade supplier in a remote area of the Philippines.

Well, we could travel out there for you. We'll jump on a plane, a boat, a scooter, a rickshaw (or most likely all of the above!) with our cameras & computers until we reach the producer. Once there, we will get to work and start collecting the material.

On a typical shooting day we will interview 2 to 3 people to gather their stories but also film the production process, life in the community and take hundreds of photos of what is going on around us. Our long experience with the producers taught us to ask the right questions during the interviews, guaranteeing that you get the best stories to show the impacts of fair trade. See we are not your regular cameramen and editors, WE ARE FAIR TRADE SPECIALISTS. We've been in the game for a long time now and this gives us a profound understanding of the movement.

After harvesting the images, the next thing we could do for you is to craft the stories.
The material we collect during our shootings is like a rough diamond. To give it value, we need to cut it properly and mount it on the appropriate support.

So based on what you need, we can deliver beautiful photo sets for creating posters or to use on your website & social media, or we can skip to what we do best: editing entertaining and custom videos to give life to the fair trade stories.

But...to buy a video is quite expensive right?

Well, not necessarily. We understand not every company has a huge budget for purchasing this kind of material. That is why we have special offers for free photos and also videos with very reasonable prices. We want our content to be available to all.

Speaking of freebies, you can visit our website and access more than 300 producer interviews. Feel free to listen to their testimonies and write some stories for your blog or social media.

So basically we have lots of content and we want you to start using it to show the impacts of fair trade to the world...

But this is not all!
What keeps us on the road almost all year round and motivates us every day is that OUR WORK IS GIVING A VOICE TO THE GRASSROOTS PRODUCERS.

The farmers & artisans that we interview all have interesting stories about how fair trade has improved their lives ...and we believe it is OUR MISSION to bring it out there to the consumers!

How many times have we heard the question: “is fair trade really helping the producers?”. Well working with Fair Trade Connection will help you answer that question once and for all.
