About Gobenanas

Marketing & design, powered by brains, heart, and potassium.

Hi, we’re Ben & Ana

A couple in life and business, we met working at a big conference where our shared values clicked before our job titles did. From day one, we knew we were better together—not just in love, but at work.

We started Gobenanas because we didn’t want to be just another name on a Slack channel or a cog in the agency machine. And we didn’t want our clients to feel that way either.

Today, we work with people and projects we believe in. Ones that need smart marketing and great design—but also a bit of soul.

 Why we work well (together and with you)

We’re different, and that’s what works.

Ana’s the extrovert: the commercial brain, the team mentor, the campaign driver.

Ben’s the introvert: the analytical creative, happiest in headphones, exploring ideas and refining the details.

We bounce off each other—sometimes literally—but always with respect. And we know that a little debate is where the good stuff sparks.

Our clients often say working with us feels like gaining an extra set of hands and heads. We’re responsive, creative, calm under pressure—and we actually care. No egos. No autopilot.

Where we work

We’re based in sunny Spain, work remotely, and often travel to the events we design and support. Most of our clients are in Europe and the US, but we’ve worked with teams in Singapore and China too. If it’s an English-speaking project with a global feel—we’re probably into it.

We don’t do everything. But what we do? We do really well.

OUR STORY

A couple in life and business, we met working at a big conference where our shared values clicked before our job titles did. From day one, we knew we were better together—not just in love, but at work.

We started Gobenanas because we didn’t want to be just another name on a Slack channel or a cog in the agency machine. And we didn’t want our clients to feel that way either.

Today, we work with people and projects we believe in. Ones that need smart marketing and great design—but also a bit of soul.

Where We Work

We’re based in sunny Spain, work remotely, and often travel to the events we design and support. Most of our clients are in Europe and the US, but we’ve worked with teams in Singapore and China too. If it’s an English-speaking project with a global feel—we’re probably into it.

We don’t do everything. But what we do? We do really well.

Why We Work Well (Together, and With You)

We’re different, and that’s what works.

Ana’s the extrovert: the commercial brain, the team mentor, the campaign driver.

Ben’s the introvert: the analytical creative, happiest in headphones, exploring ideas and refining the details.

We bounce off each other—sometimes literally—but always with respect. And we know that a little debate is where the good stuff sparks.

Our clients often say working with us feels like gaining an extra set of hands and heads. We’re responsive, creative, calm under pressure—and we actually care. No egos. No autopilot.

Our values

We believe great work comes from

Empathy

for our clients, their audiences, and the humans behind every brand.

Agility

because the plan always changes, and we’re here for it.

Trust

built through clear communication, care, and consistency.

Curiosity

we ask questions. We explore. We don’t copy-paste.

A bit more human

Ana’s Colombian, built her marketing career in London, and brings a warm, global perspective to every brief.

Ben’s a Londoner, shaped by the city’s energy and a lifetime of travel—balanced by the calm of St. Ives, where he learned to slow down and pay attention. That mix shows up in everything he designs.

We’ve got a cat with a big personality, a dog named Mulata who changed our world, and a beautiful baby girl who’s added even more purpose to why we do what we do. Travel inspires us. Culture moves us. Good work keeps us going.

 

And “Gobenanas”? It started as our couple nickname—then turned into a mantra.

 

Do things differently. Go bold. Be bananas. (In a good way.)
