About

Yoko Co

Description

Yoko Co is a digital marketing agency committed to creating a positive impact beyond profit. We partner with mission-driven organizations to deliver tailored solutions that drive real action and conversion. Our services span branding, web design, custom development, SEO, marketing automation, video production, media relations, hosting, and compliance.

At Yoko Co, sustainability is a core tenet of our mission. We’ve long been mindful of our environmental impact and carbon footprint, bringing it down to ~10% of that of similar agencies by revenue or headcount through initiatives like our commitment to remote work (no commutes!) and shifting our entire infrastructure to be powered by renewable and carbon neutral sources.

Since 2020, we’ve maintained a carbon-neutral status and have achieved a net carbon-negative footprint by building carbonoff.co, which also offsets our employees’ personal carbon footprints.

Furthermore, we actively collaborate with organizations in the environmental sector, offering guidance to clients on reducing their own carbon emissions. Our goal is to drive meaningful change, creating a positive environmental impact through every project we undertake.
