Our Philosophy
Inspired by grass-root businesses, education and community projects, we want to apply the same principles to the health and wellness industry.
Why? Because showcasing and empowering hidden talents will build not only businesses, but also confidence, self esteem, respect and self worth. It’s these community principles that are the foundation of our philosophy.
That’s why we’re passionate about gratiFLY, and as a team of go getters, we know exactly what it can feel like to realise your potential.

Inclusive
Our gratiFLIERs do not need to fit a certain mould. As long as our approval checks are in place they can go forth and gratiFLY!

Our Story
In 2020 Tayo Oyebanji and his wife Anastasia embarked on a mission to provide a platform for beauty and wellness talents, who may not work in salons or have marketing tools outside of their Instagram, but deserve to be showcased in the community.
Tayo, a pharmacist and at that time also a lecturer at the University of Lincoln School of Pharmacy, and usually the only male in the many pharmacies where he worked, couldn’t believe this almost secret society of hidden talents his female colleagues were swapping details about. Imagine if there was a simple discovery platform where these talents could grow their customer base, and customers in turn, were easily able to find them from the palm of their hands.
Anastasia is already a pillar of their community in Lincoln, campaigning for local mental health and trauma services, and volunteering for local food charities. Creating a business that enables positive change was a no brainer!
The gratiFLY app was created to connect communities with hidden talents, [we call them gratiFLIERS], who may not have the means, time or skillset to advertise independently.
“We hope to be the first step for many in realising their true potential.”
“Empowering people is in our DNA.
From our humble roots in Lincolnsire, we’re on a global mission for good.”
