Saint Johns, MI, Dec. 12, 2017 -- Marani Brands, Inc. (OTC PINK: MRIB) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce its appointment of Danish entrepreneur, Emil Schouw, to the Board of Directors. The Company is also announcing that it is engaging with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) to establish partnerships with artisanal producers of essential oils and other products in the Kingdom of Morocco.

This addition to the team is in line with the Company’s strategy of creating a portfolio of unique, niche, “affordable luxury” products that can be distributed across multiple channels, online and offline.

Management looks forward to showcasing its new products and web properties in the coming weeks.
