Hi there,


"Multinational Corporation" means fat-cat directors, monopolistic abuse and plundering the planet, right?
Well, if so, it's bad news; because whilst Firefly may look like 6 "nice" people in a converted garage in South Ken, we are in fact the centre of a global empire that met at an undisclosed location last week. (See below).
Miaow.

But it's not all doom and domination. Mystery celebrities. Free Detox. Silly pictures. Did we say free Detox?
So we can't be all bad.

Thanks for keeping in touch, and hope all's well with you...

Harry & Marcus
 

Our (little) world summit

Our international distributors squeezing into the Firefly office People all over the world are drinking Firefly. 31 countries and counting.

So we thought it was time we had our first "global summit". We had 16 international distributors, flipcharts, projectors, and, yes, lots and lots of Firefly.
 

But did they conform to national stereotype?

Well, Italy was chattier than Iceland.
Malaysia took the most pictures.
And the Colombians had the biggest briefcases.
So no, not remotely.

 

Firefly runs dry in the USA

Empty shelves - when it's gone it's gone... Our quest for Global Domination hit a hurdle recently when Firefly ran out in the USA.

It's been quite a crisis: one shop in Beverley Hills even asked for 200 bottles to be FedExed over "at any cost" for his "very famous celebrity" customer.

Sadly, the celebrity is so famous, we aren't allowed to know who it is. But in case you're reading, er, hello, and hope they made it OK.

As for the rest of you in the US, a new consignment of Firefly is arriving in Seattle on Monday, and we'll have more sorted by the time we come over to San Francisco in January. Promise. But thank you for bearing with us...

 

Champion Chill out

Richard Peck's winning Chill out photo on our bottle 78 people sent in photos for our Samaritans special edition. Thank you all of you.

We had a pretty hard-fought "debate" in the office. But we had to pick one, and decided that this social sunset fitted the bill - it's happy, it's chilled and we love a bit of Cornish coast.

So well done Richard Pack.
The new bottle should hit the shelves in January.

If you'd like to see the other contenders, we've put most of them up on "Flickr" - take a peep...
 

 

Self Defence Identity Crisis

Current self defence bottle with some sartorial advice Self Defence has been getting a bit of therapy recently...
He feels that people "don't understand" him.

So we're doing a bit of a make-over. We've got a fabulous new formula (blood oranges, yum).
And we figured, maybe the karate outfit had to go. So we're looking for a new photo, and maybe even a new name.
Which is where you come in...

Have you got a picture of feeling in a good mood in Winter? - jumping into an ice pool, roasting chestnuts, warming hands... See what you can dig out.

The deadline: we'd like to finish it off by the end of November, so the sooner the better.

And the prize: A cheque for £200 and gallons of Firefly to help you through the Winter.

Post-party peace offering

A recent Firefly office outing... Someone's probably planned your office Christmas party by now.
But have they planned the morning after?

Tell us when your party is, and we'll try and drop a few cases of Detox round the following day. Could help restore some popularity/ dignity...

We can't manage every office in London, sorry, so it's a bit of "first come, first served", mixed with "yikes, we're busy that day" and "Anyone feel like flogging down to Sutton?".
But try us.
And have fun/ be good...

Right then, back to work...

Oh, finally, have you heard about "Blackout London" day? It's tomorrow (Saturday). 4.30pm Switch off. Lucky it's a full moon;-)

All the best,

Harry & Marcus
