Paris Hilton launches lashes

Friday, April 30th, 2010

We love product launches, especially when they include a selection of delicious pink cocktails. That’s exactly what our favourite beauty editors enjoyed at the preview of the new Paris Hilton by Elegant Touch nail and lashes last week.

Our lovely client Original Additions, the company behind brands like Elegant Touch and leading lash brand Eylure, has been working closely with the stylish socialite for the past few months to develop a fun and frivolous range of four nail and lash styles, which go on sale nationwide today (30 April). So you can only imagine our excitement at being able to throw a playfully pink party complete with Paris lookalikes, a pink lash and nail bar and hot pink canapés. 

Guests who attended the launch, including beauty editors from Reveal, Handbag.com, Cosmopolitan.co.uk and Closer magazine, left with a hot pink goody bag brimming with samples and a few special treats from Paris. 

Check out what some of the beauty bloggers are saying already….

Courvoisier Revolutionary Spirit Festival

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

First there was the Courvoisier Architectural Punchbowl, created in conjunction with foodie revolutionaries Bompas & Parr. Then came the Courvoisier Café du Pique Nique experience, brought to fruition by CVTF500 newcomers the Robin Collective, which saw the Future Gallery transformed into a surreal indoor picnic arena.

Hot off the press, we have news of the must-go, must-see sensation of the summer, Courvoisier Revolutionary Spirit 2010. This one-of-a-kind ‘festival’ will see a series of innovative events taking place in London, kicking off on Bastille Day, 14 July. Here’s a taste of what to expect from the Courvoisier Revolutionary Spirit 2010:

• An Epicurean Adventure – The Complete History of Food. A food and drink experiential event curated by Bompas & Parr

• Secret Garden Party 2010, 22 – 25 July. Freddie Fellowes, CVTF500 member and founder of Secret Garden, has invited Courvoisier to create an incredible drinks installation at this year’s extravaganza. Think pedal-powered Courvoisier punch fountains on an awesome scale …

PR Week league tables

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

The annual PR Week Top 150 league table came out today and it was very exciting to see that we’ve risen dramatically in the rankings, from 102 last year to 71 in 2010!  Needless to say we’re delighted, not least because the industry has had a very tough year and it’s a real pat on the back for our team to see that we not only survived the bumpy ride, but positively thrived.

We’re also the second fastest growing consultancy in the Top 100, based on % turnover growth (08 v. 09).  No mean achievement in any year, but in a 12-month period which saw average growth among the Top 150 agencies of just 0.75%, we’re really chuffed.
