CollaborationsWeight Watchers recommend four litres of water a day, which is a whopping amount! We joined ranks with them to o�er their members an easy, stylish way to reach the target. Sales figures make them our biggest co-branding partner.
Beauty retailers also promote the same key message – water cleanses and flushes toxins. Clinique approached us ahead of an event, and we supplied a mountain of bottles for them to give away in beauty packs. Similarly, Smashbox and Simple received sample hampers, pretty much sewing up the o�ce Secret Santa challenge.
Experimental PushWe’ve created a product that people want to buy, woot! But we also happen to care quite a lot about responding to global trends and considerations.
We’re jumping headfirst into the family corner of the market, in a quest to minimise fizzy drinks in our kitchen cupboards and kids’ diets. We’ve run pop-up events in schools featuring pick ‘n’ mix fruit bars, where children are given trays of oddly shaped, brightly coloured, juicy little fruit jewels to smell, squish and taste.
A bit of kiwi and cantaloupe melon translates into engagement, ownership and pride – the next generation of water worshippers.
Together with Selfridges, we’re committed to the #OneLess pledge as part of World Ocean Day, helping to eradicate plastic pollution and keep the fishies happy. Encouraging consumers towards sustainable, refillable hydration stations and away from single-use bottles is how we roll.
Sustainability and reusability marries up beautifully with our ethos. We’ll support a variety of campaigns around this, through live demos, trade events, and charity work; recently pledging to donate £1 per unit sold to Drop 4 Drop in line with their campaign for#CleanWaterForAll

500ml of tap water costs you about half a penny vs 50p for the same volume in bottled water.
