Eid Bazaar 2023
Unilever Head Office

On April 19, 2023, we joined hands with Unilever Pakistan to celebrate the spirit of Eid while actively supporting women-led enterprises as part of a pre-Eid campaign. We were deeply honored to be entrusted with the task of curating stalls featuring businesses led by women from our vibrant community of artisans and creatives for the Head Office Pre-Eid Bazaar.

The pop-up event served as a remarkable initiative to promote and uplift women crafting a diverse range of products, including jewelry, hair accessories, skincare items, unique gifts, decorative pieces, candles, and lifestyle products.

    Creative Director
    Firefly

    To be honest, Firefly was a last minute entry because all the creatives suited for this opportunity / genre were unavailable due to time frame and stock availability. It was a moment that made me realize the immense value of being an independent studio. We have the ability to handle production and inventory in short turnaround times. While breaking into the scene may not be the easiest task, this experience is one I will forever hold dear.

    It provided me with valuable insights into our existing customer base, helping me understand which items are more likely to be crowd-pleasers and why it's essential to have inventory ready seasonally for such opportunities. Alhamdulillah! Firefly also managed to secure a corporate order four months later through a lead from this pop-up event. The products on display were well-suited for a merchandising opportunity, which we once again executed smoothly within just two working days for an activation!

    We're always thrilled to showcase our passion to new audiences, and we cherished the fact that the intimate setting allowed us to make new friends along the way.

    The Candle Wick Store

    Setting up our candle store for a pop-up at Unilever Pakistan was an exhilarating experience. The opportunity to showcase our artisanal, soy wax candles in a venue known for its quality products was both nerve-wracking and exciting. This event was a remarkable platform to showcase our passion for candles, and it was both humbling and inspiring to be surrounded by like-minded individuals and brands who shared our dedication to responsible craftsmanship.

    The event not only exposed our brand to a broader audience but also translated into significant financial empowerment. Moreover, the alignment of our products with Unilever's values led to increased foot traffic and sales, enabling us to recoup our investment and generate profits. Thank you, Unilever, for being the spark that ignited our success!
