"It was always about the power of authenticity," says Firecracker spokesperson, Claire Alexander. "We wanted a concept that was fresh and developed in a manner that resonated with today's society and sentiments.
"And when it comes to the young professional women that are shaping today's landscape, we wanted to partner with a brand that was already invested in this market. Strawberry Lips was the obvious choice."
Supporting strong, empowered women
