– The Drink is Pure: It’s Your Mind That’s the Problem

Created by British entrepreneur Jonnie Shearer in 2004, Pussy has been a
well kept secret in celebrity circles until London fashion store Selfridges
ordered thousands of cans this summer. Tesco has followed suit recently
launching Pussy in selected stores. Now firmly in the retail spotlight,
Pussy is finalising global distribution deals – and with Branson investment,
has its sights set on knocking taurine based energy drinks off the number
one spot.
Holly Branson said: “When I see and experience a brand I love, I want to
get involved. Pussy is fun, irreverent and exciting. The energy drinks
market is growing, but it’s crowded with unhealthy options. Investing in
Pussy is my commitment to a product that I believe in.”
Sam Branson commented: “Pussy initially turned my head for all the
obvious reasons, but then I was impressed by the taste and how naturally
stimulating it is.”
With Holly and Sam Branson’s support, Pussy is seeking partners to
expand into further international territories including the USA and will
launch in Russia this month. Currently, it is stocked in 3,500 retail
outlets and is available to order by the case online.
Jonnie Shearer, founder of Pussy, said: “Seven years into marketing the
brand through word of mouth, members’ clubs and private events from Monaco
to LA, we’re proud to be recognised as a major player in the energy drinks
market. My plan is to make Pussy a lifestyle brand, like the Virgin brand
that I have admired so much over the years.”
3,000 cans of Pussy were transformed in to a 8m wide and 1.5m high 3D
sculpture by installation artist Emma Winter to announce Sam and Holly
Branson’s investment in Pussy, the 100% natural energy drink.
