Oral Fixation’s tradeshow season is well underway and we couldn’t be busier! Our sparkling Sales VP Laure just got back from a 3-day fancy food gig in San Francisco at the Moscone Center, while Eric our dynamo Chief Exec of Operations and myself (Delpha, the newly acquired Marketing Coordinator) are gearing up for a 5-day gift industry show in the Big Apple. Yet, none of this bi-coastal travel can match our president Henry’s trip to Germany for an international tradeshow in Cologne! Honestly, we can’t complain. Despite the whirlwind atmosphere we love these events because we get to meet new people and spread the Oral Fixation mission of making everyday objects beautiful. And for all you OF mint junkies out there, its just going to get easier and easier for you to get your fix!

Stay tuned for the unveiling our our new BLACKBOOK monthly newsletter and major website updates!!!

Grindhopping

Oral Fixation makes its literary debut in the first chapter of Laura Vanderkam’s Grindhopping, published by McGraw Hill. In her book Laura documents the Oral Fixation success story and how the company and its young execs, Henry & Eric, are the prime example of how creating your own job description can lead to a rewarding career – sans the lifetime spent climbing up the corporate ladder. Laura vividly recounts her visit to the Chocolate Factory and even mentions our buddy Jack! To get your hands on a copy and read Laura’s take on the Chocolate Factory’s interesting décor, how Oral Fixation breaks the mold, and fab quotes from the Mint Guys…click here.
