Slinky Topaz is sheaths ahead of the rest

Hot news from Lyons Ames, the consultancy responsible for Topaz, the radical condom redesign featured on Diary two weeks ago.

The consultancy has won a “lovely decanter” at the Packaging Innovation Awards 1996 for its work on Topaz, says partner Kerrin Lyons.

So months of innuendo, cheap puns and saucy jokes at the research stage have paid off.

But even after the climax it seems that Lyons just can’t kick the habit. On describing his group’s success, he let slip: “We were up against some quite stiff competition.”

Glad to see you were able to rise to the occasion.
