Pernod Ricard, a global leader in wine and spirits, manages 240 brands, including Absolut Vodka, Chivas, and Jameson, sold in over 160 countries.

Events play a vital role in how Pernod Ricard connects with partners, professionals, and customers. However, managing events across so many brands and regions became an increasing challenge.

In 2020, Mélanie Schmidt, Head of IT for Consumer Experience, took on the task of simplifying and improving the Group’s event strategy with the right all-in-one event software made available to its brands and affiliates globally.

By partnering with Eventtia, Pernod Ricard Group has been proposing a unified solution to manage events, integrate data, and foster creativity throughout their global operations.

The Challenges Make Event Management Simpler, Smarter, and More Scalable

Pernod Ricard’s brands faced significant challenges in managing their events, including the use of multiple digital tools that made event planning, registrations, and communications complex and time-consuming.

They needed help gathering attendee data and connecting it to their CRM, which limited their ability to personalize communication and engage their audience.

Additionally, as a global company managing events for multiple brands across different countries, they needed a solution capable of handling complexity while supporting local requirements.

“We needed a solution that could centralize event management while giving our affiliates the flexibility to innovate.”
