Gordon Domlija, Wavemaker China CEO and APAC President said “Pernod Ricard is known for pushing the boundaries for excellence in product and experience marketing, something that resonates with our own values and behaviours.

Since 1975, Pernod Ricard has built one of the most comprehensive portfolios of premium brands in the industry on an international scale. In China, it leads the way amongst international wine and spirits groups. Key brands such as Chivas Regal, Martell and Royal Salute were introduced into the country over two decades ago. Pernod Ricard China delivered an outstanding sales growth of 21%, making it a key contributor to the global sales of 9.182 billion euros (72.2 billion RMB), according its 2019 fiscal report released in Paris this August.
The win is the last of a series of successes for Wavemaker China that most recently added Huawei, China Mobile and UnionPay to their client portfolio.
