It's exceptionally rare to get Diageo and Pernod Ricard to agree on anything (!) but the importance of brand archives is central to both Guinness and Irish Distillers. Eibhlin Colgan [https://www.linkedin.com/in/eibhlin-colgan-b2289213/] and Carol Quinn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/carol-quinn-73579830/] sat down in the Connoisseur Bar in the Guinness Storehouse to explain that a corporate archive is central to preserving and enhancing brand value. Archives can do so much, from providing insights for current marketing campaigns to informing CSR work to inspiring new product development with stories of previous successes/failures. Carol and Eibhlin share stories and tales from the past but explain how even modern start ups need to be thinking about creating an archive if they are to build value into the future. PS Don't use Sellotape to stick papers into records you are archiving, ask a professional!

Martin Purvis [https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-purvis-bb595321/] is a trans-national treasure trove of information and analysis of the spirits industry. From Manchester to Edinburgh to Kentucky, via Africa, Martin has been building expertise in how commodities drive commerce. Casks have become his focus over the last few decades and he has worked with William Grant and Kelvin Cooperage, amongst others. Martin explains how cask availability, quality and regulations are changing rapidly, resulting in testing times for distillers.
