AUSTRALIAN DRINKS AWARDS 2017 | SOCIAL
WHAT THE AWARD SPONSORS HAD TO SAY “We always look forward to the big Awards night in September and celebrating the achievements of the Australian liquor industry. This year, we bolstered the science behind the Awards and, in conjunction with the drinks association, made enhancements to the judging criteria to ensure the industry’s efforts were best measured.” – JUSTIN SARGENT Nielsen Pacific CEO “I thoroughly enjoyed this year’s Australian drinks Awards; it’s a fantastic opportunity to get together and celebrate with friends and colleagues across the industry. This year’s Supplier of the Year result was our first tie and a real demonstration of the fact that you don’t have to be a large-scale supplier to stand out in the eyes of the retailers. As we download our insights to the supplier community, it’s great to see the level of engagement we have across the industry and the ongoing support for the Trade Survey.” – JOHN MCLOUGHLIN Advantage Asia Pacific Group Managing Director
