05 — Business cases

Beau Domaine — from diagnostic to acceleration

Beau Domaine, a French luxury genderless brand, grew fast but needed to refocus on the basics — brand and route to market. SEAGOT11 grew its desirability and performance.

+110%Revenue

What we did

  • Redefined the brand's identity, desirability & narrative
  • Rationalised pricing, the marketplace mix & DTC funnel
  • Landed the La Compagnie partnership — a strategic partnership that redefines the brand's journey and narrative.

Drinks & Co — Pernod Ricard

At the time, reclaiming the lead on distribution was critical. Drinks & Co was created as the Sephora of wines & spirits — Pernod Ricard's first global omnichannel brand, built entirely in-house, and the Group's first digital-acquisition play.

She has lived and worked in four countries, including across the Atlantic, has travelled and operated in some fifty countries across three continents, and holds an MBA specialised in the international wine & spirits trade.

SEAGOT is a connected network of experts — across supply, social, AI and every discipline that makes a business fully operational, from vision to operations.

The name — SEAGOT plays on the sea-goat (Capricorn): a mythical creature at home on the mountain — vision and high strategy — and in the depths of the water — consumer insight and hands-on operational reality.

Recommendations

What clients & peers say.

Intelligence and dynamism that step-changed e-commerce at Pernod Ricard — developing and launching the Group's first international D2C brand and business, Drinks&Co, and making eRetail its fastest-growing sales channel. I would jump at the opportunity to work together again.

Antonia McCahon

It takes five minutes to realise you're dealing with a real force of nature — brilliant, charismatic, creative, hard-working and driven; the full package. I have closely seen how they successfully transformed the beauty & skincare category within the company. Their achievements are notorious, to say the least — getting the markets and brands on board equally. The projects are driven with incredible passion and strength. I consider myself privileged to have worked together across the beauty & skincare category over the years.

Eduardo Gomez

A great passion for brands and branding, excellent with agencies and at getting things done, a real pleasure to work with — always bringing energy and a smile. It was great collaborating within my European team at eBay.

Torsten Schuppe

An amazing business person — always looking at things from a different angle and driving the business forward with passion and conviction, especially at Pernod Ricard around the global launch of Drinks & Co.

Janelle Tong

Une approche à la fois stratégique, pragmatique et très professionnelle. Je recommande sans hésitation.
