It's been a long strange Packaging trip!

It's been a long time since I wrote anything about packaging! The reason for this is last July, I was hired to work for the number 1 spirits company in the world: Diageo NA. My title is Graphics Commercialization Manager for New-to-World (NTW) Innovation. Originally, I was brought in as a consultant and later on was hired full time.

So far, I've been working on some premuim packaging for recent entries into the spirits world such as Rökk Vodka, Moon Mountain Vodka, Godiva Vodka and others. The experience with Diageo has been great so far as the company is filled with very bright people working towards a common goal: to be the best. I recommend if you are looking to work for a world class CPG Beverage/Spirits company, go to the Diageo Careers website and search for a position that suit your experience or just set up a profile.

The reason that I haven't been blogging is that I am worried that I will get flooded with requests. I just don't have the bandwidth nor am I a specifier of packaging components. If you are doing something really innovative in the packaging field though, send me a note. Please drink responsibly!!
