Harnessing the Power of Cross-Industry Collaborations 🚀
I’m thrilled to share a recent collaboration that perfectly showcases the strength of cross-industry partnerships. Working with the InterContinental Montreal and St-Léonard Toyota, we created content that highlights the synergy between luxury accommodations and premium automobiles.
In an era where digital presence is crucial, collaborating with brands from related industries can create compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. By merging the Intercontinental Hotel with Toyota vehicles, we’ve not only amplified the visibility of both brands but also captured the imagination of their respective audiences.
Cross-audience engagement is a strategy that leverages shared values and aesthetics to drive mutual growth. For the Intercontinental Hotel and Toyota Saint-Leonard, this collaboration was a chance to reach new segments of potential clients and showcase how their services complement each other.
If you’re looking to elevate your brand's presence, consider how strategic partnerships can enhance your reach and impact.
The results can be truly remarkable when two distinct yet complementary brands come together.
A special thank you to Elias Kajjouni, the General Manager at Toyota Saint-Leonard, for making this collaboration happen.

🌟 Exciting Times in France! 🌟
Last week me and Sandra Latté joined TFWA Exhibition in Cannes, and I couldn’t be more inspired by the energy and innovation that filled the air. This annual event is a cornerstone for the travel retail industry, a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders, explore innovative products, and gain insights into the future of travel retail.
Throughout the exhibition, we had the chance to connect with industry leaders, explore groundbreaking products, and engage in thought-provoking discussions about the future of travel retail. From emerging brands to established names, it was fascinating to see how everyone is adapting to the changing landscape and shifting consumer preferences.
One highlight for me was the focus on sustainability. Many brands showcased their innovative approaches to reducing environmental impact, and it’s encouraging to see a collective commitment to creating a more sustainable future for travel retail.
With increasing consumer demand for sustainability and convenience, innovative packaging solutions are more important than ever, and the innovative trends were incredible at Luxepack in Monaco! We had the pleasure of attending several insightful panels and discussions that explored emerging trends in packaging design, consumer behavior, and technology. The emphasis on personalization and storytelling through packaging truly resonated with me—it’s clear that packaging is not just about protection; it’s about creating a memorable brand experience.
A heartfelt thank you to the organizers and everyone I had the pleasure of meeting. Let’s carry this momentum forward and continue to push the boundaries of luxury packaging!
Here’s to new ideas, partnerships, and a sustainable future in the world of luxury packaging! 🚀✨

ARI is leading the way in pioneering retail that meets the needs of a new generation of travellers - including the TDS-designed DFNI award winning store at Lisbon Airport for Portugal Duty Free. Preloved/Vintage is particularly challenging to operate in the Travel Retail environment but pioneers like ARI (and Harding+ on-board cruise ships) are showing the way.
#sustainabilty#lisbon#preloved

Bravo Pernod Ricard#Brandhomes!
🏆These #WorldTravelAwards and nominations aren’t just a true honor for our unique #Brandhomes and distilleries—it’s a testament to the industry’s broader impact on sustainable growth, travel & tourism and cultural heritage in Europe 🇪🇺 and beyond 🌍
📈These awards highlight the increasing recognition of industrial assets in the spirits sector as significant drivers of value creation. This recognition is a powerful reminder that our #brands are far more than otherwise extraordinary production facilities—they are vital cultural and economic pillars for growth and value creation for entire cultural & tourism experience economy.
🌾 🍇Distilleries, often located in rural communities, have become key contributors to sustainable economic growth by partnership with local partners and the travel & tourism industry 🧭 The sector’s integration into tourism not only amplifies brand visibility but also supports local economies through job creation, hospitality services, and regional development.
🍹🥂Beyond economic value, these awards underscores the cultural dimension of wines & spirits production. Wineries and distilleries are custodians of heritage, preserving traditional craftsmanship while sharing stories of their origins, ingredients, know-how and artisanal techniques, often protected by #GeographicalIndications. For visitors, the experience is more than just knowing and tasting fantastic products, responsibly and in moderation; it’s an immersion into a region’s identity, history, and legacy, and also in their international success.
🍾As we celebrate this achievements, let's continue championing #excellence for the transformative contribution of the wines & spirits industries to travel & tourism, rural development, and cultural preservation, and promote, in partnership, policies that take into full consideration this contribution!
