Castilians Millie Wain and Olivia Moore have completed a highly sought after placement year at renowned wine and spirits company, Pernod Ricard.
Having both studied Business Studies at NULS, Millie and Olivia applied for placements at Pernod Ricard as part of their sandwich year at University and were both lucky enough to be reunited in London.
Olivia, who studies Retailing, Marketing and Management at Loughborough University, worked within the global travel retail division working on digital marketing and e-commerce campaigns for prestige whiskey brands. Olivia also supported PR and media for new product launches and key travel retail events, as well as global retail training projects targeting customer facing brand consultants within airports.
Millie studies Management with Marketing at The University of Bath and has worked on the Absolut, Malibu and Chivas Regal brands in the portfolio for the UK, working closely on experiential events, new product launches, influencer relations and being involved in brand and competitor analysis during annual brand planning for the year ahead.
Speaking of their placements, Millie and Olivia said: “We have experienced so much and have been given so many opportunities to put what we have learnt at school and at university into a real life business environment.”
“The placement gave us a great opportunity to meet new people and develop both personally and professionally, attending company events in London and beyond.”
“We absolutely loved our time at NULS and the support from staff, both inside the classroom and with extracurricular activities, gave us the foundations to head to university and enter a professional environment.”
