Fetch Rewards and Pernod Ricard USA Team Up to Deliver Free Rewards on Iconic Spirits Brands

The full partnership is Fetch Rewards’ first in the spirits category, giving Fetch Rewards shoppers new opportunities to receive rewards points and other loyalty benefits when purchasing Pernod Ricard spirits – including popular brands like Jameson® Irish Whiskey, Absolut® Vodka, Malibu®, and more – from any retailer. The Fetch Rewards app is free to download at the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

“Pernod Ricard USA is thrilled to partner with Fetch as their exclusive spirits partner, giving our consumers access to unique value adds and customized reward incentives across our spirits portfolio of brands,” said Kristen Colonna, VP Marketing Accelerator, Pernod Ricard USA. “Fetch’s robust model furthers our ambition of creating personalized and optimized omnichannel experiences at scale, and allows us to nurture 1:1 relationships with our consumers and drive business growth.”

The first-ever spirits company on the Fetch Rewards platform, Pernod Ricard stands out as one of the best-performing pilots in Fetch Rewards’ history. Through the strategic deployment of targeted offers and personalized communication to legal drinking age shoppers in the market for spirits, Fetch delivered significant incremental sales lift for Pernod Ricard. And by tapping into Fetch Rewards’ highly engaged audience, Pernod Ricard was able to reach new customers while increasing sales among existing buyers.

“Brands are choosing to partner with Fetch because we have a proven ability to drive meaningful brand engagement, and share actionable insights with our partners,” said Pat Burke, Chief Revenue Officer, Fetch Rewards. “The value we provide is a real competitive advantage, and as a result, we’re adding new partners at an unprecedented rate. We’re delighted to officially welcome Pernod Ricard to the Fetch family and to continue rewarding Fetch shoppers.”

Fetch has amassed the largest coalition of brand panthers ever to come together on one platform – and the momentum is growing. Already in 2022, Fetch has announced partnerships with E. & J. Gallo Winery, Kodiak, and Sargento following positive results from each respective pilot program. Existing partners like Unilever, Kimberly-Clark, PepsiCo are also choosing to renew with Fetch due to the platform’s ability to drive long-term results.

Fetch works directly with consumer-packaged goods (CPG) companies, retailers, and restaurants to give consumers access to free rewards with every purchase. The app allows shoppers to accumulate rewards points by submitting pictures of any receipt — from any store or restaurant — and by linking eReceipts from online retailers. Points are then redeemed for free gift cards and other rewards, right within the Fetch app.

World’s 1st Underwater Bar Opens to Mark Launch of Hendrick’s Neptunia Gin

Fearless attendees who dared to descend to the depths of the sea and sit at this unusual bar installed on the sand of the ocean floor had the opportunity to taste a cocktail underwater thanks to the latest generation of specially-designed scuba tanks for this purpose. The tasting atmosphere includes being surrounded by all kinds of marine species: sharks, cow-nosed rays, turtle masks and even mythological mermaids.

With the launch of NEPTUNIA, Hendrick’s will raise funds to support marine ecosystems, one of the least known but most important groups of organisms living at the sea. Funds raised from NEPTUNIA’s sales will be donated to Seagrass and will cover the costs that enable the charity to sustainably scale its operations to restore and protect marine biodiversity globally.

Troegs Intros Perpetual Haze

This new IPA has been available only at the Pennsylvania brewery, but now will be available on draft and in 16-ounce cans wherever Troegs is sold.  It combines the clean, crisp bitterness of a West Coast with the softness of a hazy, the company says. Pale malts lay down an underlying complexity, while raw wheat, London 3 yeast and vigorous dry-hopping stir up a haze that cradles the citrusy hop combination. Front and center are Citra and Cashmere, unlocking juicy notes of orange, nectarine and passionfruit.
