PROBLEMS FACED BY DIAGEO IN

DIFFERENT COUNRTIES

Russias troubled economy and a collapsing Rouble gave a hangover to the

brewer Carlsberg and drinks giant Diageo, which produces tipples ranging
from Johnnie Walker whisky to Smirnoff vodka and Guinness.

Diageo, meanwhile, is selling less whisky in Russia, with sales down by 17 per
cent in a market where, it admits, consumer confidence is low.

A political crackdown on gift giving to officials in China, unrest in Thailand,

and inflation in Nigeria, caused net sales growth to slow to 1.8 per cent in the
six months to December 31 from 2.2 per cent over the three months before.
The shares fell to 1,805.50 down 105.58.

Menezes announced a raft of self-help measures aimed at keeping the worlds

biggest drinks firm in shape. He set out a plan to cut costs by 200million
annually for the next three years that will inevitably mean more job cuts.

 A tax increase on one of its beers in Kenya and a

steep decline in sales of Chinese Baiju Spirit, due
to government-enforced austerity measures.
There was a 4% fall in net sales in Ireland during
the year, with the company saying a rise in excise
duties .
Weak spots include China and southeast Asia,
where volume fell 20% and 25% respectively, and
Venezuela, where a currency devaluation and
inflation cut Scotch sales 47%.

Scotch whisky) -Ayrshire, Scotland
Baileys(the world's best-sellingliqueur) Baileys Irish
Creamis anIrish whiskeyandcreambasedliqueur, made by

Guinness(the world's best-sellingstout) MADE IN IRELAND
AND MOSTLY IMPORTED IN AMERICA.
Diageo also owns 34% ofMot Hennessy, which owns brands
includingMot & Chandon,Veuve ClicquotandHennessy

 The company announced a formalisation process to enable

licensing of outlets that previously sold illegal alcohol,
making them exclusive Senator Keg outlets. Diageo then
trained the staff of its retail outlets - free of charge - how
to rotate kegs and wash glasses to maintain freshness and
flavour, how to serve and even how to deal with customers
who had had too much.

ADVERTISEMENT STRATEGY
Diageo developed a sophisticated marketing strategy to reenergize its
Smirnoff Vodka brand using 3 key components:
Develop a beverage that tasted like soft drinks.
Use the Smirnoff Vodka brand name but market the product as a malt
beverage to compete effectively with beer in terms of price, availability, and
advertising in electronic media.

Reorient Smirnoff Vodka itself as a young person's brand by adding new fruit
flavors and using other marketing innovations.
Diageo placed its Smirnoff Ice advertising in media venues with relatively
large youth audiences. The Center for Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY)
conducted a series of studies documenting the extent to which alcohol
advertising was placed in television programming with disproportionately
youthful audiences

PRICING STRATEGY
In Kenya, a country where illicit alcohol is thought to account for about
half of all consumption, they have worked with the government to
introduce a new affordable beer, Senator Keg, which is estimated to have
replaced 600 million servings of unregulated drink.
Diageo made strategy Providing a safe, ultra low-cost beer to compete
with illegal supplies could play a crucial role in both resolving alcoholrelated health problems and in achieving the targeted growth for Diageo.
The company created a new product - a beer called Senator Keg - to tap
the approximately 60 per cent of consumers who drank only illegal
alcohol.
Diageo wants to build up its luxury portfolio in India as India is the third
largest spirits market by volume. Thus, Diageo aimed to implement a
strategy called Premiumisation, which means product prices increase
and more premium products are introduced into the market. It gives the
consumer the option to trade up; better is better

OPERATION STARTEGY
Diageo caters its operations to each country for an optimal
efficiency. In order to explore this model, they looked at two
dissimilar countries: The United States and India.
The US is an established, reliable, and highly profitable
market. In the US, the worlds most profitable beverage
market, Diageo has strong routes-to-market (RTM) which
leverage local expertise to optimize sales.
Whereas, India is an emerging market of which a large
growing middle class is Diageos target market. India has a
very large population spread out over numerous states,
languages and cultures, all factors that a company have
considered when selling a product.

FINANCIAL STRATEGY

In response to financial pressures, the company has announced a costcutting program which aims to reduce spending by 200 million pounds a
year by the end of fiscal 2017 (Bloomberg 2014). CFO Deirdre Mahlan
said that most of the savings will be from information systems,
procurement of goods and services, and simplification of the
organization.
