Over the past 13 years at Bacardí Rum, Duggan has worked in global and North American marketing roles across a number of leading spirits brands including Grey Goose Vodka and Bombay Sapphire Gin.
During the conversation, they discussed what first drew Duggan into a career in marketing and the spirits industry, what fuels his creativity, how he unlocks creativity in others, and what Bacardí is doing to drive sustainability and their recent foray into the ready-to-drink space.
Learn why Duggan prefers humbleness over hierarchy when creating the ideal and creative work environment, and his thoughts on the importance of storytelling and product innovation. They also discuss Bacardí Rum’s most ambitious campaign in the past 20 years, centering on the first-ever remake of the global hit single “Conga.”
