1.22 Grand Ambassador? - Peter O'Connor on why Bartenders & Sales Managers misunderstand Brand Ambassadors
01/10/22 • 51 min
In this episode you'll learn how the role of a Brand Ambassador can be one of the most simultaneously under AND over-rated jobs in the drinks industry plus we make a big announcement on bringing BizBevPod on the road!
Foxy and Will talk to Peter O'Connor owner of the fabulous Onda Cocktail Room in Lisbon. Peter is the prefect person to guide us through the seemingly glamourous world of the Brand Ambassador, the most misunderstood job in drinks. Peter is a poacher-turned-gamekeeper-turned-poacher as he started work as an exceptional bartender before Brand Ambassador roles with Diageo and other companies in Ireland, the USA and around Europe before settling behind the bar of Onda. Peter talks with searing honesty about the highs and lows of being a Brand Ambassador.
For our Desert Island Drink we talk to Eoghan Walsh, the award winning Beer Writer based in Belgium. Eoghan talks about the thriving Belgian beer scene and bonding with his in-laws over beer and cycling.
Plus we announce the huge news that Business of Beverages is going to host an event in Leuven, Belgium on May 25th & 26th of 2020! Get in touch at [email protected] is you would like to attend, speak or sponsor.

Previous Episode
A Shot Of... Round #18 (our short silly quiz!)
Which beverage only exports 1% of its production? Which drink shares its name with an English Acid Jazz band from the 1990's?
As you'll hopefully have gathered by now, the Business of Beverages brings you drinks industry insights with makers, marketers and mischief every fortnight. However we thought that we would dial up the mischief with a short quiz/game played between Will and Foxy every other week (between the "serious" episodes).
A Shot Of... sees each of our hosts take turns trying to guess which beverage is being described in cryptic clues. The points on offer vary as the difficulty changes and competition heats up! Play along and let us know if you think you can do better! And remember, it's only a bit of craic.
Does anybody ever read the show notes? Honestly? if you're that dedicated then please give is a review or just drop us a line to let us know what you think of the podcast. We'd love to hear from you. Or just buy us a coffee... or both. Thanks.
