The alcoholic drinks producer has credited this growth to an increase in spirits sales in the US. However, in order to boost future profits, Diageo should continue to target the booming Asia-Pacific market and not be deterred by its current problems in the region.

Diageo: developing brand loyalty by offering sensory appeal

Diageo is set to launch a GBP2 million marketing campaign for its Smirnoff Vodka brand. The campaign will focus on the brand's history and heritage to create a feeling of authenticity, while also offering consumers the chance to win unique prizes.

Diageo: fabulous FAB boom a thing of the past

The move to reconsider Smirnoff Ice's advertising must be viewed in the context of slowing expansion in the FAB sector. Diageo [DGE.L] is unlikely to regain the kind of sales growth for Smirnoff Ice seen soon after its launch in 1999, but it can take comfort from the fact that FABs will consolidate their status as an established category in the overall alcoholic drinks market.

Diageo: holding all the aces

Diageo is considering offering financial help to either Pernod Ricard or Constellation Brands, which are involved in a battle to acquire Allied Domecq. Diageo is in a strong position, in that it has the requisite financial muscle to support either side in the bidding war.

Diageo: it's good, but not that good

Diageo [DEO] will see profits rise 6%, compared to its original target of 8-10%. This isn't surprising. As the market leader in a low-growth industry, Diageo cannot maintain near double-digit growth levels. Last year's 9% figure was due to Smirnoff Ice's US success - and it's becoming clear that the malternative's meteoric rise was a one-off.<BR /><BR />
