Bottom's up!: ThaiBev's revenue thrived amidst prolonged political unrest

Current political state won't hurt as much.

According to OCBC, Thai Beverage PLC (ThaiBev) is Thailand’s largest and leading beverage producer and distributor.

Its four key product segments are Spirits, Beer, Non-Alcoholic Beverage and Food. ThaiBev has substantial market shares in beverage segments in Thailand, accompanied by pricing power and branding.

Here's more from OCBC:

In addition, ThaiBev has 93 sales offices covering every province of Thailand. This enables faster delivery to the market. Its current stronghold in Thailand will serve as a relatively steady income pillar as it expands beyond Thailand and into other product segments.

We note that ThaiBev’s revenue grew by 2.4% and 12.4% in 2009 and 2010 respectively despite bouts of prolonged political unrests.

Hence, we think the current political unrest’s impact on ThaiBev will not be significant as long as it is contained in terms of area and number of people involved. Meanwhile, we expect ThaiBev to be able to continue executing its long-term strategy.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
