I hope this year will bring better #marketresearch, better ethics and more humanity in our industry facing the dehumanizing effect of #ai and the deflation and downsizing in the recessionary aftermath of #COVID-19.
Wishing happy 2024 to all our clients and partners from the Dragon Temple in Bangkok's Chinatown where we have our annual new year's ritual merit-making and Chinese-Thai style hot pot lunch.
Chinese New Year (CNY), also known as the Spring Festival, is a vibrant and significant celebration in Chinese culture. The festivities, marked by the lunar calendar, often involve family reunions, traditional performances, and, of course, delectable food. CNY feasts are a culinary delight, featuring symbolic dishes believed to bring good luck and prosperity. Dumplings, representing wealth, are a staple, while fish symbolizes surplus and prosperity. Yu Sheng implies abundance of wealth and long life. These festive dishes not only tantalize taste buds but also carry rich cultural meanings, making Chinese New Year a time of joyous feasting and cherished traditions. #CNY #yeamama
Today, we were delighted to receive an outstanding article about our dear friend—the one without whom Offrian would not exist today—the Legend: Don Pancho. We appreciate the kind words from Camilo Cesarino for The Rum Lab (with greetings to our friends Federico Hernandez). Don Pancho's significant contributions to the Rum Industry over the past 60 years are monumental and will be remembered. This moment also prompts us to reflect on Arturo Labarca, another esteemed figure in the world of rum, who is the originator of OFFRIAN RUM (OR). As we pay homage to both admired men, the Godfather and the Padre of Offrian, we express deep gratitude for what has been accomplished. Understanding our roots allows us to navigate our future more effectively. Thank you, Don Pancho, for a lifetime devoted to rum, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering support.
