Vodka Project in Cognac, France with Noah Cohen CEO

/0 Comments/in /by
Hello everyone this is Noah Cohen, CEO of Premier Innovations Group.  As I return from Europe today I feel the need to share some updates and pictures from our latest project. This past month Premier Innovations Group was hired to design and manufacture a new private label vodka from scratch, for a high profile national client based in California. Based on their formula requests for the vodka itself, this project took us to Cognac, France where some of the most highly recognized spirits brands in the world are produced. This is one of the largest and most renown distilleries in history and produces some of the largest and most successful spirits brands on the market, including almost every top 5 Cognac brand in the world.  A project this size is overwhelming to complete within the client’s timeline, but we are making it happen and our Vice President Frank Bachurski and I are bringing this vision to life. I can’t help but feel as if this is the next step in our company’s journey, now seeing so many of our goals start to take shape. 
Building brands of this magnitude is not easy and as some of you might know it can be a challenging path. But with great risk comes great reward. Our company is now partnering with clients and facilities from around the world to produce what will be the next generation of brand name spirits in this industry. We are even helping some local entrepreneurs from our home town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to create and launch their own brands which makes us very proud.  Our vision is coming together nicely as we increase our global approach and prepare to launch these unique brands with our partners. This is an exciting time for Premier Innovations Group and I am blessed to be able to share it with you.  We will be releasing some behind the scenes footage and imagery of the actual brand design process soon so stay in touch.  You can view our current portfolio of brands HERE and if you would like to receive a free consultation on creating your own wine or spirits brand, there is some more information on that at the bottom of this article.   
 
      
Thank you,
Noah Cohen

Clique Vodka, Stewart, Murray & Assoc. to Pay for Free Cab Rides on New Year’s Eve

/0 Comments/in /by

Pittsburgh, PA – Premier Innovations Group, owner of Clique Vodka, and Stewart, Murray & Assoc. Law Group, a DUI law firm, want you to get home safe this New Years Eve. The two companies have formed a partnership, utilizing Yellow Cab, to promote responsible transportation options to get home safely on one of the largest drinking nights of the year.

“In an effort to thank our customers for a great 2013, we are humbled to be providing free transportation to the public on New Year’s Eve, reminding everyone to Clique intelligently” said Noah Cohen, CEO of Premier Innovations Group. “We want to encourage everyone to enjoy drinking Clique Vodka while they are out celebrating and to remember to let us get them home safely.”

In order to obtain a free cab ride, you will need to call Yellow Cab and request “Clique Vodka, take me home”. The free cab ride will be valid within a 5-mile pick-up radius of downtown Pittsburgh, dropping off no further than 15-miles outside of the city. The cab ride has to be going to a residential location. It will not work from bar to bar.

Clique Vodka also owns the iPhone App ‘DrinkyPal’. It is their social responsibility app to get you home safely. Even if you’re not celebrating in Pittsburgh, you can utilize that app nationally to access the closest taxi and/or hotel number to get home safely as well.

Premier Innovations Group decided to partner with Stewart, Murray & Assoc. Law Group, as both companies are dedicated to promoting a safe, and healthy New Year’s celebration.

“Stewart, Murray & Associates is delighted to be partnering with Clique Vodka,” said Jonathan Stewart, Managing Partner of SM&A Law Group. “We are looking forward to offering our good neighbors and fellow residents of the Greater Pittsburgh region a free alternative to driving under the influence this upcoming New Year’s Eve. Happy Holidays everyone.”

Message from the CEO

Closing Out 2013

The holiday season is upon us once again. It’s hard to imagine how fast time has passed, as we progress forward in a whirlwind of action and teamwork. Currently, we are experiencing our most lucrative period now with Black Friday and Thanksgiving behind us. Holiday celebration is a time that all spirits companies look forward to. For Premier, we have much to be thankful for this season as we anxiously approach the new year. We have had an explosive foundation-building year to date. It has been filled with accomplishments along with a learning curve that took focus and patience, coupled with strong team unity. Many of these projects will come to fruition next year, as we laid the necessary groundwork during 2013. This groundwork will change the industry and the quality of life for our company.

For those who have followed our successful climb towards fiscal stability and the diversification of our model, it is apparent that we had a lot to learn. Together we all made the decision to start our entire program over again with our flagship product, Clique Vodka, at the beginning of 2013. It has not been an easy journey and it took considerable investment and struggle to get “the new black” in a momentum phase once again. Coming in and introducing something new that has never been done before is a humbling experience. Our team has been patient and has given 110% while the expansion of our distribution model has been the focus. We are proud to say we made considerable expansions and grew deep roots, while keeping culture, ethics and company philanthropy on the forefront of our movement towards worldwide recognition, market integration and penetration.

We want to highlight to the public the wins that took place as it is easy to see that we are on an amazing path. Domestically, our focus has been on expanding throughout the United States in tandem of our Total Wine & More partner stores, with distributors that can drive sales where we already have a presence. We have done this in California and have signed a broker agreement for Texas and Arkansas distribution. Sales in Pennsylvania have been thriving and Ohio and West Virginia remain a focus, as we continue to build brand recognition in these territories. Events all over the country have spurred interest in almost every state and major city and we are currently seeking our best distribution partners to stimulate expansion. In 2014, new distribution contracts will be signed, catapulting multiple states with access to our products in many on and off premise outlets.

The international front has been our strongest focus as we target key international territories where vodka is on the forefront of growth and popularity. Contracts in five Asian countries, Central America and Nigeria have been signed. Many contracts in other new countries are in progress. We will announce these in the first quarter of 2014, as the agreements are solidified. Although Puerto Rico is considered domestic, we are categorizing it as an international expansion considering its nature, size and distance. All approvals are done and Clique Vodka will soon hit the Puerto Rican market, with heavy distribution outlets backed by international Latin talent superstars. We are proud of these wins and look forward to them translating as strong revenue builders.

It is also important to highlight that we have had extreme interest in importation of other brands that we will not be participating in ownership or distribution. Instead, we will provide logistics and importation services into the United States. Several partnerships for our services are in contract and will also generate significant revenue in 2014.  It is imperative that we expand into the development of several new brands that will also be announced throughout 2014. Creative concepts for at least three new brands in all genres of the growing spirits market have been solidified. Investment partners are coming together for the new ventures.  I’d like to also highlight that Clique Vodka will also be expanding with multiple SKU’s. Flavors will be on the market for 2014, adding diversity to our already successful vodka brand. Other announcements new for 2014 are a 1.75 liter bottle becoming available in the United States market along with a one liter option internationally for Clique Vodka. Multiple products are the key to our Premier Innovations Group model coming alive.

As we wrap up another holiday season I want to make an exciting announcement as an effort to remind everyone to be responsible while drinking, remaining on the forefront of corporate and social responsibility. Premier will soon be announcing a sponsorship set for New Years Eve locally, to provide transportation provided by Clique Vodka to the public. More about this will be announced in the very near future.  It will be our way of saying thank you to all of you, for buying, supporting and caring about our journey together. Once again, I’d like to end this message as I always do. On behalf premier we want to thank all of our supporters and remind you to get even more involved and drink Clique intelligently and Don Pantaleon dubiously this holiday season.

 

Sharing in Success,

Noah Cohen

Autumn Greetings

/0 Comments/in /by

2012 has flown by like a whirlwind filled with unprecedented growth, preparation and activity. For us at Premier it represented taking a step back demonstrating preparation, patience and sacrifice. These cultural musts lead us two steps forward that will start to become recognizable and culminate in these last three months of 2012.

We made a bold decision with our flagship brand, Clique Vodka, to completely change the packaging and not purchase any more of the old components. This may create a manageable risk that we face in October of being short to meet the demand for the product remaining. We ask for understanding amongst our consumers and supporters in our territories for the transition and we want to stress the reason for this change.   Sales grow stronger everyday throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Tennessee. August was our biggest month ever and Clique Vodka out sold many well-known giants in the industry. With that being said, it does not change our main goal, which is to provide award-winning quality with award-winning esthetics translating into exceptional packaging at an unbelievable price. Incredible value is what sets us apart and with this latest change, I feel confident promising that to you, our consumer. With the big medal wins for formulation the product formula will stay exactly unchanged throughout. The package we are about to unveil is a complete and dramatic facelift boasting an exclusive decorative bottle that we feel will be a true game changer in the spirits industry.

The new face lift is upon us, as a large shipment of new finished product leaves Latvia landing in the United States in early November. Over 20 states, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Japan are all awaiting product. Negotiations in Spain, Canada, India and several other countries continue. Everyone is excited and ramping up resources to represent the new Clique Vodka. In November we will be unveiling this masterpiece.  We look forward to your presence at events as well.

Fiscally we will do more sales in three months then we did for the whole first nine  months of the year pending all of the accumulated orders for the new bottles. We are proud of the accomplishments and could not be more optimistic with the sales projections leading towards the start of a banner year in 2013. It is eminent that it will be a huge revenue year in comparison to the last start up year.

Premier is also in the stages of expanding our portfolio with several new brands for 2013. We can guarantee that they will be trend setters with unprecedented value. We always have only the best for our consumers in mind. Announcements will proceed at the beginning of 2013.

The Premier team grows everyday with more brand ambassadors and promotional help. We are proud of the size and impact our business is starting to have as a corporate and socially responsible company in the community around us. We continue to contribute, and over the summer participated in over 200 charitable events to support our communities. We will never stop supporting and with ethics and integrity we will continue to do our best to be a great company to work with and for.

With autumn upon us it makes me think of warm fireside nights with loved ones. It is often great to warm up with a fine fall libation. Here at Premier we know that with the consumption of alcohol there are risks and dangers. As I always mention we expect and ask our consumers to Clique intelligently and Drink Don dubiously while enjoying the fall Season. With the explosive fall growth upon us we want to encourage you to join us and be part of it.

Clique Vodka Captures Silver, Gold Medals for Quality

/1 Comment/in /by

A Gold Medal win at the 2012 SIP Awards solidify Clique Vodka’s smooth, impeccable quality among the top vodka’s in the world during the consumer-judged blind taste test competition.

Pittsburgh, PA (August 16, 2012)—It has only been two years since Premier Innovations Group’s first liquor brand, Clique Vodka, hit the shelves. In that time period, the core team based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has grown the brand by leaps and bounds. 2012 is proving to be a knock-out year for Clique, adding a third award for quality and taste in just five months.

The most recent of the three awards is the Gold Medal at the SIP (Spirits International Prestige) Awards International Spirits Competition. This competition is completely focused on the consumer, having them do blind taste-tests and rating spirits in multiple categories. This is the only international spirit competition that delivers the opinions, thoughts and voices of the consumers to the general public.

Clique’s first Gold Medal of the year came from the prestigious Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition, celebrating its 73rd year. Annually they see nearly 4,000 wines and spirits from around the globe. An esteemed panel of 100 international judges uses a blind-tasting method, maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism that has remained the competition’s foundation for seven decades.

Winning the Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition was a reputable way for Clique to start off 2012. With this being the oldest, largest and most recognized competition in the spirits industry, it has solidified the brand as a true competitor in the vodka industry, taking market share from some of the best known brands in the world.

“We made the decision to enter all three spirits competitions feeling confident that the judges would recognize the quality of our exceptional formula and respond positively”, said Noah Cohen, CEO of Premier Innovations Group. “The outcome of our three-medal victory solidifies what we already knew as a company, and now our consumers do not have to take our word for it. The medals are proof that Clique Vodka provides an incredible value and exceptional quality at an affordable price in the mid-shelf arena. High-priced vodkas boasting supposed exceptional quality with unbelievable production stories are nothing but smoke and mirrors. We are making a bold statement with our brands, which is that price rarely dictates how good a products quality is. Our culture is to put our consumers first.”

On pallet entry, Clique has a bold, creamy flavor reminiscent of Russian vodkas, but has a smooth, light sweetness on the finish with no burn to the throat. The formula gives it the components of an imported Eastern European traditional brand with the aftertaste of a crafted, limited batch vodka.

Clique Vodka is intricately crafted in the Baltic region of North Eastern Europe by fine vodka artisans in the country of Latvia. Clique combines Russian production standards of distillation and the highest level of Russian equipment. The natural spring water of the vast Latvian forestry sets Clique apart by enhancing the vodka’s body, texture and smoothness. Clique combines amazing Russian quality and tradition with natural artesian water of Latvia and the finest premium wheat grains grown in Europe. The end result is a product that cannot be matched in quality and smoothness anywhere in the world. With its alternative imagery, Clique vodka boasts an incredible value along with a super premium quality at only $15-18 per bottle.

Clique Vodka wins Gold Medal in blind taste-test; the only brand in the Vodka category granted this distinction, surpassing thousands of other brands, including Chopin Vodka in taste and quality.

Pittsburgh, PA (June 26, 2012)—Not even two months after winning the Silver Medal for taste at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Clique Vodka has been awarded the Gold Medal in the Vodka Wheat (Unflavored) category at the 2012 Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition, sitting among the top brands in the world during a three-day long blind taste test.

The 2012 competition was held in Los Angeles on May 21st and 22nd.

“Our goal in 2012 was to submit for the big two global spirits competitions and receive medals in both to display on our upcoming new packaging design, which is launching in the fourth quarter,” said Noah Cohen, CEO of Premier Innovations Group. “After receiving the silver medal in San Francisco and then taking the gold in the larger competition in Los Angeles, we couldn’t be happier with the expert judges’ decisions affirming that our flagship brand, Clique Vodka, boasts incredible production standards and is among the best brands in the world.”

On pallet entry, Clique has a bold, creamy flavor reminiscent of Russian vodkas, but has a smooth, light sweetness on the finish with no burn to the throat. The formula gives it the components of an imported Eastern European traditional brand with the aftertaste of a crafted, limited batch vodka.

“To be awarded the gold medal in such a competitive international industry such as vodka is a true honor and a testament to the quality that goes into Clique Vodka,” said Jimi Romanus, Vice President of Sales. “Our company feels that Clique presents itself as the ideal vodka for drinkers with advanced pallets when it comes to looking for an extremely affordable vodka in today’s economy.”

Clique Vodka is intricately crafted in the Baltic region of North Eastern Europe by fine vodka artisans in the country of Latvia.
