the cofounder

Thomas Budin.

Thomas is the marketing and strategy counterpart to Yana's bar craft. Over the last decade he has worked with food and beverage businesses across APAC on marketing positioning, advertising campaigns, and consumer research, including programmes for Moët Hennessy, Pernod Ricard, Diageo, and Rémy Martin.

At Twin Spirits that craft turns inward: positioning the practice for the right kind of operator, designing the digital surfaces clients meet, and making sure every engagement reads as a single brand from the first call through to the menu on the pass.

Two operators, one practice. Yana ships the beverage programme; Thomas shapes how it lands.
