Nathan Low, Head of Marketing and Innovation SunRice said: “F4 has a great track record in building brands and demonstrated a deep understanding of the food and nutrition space. Fergus and his team have come up with some innovative ways for us to connect with the media, key influencers and of course, our consumers.”
Fergus Kibble founder of F4 said: “SunRice is driving real category innovation, with some terrific new product launches, and more in the pipeline. We are excited to be working together to help Australians find out more about how to cook with rice and use it creatively in new and interesting ways.”
SunRice’s Corporate Affairs account will continue to be managed by leading rural and regional PR specialist agency, Sauce Communications. Sauce will also continue to partner the SunRice Marketing team in the execution of projects in regional Australia.
To lead the SunRice account, F4 recently appointed Emma Koubayssi as Senior Account Manager. Koubayssi is a seasoned communications professional with over a decade of experience gained at leading Australian consultancies; Ogilvy PR and Bang PR, and at Diffusion PR and Kindred Agency in the UK.
