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.”
